Vagothian Fort

In the beginning, there was only snow - LoL! ;-)

Loopysue · September 2016

Ooooh - a STORY!!!

Please tell

CharlesWayneRobinson · September 2016

It will just be another WIP like the village.
I just started with the base.
I will update the map with something probably within the next 24hrs.
I hope to finish off the regional map of Hardrada sometime this week or next as well.
I still have some CA3+ stuff that I have to get back to as well.
Not to mention my last semester of college.
The MBA is going to make a great Christmas present! LoL! ;-)

I just love this... "In the beginning there was a stream" way of telling stories

I played around with the wall today. It is not complete yet.

It is my first try at doing rounded wall.

"And, then there was a wall, sort of." LoL! ;-)

Thanks

And what better than a perfectly circular wall?

Charles - did you intend to follow the grid with your river?

CharlesWayneRobinson · September 2016

Nah,

The river is a set of symbols and therefore are limited.
But, I wanted the river to match the village map.

Loopysue · September 2016

You decided against drawing it with a single line of appropriate width and fill, then?

Dogtag · September 2016

The river is made up of symbols and is an alternative to using other drawn entities, such as lines and paths. The symbols allow mappers to quickly create a river with flowing water and good-looking river banks. Additionally, they already match the drawing style so mappers don't have to spend a lot of time trying to find the right combination of colors and effects to suit the map. The river symbols are used the same was that some mappers use wall symbols to create walls rather than use drawn entities to do so.

Loopysue · September 2016

Oh I see.

Where do they come from then - the river symbols?

Dogtag · September 2016

I believe these particular symbols are City Designer 3 Bitmap B style symbols, but I may be mistaken.

Loopysue · September 2016

You're right - they're in the Walls folder, naturally

Dogtag · September 2016

Ah, apparently the same organizing scheme that put horses in the Vehicles catalogue. :-D

Loopysue · September 2016

But of course! LOL

I'm just not logical enough to be able to find these things all by myself.

Thanks Dogtag

I took a break from my midterms and played around with the walls and the river some.

I'll say again what I said at the Guild - Oh yes! Its looking much better now that you've added the more irregular outer wall. And I'll add here - makes it look like the ground is more realistically uneven

CharlesWayneRobinson · October 2016

Thanks Loopysue! :-)

CharlesWayneRobinson · October 2016

I had some people ask if everything was okay.

I am fine, I a just real busy right now with my final semester.

I will be getting my MBA in December.

I am also real busy with trying to find a new career when I graduate (I have a family of 6).

And, I am one of the people working on a commission.

Very little time to do much else - Ha, ha!

Thanks for checking up on me though!

Loopysue · October 2016
