Unfortunatly it gets harder and harder to top my better maps. 
They take a fair while. For example, the desert city took about a month (hehe) because it comprises of 4 different chipsets and made up of 20 smaller maps (So I could make the city much larger, a different style, harder to find your way around and have the city get a sort of history by having it the trades capital (As you can see there is the old cuture of the city in the centre and then others started to build around it with a different culture and then right on the outer part of it there are a load of squatters selling tat.
So I had to make the maps fit perfectly onto each other (Whilst using different chipsets which made it pretty hard) and make it in a way that the chipsets would never overlap (The persian style culture border is very squarey because that's where those map limits end).
I also got very bored whilst doing it, so I kept having long breaks.
The small village one took a few (10-20) minutes to make the MAP (Had to change the chipset a bit because it was missing some stuff I wanted, but the chipset was full so I had to add things to replace the extending chips)
The snowy mountain was done a longggg time ago. So I can't really remember...a good while though.
The large city took about 3 hours.

I don't want to show too much off.
