WIP - The city of Ankh-Bathor

[Marken4]

How could I miss this thread? Anyway, amazing map, cool backstory and Good Luck!

[Clercon]

So Clercon, are you still working on this one?

Of course I am :-)
But at the moment I'm having a break, ploting out houses is quite tiresome so I needed to do something else for a while. So at the moment I'm making the Drakonia world map. But you can be sure that I soon will return to Ankh-Bathor.

That makes me very happy. :-]

Another update, after four months. This project is moving slowly, but it's moving.
Some more houses added on the west side of the town. Ihope you like it.

That's what you get for picking up such a large project: work, work and more work
It's starting to look really nice though. As a city it's also believable. My only regret is that it's black and white, colors would have made it more amazing I think.

Progressing quite nicely...

Yes I know, you get to work, work and work. But hopefully it pays off in the end, even though my wife thinks I'm crazy:-)
The reason I'm using B&W is that I intend to add some custom made graphics, like temples and theaters. And I think it will be more easy to do in the B&W version. Secondly I'm planing some heavy photoshoping in the map after I'm done in CD3. Mostly effects on water and terrain etc. We see where it will end up.

Thirdly.....you have already made such great city maps in colour so in this way I don't need to be compared with your high standards ;-)

[Ramah]

My God... my wrists want to slit themselves just imagining all that work. :S

Great stuff, Clercon. This is gonna be amazing when it's done.

Clercon, I envy your computer system. I have 3 CD3 cities that I have built too big and now I can't get anyfurther unless I upgrade my PC.

[Clercon]

Well I don't really have that a fantastic computer system. I have an AMD dual core with 4GB of RAM running XP.
I'm thinking of upgrading to Win7 64 bit system and adding in some more memory, but I guess I have to wait 'til I'm done with the map, so I'm not risking anything :-)
