They are very good! I only have one comment and that is not to outline buildings, or use black lines for seperation in anything. That's what shadowing is for.

I have a very stupid question, using Photoshop 7, how do you give your buildings shadows?
Sorry, I'm still very much a beginner.

That's not a stupid question at all. Just go in with a slightly darker shade of the color you're using and draw it in, and keep getting darker until it's how you want it.
Here's an example:
Look at the crown and how it gets progressively lighter.

The blurriness may result from resizing. If there are aspects of the larger diagram which are not evenly divisible by your reduction factor, then it will blur. For example if you are drawing at twice normal scale and have let's say windows at 13 pixels centre-to-centre, then they will be 6.5 pixels c/c once reduced. The program can't display a half pixel so it makes a "composite" pixel as the average of that one and the other half pixel.
