    Approved Lonely Hills Terra Project

    Hi gang! I'm back with another sadistic terra project. I plan to update the Lonely hills terrain as it is currently worldpainter or similar quality, and needs to be brought up to scratch to fit with Carci's beautiful work in the area. Below is a map showing the planned topography, and historical...

    Approved Bigglestone by Jakethesnake8_8

    Hi Rex, just some feedback for the moment. Currently your tents seem very clustered on your map, and it might have scaling issues in-game. I'd also recommend doing some less fancy tents. Not every soldier would have a colourful wool tent, most would just be some sort of animal hide I reckon. I'd...

    Approved House Estermont by Jeff

    The only problem with this is the Faroe Islands do not fit the area geologically. The Faroe Islands are volcanic islands, with heavy glacial action as a result of their high latitude and climate. Their shaping is completely different to what Estermont looks like, so it doesn’t really make sense...

    Approved House Estermont by Jeff

    Hey Jeff, I’d strongly recommend slowing down build progress to update the terra. Currently the cliff facing open ocean is very tall and very flat. Take a look at the cliffs at Frost, they do a good job of making a more stepped cliff while maintaining their height. Similarly, the whole island is...

    Approved Project Application: House Swann by Aino

    Hi Aino, just posting on here about braided rivers, which you could include in the wider parts of your valleys. "They join together and form a braided river. The reason this river is braided, is because it has a height change of about 10 blocks over a distance of 300-400 blocks. While it may...

    Completed Ferren (foster) by Finn01_

    Bumping this feedback, as it's something I also mentioned whilst it was WIP. I'd also suggest changing the roof tiles to be brown as opposed to black in the spirit of cohesiveness across the Westerlands. There are also quite a few plot shapes in the main town that we don't use now (L-shapes in...

    Approved House Sweet by Tobi

    I like the idea in principle, the trouble is it’s not hydrologically sound for the aforementioned reason that it seems to flow across the highest portion of the project. By sweet water, are you referring to fresh water? If so, all the streams would be fresh water, because at that slope, the fast...

    Approved Project Application : House Crane of Red Lake by ZoSo_666

    Hey Zoso, it's nice to see your ambition to continue with Redlake, I can't wait to see it completed! Having worked on the Westerlands-Reach transition style, I was wondering if you could alter the palette of Red Lake to accommodate this. Currently, the palette has the cool-toned light grey...

    Approved House Sweet by Tobi

    Hey Tobi, nice to see you making progress on Sweet! I have just a few notes regarding the terra. You have a river running parallel to the coastline on a narrow strip of land. It makes more sense to have smaller streams coming from the higher elevation and being perpendicular to the coast. It...

    Approved Southeastern Vale Megabuild (Wickenden, Ruthermont, Redfort, Runestone/Gulltown Peninsula) by Emoticone11

    Hey Emot! Just thought I’d come on here and bring the discussion of terrainset to the table. After some research and perusing a wiki of ice and fire, I’ve found what I believe to be solid proof that the Vale does not have white stone as presumed. Firstly, in the Vale chapter The World of Ice...

    Terra School: Glacial Mechanics

    Heya, I figured my next post would be about glaciers and how they work and some of the unique forms they leave behind! Here we go, A glacier is a large dense mass of ice that is *always moving*. Whether they are descending the mountain due to gravity acting on their own weight, or melting and...

    Approved Project Application: Antlers

    Right on the money, Star. Varner takes inspiration primarily from villages and towns in East Anglia, with some scattered French elements here and there. French and German elements are primarily seen in the castle, the septry, Belleglen and a few landmark buildings here and there.

    Withdrawn Project Application: House Slate of Blackpool

    Hi Finn, just a few things from me! Firstly, the town looks quite large on your map. I’m not sure if it’s the scaling of it, but I’d be careful not to make it too large or too urban. Secondly, while the Slates are influenced by house Manderly, it’s important to note that the Northmen in general...

    Approved Project Application: Antlers

    The fields are reasonably sized imo. I live in an area with a lot of fields and I can vouch for their vastness. Most likely fields are smaller in Duskendale in order to maximize space for a city sprawl. Field size isn’t really something that is important when it comes to cohesion, realistically...

    Massey's Hook sub-region - Discussion Thread

    I'd remove Holm Oaks, they are a primarily mediterranean species. You oaks should be on the small side, and really only hardy variations of white oak can survive well enough near saltwater. I'd also remove willows, as they're more found around freshwater. The rest seem okay to me, but I'm no...

    Completed Probation: Deiniol

    Checked through all these houses, they are more than satisfactory. We are also coming to the end of your probation period, so I will explain a bit more on the 25th. Overall, you've produced great work throughout your probation, so I don't anticipate any problems with promoting you.
