Oh dear, I wasn't sufficiently clear.  You are the second person to
assume that I meant the images themselves.  I didn't; I meant the
positioning, which _is_ up to the map designer.

Inside a city wall, nobody would want to live in a house that gets no
sun because of the wall being right next to it.

In northern hemisphere, with the winter sun from the south, the southern
city wall would have a street next to it rather than buildings.  You
would not find grass growing immediately north of a wall.

Just a touch of realism.
I'm into solar passive design, it's been done for centuries.

The images; yes, they should all be shaded from one angle.
