Yliakum is smaller than I thought it was.

Nice discussion on the city placement. Of course it's ultimately for the dev team to decide, but here are a few facts:
The city was suppoed to be second level (but honestly, it doesn't really matter which level)
It has famous in all Yliakum 7 huge landing towers for the flying creatures. Making Amdeneir possibly the biggest merchant center.
Coz of the towers, it's logical people could arrive there via this direction.

Anyway, here is image (since the last overal city screenshot, the city got scalled 1.2 times, so a new overviev below may be useful):



Terrain is already there, but while blender is able to export it to CS from a mesh:

Max is not, and a different tool is needed, so i gues ya guys will have to recreate that terrain ;o

Dows that link lead to the pic of Amdeneir? Cause if it does, it looks awsome can't wait to get there IG.....

If there is a forest between Hydlaa and Amde then good luck with that

[Dracaeon]

It's funny how amazingly complex the city looks in comparison to the somewhat boringness of the terrain...

[Earowo]

needs trees, lots and lots of trees

[Phantomboy86]

Could use some water too, i mean it is the city of the klyros. We've got gills!

[confused]

Terrain definitely needs water, or an old mine (4th mine) filled with water could do for a klyros swimming pool.

Amdeneir really looks beautiful.

Well ... descending to the second level via flying creatures is only one possible way. Those who can't afford that will need to walk down there. And that calls for a map which leads downwards through the mountains along the edge between the first and second level.

I already mentioned that I once modelled such a kind of terrain, and was even able to get it working in walktest...

(01-10)

I'd love to make more of that as required.

[Earowo]

I like LigH's Picture, I have yet to see a hill, that looks that good

[LigH]

That looks much more interesting from below:



Here you will really need boots in good shape!

[Earowo]

Would be interesting to see what kinds of creatures would have to inhabit Amdenier area

[confused]

Nice map LigH. You already have some maps to add with Amdeneir to next release. I thought terrain maps would be fairly easy to make compared to city maps, and buildings.

Go wild LigH, make the sector maps. 

[LigH]

No. I won't make anything unless instructed how. That one above was just a "proof of concept". And it was already made years ago, in Crystal Blue times.

needs trees, lots and lots of trees

Fields as well, need to feed the population.

As of trees and forests, how can it be done without being an overkill? It possibly would be a FPS killer with so much models.
