Posting stuff in the maps forum only makes sense if we can at least forefeel what the map might become once it's finished. My comment was almost entirely about the description, maybe the texture theme. A quick light compile shouldn't take much more than a few minutes and is worth it if you want any feedback at all.
Lighting is an essential part of your map just as brushes, texturing and item placement. You should have an idea for what lighting to use (evening, night, noon... maybe torches for the medieval theme). And for screenshots the visual aspects are quite important. We can't guess what you have in mind, we need a lighting compile. It also gives your map depth so you can tell the size and shape of things easier.
It's worth it. Please do a lighting compile. I bet it's less than 15 minutes.

calculatin takes many hours to get it ready.
I only calculate it when map is ready.
And this is some kind of fun map....

This is definitly your most promising project, so far! Looks like a fun theme.
Please post screens with lighting calculated as soon as possible. It's hard to get a feel of what it's going too look like in a fullbright compile.
