$I don' like the colors on the giga, but I do like the little building. Like I said before though...more plants.

Well. I'm only going to comment on the last screen because I'm pressed for time.
First thing, and it happens to be the most important. You're architecture isn't thick enough. The architecture of Babylon is dense and close together, I mean, look at that picture.
Make you're buildings taller, grander, and more interesting. In all honesty I don't think this is a theme to be undertaken by a rookie, and I use that term lighty, parkmaker.
I'm not trying to be mean, that is just my thought on this theme and you. So don't take that personally.
Anywho...
You've still got that green in there which totally ruins the theme, at least, for me. The flowers that youy've chosen dont help either. I would suggest that you use a dense shurb/white flower mix to give it that hot feel.
I also suggest you make a second level of buildings. Like, you know how in Arab citys the rooves are practically another city. With people running on them and all, well do that.
So, there ya go, some things to help you out. This theme will take alot of work to perfect but I think you're just the guy to do it. -

Thanx for the comments Glitch...at least you posted more than one line of crap...lol...
First I am going to try and clear up this accurate thing...as someone said already noone knows what Babylon looked like in the first place...the pictures that are there are just the artists ideas...with that said...I have used some pictures to give me ideas for my park...but I don't necessarily use the entire picture...I use portions of pictures that I like...such as the last picture I showed I only used it for the gate...
Since no one knows what it looked like...everyone has their own opinion of what it "should" look like...I have my own opinion and obviously some people disagree with it...but oh well...its my park and my opinions...another thing is that I think everyone is taking this accurate thing too seriously...I mean if I was doing a six flags recreation I would understand people saying that it isnt accurate...but this is a "recreation" of a place that no one knows what it looked like...
Anyways back to the comments...taller and grander...I have made a palace that is tall and grand...no screens of it tho...and I dont think that the market area can really be tall and grand as that is where the poorer people usually live...I'm not sure what you are trying to say about undertaken by a rookie? but I dont take it personally...if I took things personally here I probably would have stopped showing screens awhile ago...
Yes a second level look would be good and I have been thinking about doing just that for the final areas that I have to do...
Thx again for the comments...
Maybe one more screen soon...
P.S. who is RR? -

Damn.
Now THAT is what I'm talking about.
Everything in that screen is very well done.
The flowers look good, the architecture looks good, everything looks good!
Well, wait, maybe take out that Fir tree and the wooden base blocks, but other than that its greatness.
Make the rest of the park like this dammit!
