Need more instruments (drums, horns, etc...) and a little tweaking, but I think that I'm close to getting there.

Thanks! I was backing out of the command because it appeared to of changed the orientation of the symbol I was placing --clicking through and playing with the command now......really speeds up things once you understand how it's thinking.

@Wyvern - Thanks! Great observations.

I agree on the city walls, but since this is the first time that I successfully used both trace and the symbol offset to create, I'm too proud of my efforts there! I'll try to offset by creating a second wall that is in process of building - maybe scattering buildings around the outside will also draw away from the prefect arc.

Redrew the deep water, corrected sizing on fills, and increased blur on water. Will post an updated version later today!

Not much progress today, blocked in the "petrified trees", added some farms, resized and added lumber camp tents. I was going to correct the trench foundation construction - where it ran past the road, but decided that erosion happens at work sites, so I added wood to bridge the problem areas.

Good point - this is what happens when a Midwest Accountant suddenly decides that he can map.....nice neat layout with linear features.

So to pivot, I'll say that the area south of the river is "Old Town" and will try to make it a more realistic presentation. Will also move and adjust some of the existing buildings in the Shipyards and Milling Districts. The upper section will be the "wealthy" district.

I really appreciate the observation! Growing up in the US - particularly in the Midwest we have allot of green space (I'm now building a house in a area that requires a minimum of 1/2 acre per lot to facilitate septic..), and the major roads were I live are actually a well laid out grid.

Senan - Liosach

Brae Islands

Background

Removed from his position by the Druids of Colaste for his anti-slavery position, as well as his

marriage to a Priestess; Count Fen has gathered the Houses that remain loyal and retreated to

and fortified Senan.

In response, the Druids have turned over Liosach to House Goldenlilly, and cursed the forests

around Senan

Cursed Forests

Once lush forest land, the forests surrounding Senan have been cursed. The trees have

died off, and rumors of unusual creatures make the forests a dangerous place. The trees when

harvested and milled are an excellent source of ship building materials. The wood, although

requiring special tools to work remains buoyant, is tough, and fire resistant.

Carragean Seaweed Beds

Harvested by Juanpi’s divers, the “leaves” of the plant are used as a food source, while

the stalks are retted at Loopy’s retting field. The short fibers are sold to Royal Scribe Services

where they are made into cold pressed paper. The long fibers are processed and sold to textile

makers: Ricko’s Textiles is known for its colorful fabrics; Calibre Sail creates rope and sail cloth.

Up Town

Consists of the estates of the wealthy houses that have come to support Count Fen in

his exile. Other buildings include the Grand Cathedral, Castle Fen, and The Five Masters

Military Academy.

Lumber Camp

Just outside of the eastern walls, the lumber camp houses the rough necked men and

women that brave the dangers of the cursed forest to harvest wood for Anderson’s Lumber Mill.

The Warrens

Consisting of tightly packed three- and four-story homes where the city laborers reside.

Old Town

The original town center, consisted of a chapel, the town hall, entertainment center and

open market.

The Steel Reef

Some say that the reef was created by the fall of a clutch of fighting dragons, others say

they are remnants of great ships from a prior age. Steel Reef divers led by Master Diver Maidic

brave the dangerous waters to retrieve valuable precious metals – particularly high-quality steel.

American Indian; Old West (yes Dalton!); Log Cabins; Homestead/Farming

Thanks for posting the fcw files - I learn a lot by taking others work and deconstructing. Great work!!!!!
