Here is the first update on a more ordinary part of the city. I used the house tool almost exclusively, to keep as much to the Watabou layout as possible. The only special building is the Temple in the lower left hand corner.

I will next concentrate on all the street furniture and background - dirt, grass, mud etc.

Finally, I will do the text, labels, and also use the city commands to assign buildings to various function types.

So far, no slowing of speed in redrawing. with all effects on.

Here is progress on the Palace area. Next will be the other area.

I = Inns and Taverns

T = Temples and Shrines

1 = Palace

2 = Triumphal arch

3 = City Hall

Here is today's effort. Just building frills, and street furniture to go, plus some pretty up of the frame and stuff for the harbour, then text.

So, I should finish this in less than a week, real life permitting.

Progress - now for house trimmings, and street furniture, and some ships.

Comments welcome, especially on improvements needed or things added or subtracted.

I hanker to create a huge city like I did with Dun Fingolfin.

I also wanted to stress Watabou to the max. So here is a city with 28,000+ buildings.

I intend to detail each building, using mainly CD3A, Medieval Buildings and SS5. Obviously, various areas will be demolished to make way for Stadiums, etc, and grand hotels, big mansions, university, museums, theatres, bathhouses and red light district etc.

But this is the start. I don't expect progress to be ultra fast - Dun Fingolfin took over a year.

Also, I detail two small areas I am concentrating on this week.
