needed: prefab city
« on: December 29, 2010, 01:34:18 am »


               Hi,
I was thinking of making a city but I doubt I have the creative juices to make a really nice one.  Anyone care to volunteer thier own creation for reuse in my mod?


Thanks.

                How big a city?  I have some town & village sized in my prefab "Village Pack."

               very big, I was even thinking of making some reusable areas so the city could have vast sections.   The prefab doesn't need to be super huge but really the bigger and more fleshed out the better.

                24 by 24 is about as big an area as you can make without the inhabitants causing too much lag.  There are ways to go larger still (by segmenting off the map into different populated areas) - I am working on a 30 by 30 city right now using this technique (screenshot here).


You don't need to make a city vast to make it interesting or realistic.  Medieval cities were usually quite compact - get on Google Maps and look at satellite views of the old city of Dubrovnik, Croatia or Carcassonne, France for a good examples.

               Thanks Bubba,

Fester graciously allowed me to use his Almraiven as a prefab. So that's what I'll do, still might try the reusable areas too.
