Wait ‘til I get to the sewers!

Hi Cal,

I would be honored for you to use it. Eventually it will make its way into the Atlas when I find a home for it, but that could be a while. It's still a work in progress, but you're free to use these FCW files as well as the rest that I will post when they're ready.

Made some tweaks to the second floor. I forgot that I planned to have a smaller family dining area on this floor. Ended up converting the office to a small dining room, as it has a nice fireplace and seemed cozier than the solarium. The head of household can do their books and office work in the library. Rearranged the appurtenant WC so that it's accessed from the hallway rather than the dining room. Still haven't figured out the white line with the paths (under the steps leading to the servants' area on the first floor).

Probably won't have a chance to finish this by the end of Halloween, as I had planned, but that's okay. Here's the second floor. It has a few guest bedrooms and some common space for the family: an office, a library, and a solarium or sun room. The ballroom extends into this level, as it has high ceilings, but it is from this level that the family and VIP guests can make grand entrances into the ballroom from the stairway.

Not really sure why my roads outside now have a visible white line down the center. I tried changing the color to brown, but that didn't work.

Just noticed that in addition to failing to furnish the office, I also neglected to put in a doorway!

Still to come: floor 3 (bedrooms), the top floor of the tower, Basement 1 (kitchens, wine cellar, staff quarters, etc.), a secret Basement 2, and the sewers that connect everything together.

Coincidentally, I happened to watch one of the remakes of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (the 2007 Nicole Kidman film Invasion) the night before Mike Schley's latest monthly symbols were released. Just for fun, I decided to do a quick-and-dirty map with the new Hive Civilization symbols. I hadn't gotten a chance to play with the Mesoamerican symbols (busy making villages when those symbols came out!), it gave me an excuse to try them out, too.

If there's a Hive expansion next month (they tend to come in pairs), maybe I will revise this same map to show the Kheek'zit invaders' expansion onto the mainland.
