The Capital

[Coyotemax]

I like the way this is heading. And thanks for the mention
*feels honoured, thank you!*

it'll be interesting to see how the history aspect affects your city.

Actually I was looking a bit closer at the areas in your layout and got to thinking (uh oh)
The keep itself may be a little close to the water, close enough for a naval bombardment of sorts. Myself, i would put the diplomats over there - if someone came in and started bombarding, that area would likely get hit first. This opens the likelihood of involving other nations on your side of the conflict since their ambassadors were the ones attacked first

Of course that may not work as well if the diplomatic envoys came later on in the history, as the keep would be heavily established by then, but I see you have them listed in phase one
