>multi-year

ah yes, why do what can be done in an afternoon when you can do it over the course of a decade instead

I don't think you understand the unnecessary amount of work I put into these horse roads. It's taken me about like 2 days of pretty much non-stop blacraft (well, ok no but it seems like it) to get like 400 blocks of it done.

The problem is, I don't like these roads having any bends at all and only subtle gradients soo...

A step by step guide to making a yqt horse road:
1. Planning (involves placing pillars to mark locations)

2. Vague terraforming to make the road

Although I'm not bla level obsessive I try to make it look somewhat realistic at least. The former max height of this island was y=65, now it's basically all at the road level

3. Bridges/tunnels

4. Road surface details

5. Final touches

6. Speed II potion dispensers (upcoming)

At this rate of 400 blocks per 2 days it will only take like 3-5 more days but that may as well be a few years since I'll get bored and do something else with my blacraft time

Nice render.

In other news, the game designers of World of Warcraft have looked for inspiration in the infinitely wise design of The Battleground and Trenchland. Praise The Battleground and Trenchland and their infinitely legit and perfect game mechanics.

Today I got lost in my own slightly-below-surface tunnel network so I decided I need to make a map in order to retain some sanity:

There can't possibly be space enough for all those bodies in Aahrus only

Cool.

Blacraft has had some problems over the past few days with crashing upon startup, these should be fixed now.

Fiah posted a map from 5 years ago on IRC and the map had Darvince's old "Vinelandar" region on it.

Here's what 5 years of ruthless exploitation and destruction of the native Vinelandars looks like:

Dynmap has been more or less updated.

Report all bugs or complaints to me, I guess, since I'm the one with the file and the script to change it. Or, well, post in the Blacraft Land Division thread; I'll see it there too.

Hey if you're bored I have two minor issues with the current dynmap:

Even though it makes no sense anymore, I still want Verslest split into Wyverncliff as I had requested back in January 2014.

This one is a land claim request so I'm not sure if Bla is going to make me go through the process, but it's so minor and inconsequential that I hope I can just get this through with no pain:

It's just fixing one of those ugly borders I have hated for the past 2 and a half years. I didn't claim the entire swamp because "I'm never going to use it, I just need it to connect my new region in the north" but I feel like the peace of mind for having a fixed border is worth claiming it permanently tbh

Good job on the borders.

The new guideline on regions says

Quote

Regions which do not contain rare biomes should as a guideline be 100,000 to 400,000 square meters in size (equivalent to squares with side lengths of 316m to 632m respectively).

However Wyverncliff would fit inside a box of about 284m x 208m, and have an area less than 60,000 sq. m. How about making Wyverncliff a municipality within the region?

As for adding the area to Mystic Marsh, I would vote for, but it's probably best to follow the rules on land division

Just like a region can be owned by a player, a municipality also can. But TMC doesn't own the area anymore.

Darvince · « **Reply #9022 on:** July 27, 2016, 04:54:44 AM »

then how does it work if the two people are in different states

Bla · « **Reply #9023 on:** July 27, 2016, 09:41:24 AM »

There's not any rigid rules for it, but probably the municipality used by the player in the other state would act as a member of that person's state. Unless the municipality is very collaborative or something like Partinia Lanis.

Today's developments at Swamphold. Also landscaped some of the chunky area a bit further north.
