EDIT: I just noticed something that needs to be polished in the 'after' screenshot. God. Damn. it.

I've got nothing to do today, so I'll work on Town 14 - Halmar next.

EDIT: I just noticed upon starting on Halmar that some towns have invalid scene props in the prop overview that don't have a model or a texture, we can safely get rid of these to help performance a bit. Anything that lowers the prop count without affecting gameplay or making the map look too artificial.

Don't worry about the time, no ones attacking any cities right now and rushing to get it done takes the fun out of it anyway. It looks quite nice no me, like a good agricultural center for the area. I am curious as to the spawn set up in this map. Any spawns in the outer wall, or would defenders need to ladder down to it to get there. Perhaps a small portcullis and winch sally door in the wall would be a good thing? Looking forward to seeing Halmar

[Warcat]

Note to all people that want to make a city. 0-9 are attacker spawns, attacker equip spawns 1 meter behind point 0. 10-63 are defender spawns. Defender equip is at point 65. Figured given recent events with the unedited Dhirm, I should reinforce the need to get this right.

Updated Suno and Tulga.

The are no defender spawns on the lower wall, I honestly think anyone spawning there would be overwhelmed with the number of attackers hopping the wall almost instantly and any defenders spawning there later would be on a suicide mission.

Perhaps a small portcullis and winch sally door in the wall would be a good thing? Looking forward to seeing Halmar.

There are four gate houses in Uxkhal, two in the outer wall which will be opened fairly quickly I imagine, and two on the inner wall - these are lined up directly behind the ones in the outer wall and I expect these to be much more defensible. This allows defenders to 'sally out' if they wish.

Note to all people that want to make a city. 0-9 are attacker spawns, attacker equip spawns 1 meter behind point 0. 10-63 are defender spawns. Defender equip is at point 65. Figured given recent events with the unedited Dhirm, I should reinforce the need to get this right.

Maybe a good Idea to quote chadz from another scene thread into the OP then?

Spawn points work with the entry system.
Right now it looks like this:

0:        Attacker. (The storage for attackers is always one meter behind 0.)
1-9:     Reserved for addtional attacker spawns, but currently not used. (Place them anyway)
32:      Defender spawn (in village)
10-63: Defender spawn (castles, towns)
66->65->64->32: Checks in this order if one of the points exists and spawns the construction material storage for the defenders there.

Khudan:

A bit smaller, more of a regular town. One main gatehouse and a second on on the side (for access to the inner keep), no "outer access" to town.
The outer barriers are more to the sides then shown in the picture. Some polished buildings were used, but they are only used as prop buildings at the sides (due to collisions being wonky).

Looks good, added to OP

[Jacko]

Next up Reyvadin. Narra! (Reyvadin on hold, Narra is more fun at the moment)

Also, remade Suno somewhat, with performance in mind. Removed most of the props, lots of grass (where you can't see it anyway) and other various similar tweaks: http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=3244

[Mustikki]

I will start working with Yalen and i wanna make Veluca after it.

[Ozin]

I'll have a go at Tihr!

[Warcat]

Updated, was beginning to think no one else was going to volunteer to make any.

[Jacko]

Nice! Finally, the end of the tunnel.

Also, I'm working on Narra, not Reyvadin (switched).

[Ozin]

I think I'm done with Tihr. Here are some screens:

Lots of spawnpoints at the middle of the map, and quite a lot on the walls. Removed the ramp leading up to the wall. Almost all roofs are closed off, except the 5 front towers on the wall, and the tower in the middle of the town.
