A rough sketch of the city layout.
Or maybe it would look better like this? (ignore the floating buildings & other errors  )

I think i like the river more, gives the land character even before textures.

i opt for the river version as well, although i would widen(the right side of) the river at the base of the frame to give it a better appearance of flowing through a more flat terrain; as it is now, it looks like it would be the start of a waterfall.

Well, if it's mainly about the water I could add a river to the second option as well, or maybe a river that flows into a lake.

water's not really necessary, but it helps to jazz the townscreen up a bit. think about it: wouldn't dungeon look awesome with water in it that had stalagmites poking out of it? imo, the troglodyte's scant water wasn't enough. take a look at inferno's townscreen. while it looks ok as-is, wouldn't it be 1000 times better with flowing lava? the stationary stuff kinda sucks and doesn't look like lava at all, does it?

To be honest i hadn't noticed that the background mountains changed until you pointed it out. It's hard to notice since it's not textured yet but there is definitely less sky in the second one. I'm not sure which i prefer tbh as the sky tends to eat up a chunk of screen and usually doesn't have much going on in it.

Didn't know you had that sort of criticism inside you for Heroes 3, fred. Are you sure you're not perhaps... a heretic? 
I have nothing whatsoever against improvement.

Town backgrounds are just static images, as such they coudn't add an animation to lava unless it is a building.

In VCMI at least nothing stops from making fully animated town background (it's just DEF or PNG images animation on top of static TS)

Actually, look at Conflux or Fortress, they have an animated waterfall, respectively moving waves.
