Is it closer to spawn then Karik?

Is it closer to spawn then Karik?

No bloody clue, I just found out it is right by the karik mines, so I am assuming not... Any areas near the cloud temple is non mountainous

The only places closer to the Cloud temple is the snowy areas and the flat forested areas.

Another location I found that contains a very nice valley, the only issue is that the area is in North lakemere...

Here is a little something I wiped last night. Everything I made would be built bigger.

Entrance Coordinates: (-250, +700)

[The world map]

Follow the Glowstone towers if starting at (0,0) and ends at a Lava tower.

This is to show what is going on in my head... hopefully... I am not crazy... look a distraction!

I find your map layout is far too large and complex... As we are attempting to make it smaller and more open spaced, there are a few to many rooms.

To add I do believe we are focusing on making it one great hall, but I think a few extensions would be fine.

A idea I had in mind for this would be creating a single great hall but along the side walls add hallways for the guilds or clan in which houses can be added to, a flag of each clan can be hung ontop of its entrance... At the back of this grandhall a forge can be built and meals can be cooked it will also contain a stairway down leading to a large storage area, to finally add the grand hall will have a long table and 3 thrones at the end of it in which dwarves can feast at another feature within this hall will be symbols or statues of gods or paragons so the dwarves may pray before meals a rather cliche thing people do if they where religous.

This idea keeps it alot smaller and it will require less rooms, I also reccomend 5x5 free housing in the halls surrounding the great one.

but what about the front gate design i made?

[Charles_Grimlie 1072]

but what about the front gate design i made?

It's ok, but in my opinion a bit small right now... Maybe a large door should be made, I did build a model one for holm I can show later but I bet it will be awkward to fit into the room leadinging into the city, but we should have a front hall in which we can fight off invaders in.

[Oghren Grandaxe 31]

true this was just a idea, i think as well that the door should be larger, higher but the general idea is preety good right?

I've actually found some great places myself, two ravines, one of which is underground, and a large cave close to Dwain. Darius and I also found some stupidly awesome mountains as well.

Yeah pretty neat Idea I do like the stairs towards the gate, maybe make them a bit longer in a later design but as far as that it is pretty good.

lets get a server up than a freind of mine is looking in to it so maybe soon so we can work somefing out.

Here is my take on Exodawn's design.

I tried to condense it as much as possible.
