    Approved House Mollen - Finn

    Heya Finn, Looking at your forest tests, I am blown away. Forests are a hard thing to get right, and you've done a really nice job of detailing the area. A couple notes from me: 1) Duckweed floor cover In the coniferous forest, the duckweed cover is good. In order to prevent it looking too...

    Completed Probation: Aferys

    Don’t stress it! Like you say you’re new, and there’s a learning curve that comes with it. Up to you if you want to keep developing the build or if you want to cede control to someone else. Either way, it’s your choice!

    Completed Probation: Aferys

    Hiya, just want to remind you to look at the tags on builds before building them This build was marked as special, which means it needs to be tested for on your plot and approved by the build lead (me). The building should be damaged by war. The sept is an exception because in my headcanon, the...

    Approved House Santagar of the Spottswood - 7 and Steele

    Putting my two cents in here! An alternate explanation for the fingers having valleys and all that fun stuff could just be down to the geology. The valley could stay if we accept that there is folding of rock layers in the fingers. The fingers themselves could be anticlines, and the valleys...

    Under Review Project Application: House Tarly of Horn Hill by Awbman

    Awb, working in the Red Mountains requires competency in terraforming. It’s not the sort of thing you can just “pick up” like I did with Varner terra. It’s the equivalent of throwing a newborn into the sea and telling it to do backstroke. Your ambition is admirable, but you have to be realistic...

    Approved Lonely Hills Terra Project

    Heya, Thanks for the swift response. You’re right, I have no intention of updating the structures in the project(s) affected myself, as it’d be a bit of a stretch on project rules. I also feel a little out of my depth building in the north, as it’s not something I got much experience doing as a...

    Approved Lonely Hills Terra Project

    Hiya gang! Here's my 7ish month update! The greater portion of the hills are terraformed now, it's just a matter of doing rivers, vegetation, roads and the odd shepherd plot here and there. I'm also contemplating a small hamlet in the wider part of the valley just as a POI to draw people into...

    Approved House Bar Emmon - by Rexstop

    Lovely app Rex! Cannot wait to see where this goes! Two notes for you, because I'm silly like that, the east coast of the hook would be a high-energy coastline, so the beaches would be rocky, and quite small, as the rate of sediment deposition is lower than the rate of erosion. On the western...

    blondie.b Probation Thread

    Hey Queen, I'm gonna take over your probation! Welcome back to the team. If you could build 3 houses in distinct styles for me I'll assess them, and confer with the probie team and we'll discuss steps from there. There's no point making you do the whole month again, seeing as you've nearly...

    Completed Project Application: House Amber by EverlastEvil

    Hio Ever! Great to see you back. If it makes things any easier, we have a script that places schematics automatically and has significantly improved forest-making technology in terms of speed and end result. I forget the thread name but it’s made by Emot and it’s a godsend!

    Update Application - District 13

    While I agree with the points made here, I think the message has become a little distorted. There are ways to reference issues with a build without being unnecessarily hyperbolic. What I’m getting from this discussion is that there are some stylistic choices being made that don’t entirely...

    Approved Lonely Hills Terra Project

    That is something I haven't even thought about yet (if I think about illustrious plans, I tend to set my heart on them lol). Uh, well I would reckon anywhere between 10-20 blocks to allow someone to create some really good rapids downstream. I reckon anything north of Ashwood is at risk of some...

    Approved Lonely Hills Terra Project

    Hey all! I'm here to bring up a little roadblock. So canonically, the White Knife has rapids downstream of where the Lonely Hills are. With that, comes the need to raise Long Lake and the White Knife itself. While Carc's terrain is brilliant and has revolutionised the North, I think it's...

    Block Change Request: Dark Reach Palette

    Perhaps I've misused my terms, but your inspiration images that you have linked are quite grungy grey colours, some of which do in fact appear to have cooler undertones. Furthermore, upon closer inspection, a few of those inspiration images can be satisfactorily recreated using our...

    Approved Lonely Hills Terra Project

    I come bearing gifts! A 3 week update! So landscaping is going well, the main valley and its offshoots are mostly done or being worked on by myself. In the more complete valleys, I've started to map rivers, landslides and forests. As a rudimentary colour and method test, I've whipped up this...

    Block Change Request: Dark Reach Palette

    I think at OT there are 4 potential palettes to be worked with. Reach stone Reach plaster Oldtown stone Oldtown plaster I think that adding a darker, potentially cooler toned palette would be a little much for Oldtown, especially when we’ve got two colours and two variants of each colour.

    Block Change Request: Dark Reach Palette

    My two cents here; I think we’re a little late in the game to introduce a new palette to one of the most complete regions of the map. A new palette for Dorne makes sense because it’s outdated, canon dictates otherwise and it was an incredibly underdeveloped region until recently. While I...

    Approved Project Application: House Foxglove by Opaco

    Hey Opaco! Just some quick terra feedback from me! I think seeing some tests for the woodland would go a long way, considering the climate and altitude of the project, the forests should be different to other forests on the server currently. They should have different species, such as Stone...

    Approved Bigglestone by Jakethesnake8_8

    Hey all, quick update from me! I've been plotting things around Bigglestone and Bigglestoneham1 has open plots. These houses are not burned down, but are untouched by Lannister advances as yet. I have also started work on sections of forest surrounding the completed or near-complete areas of...
