I thought I'd throw the question out there. If for some reason we got our hands on new Indoril and/or Dres architecture, should we feature a village of each type in the Silgrad Tower mod? The villages would be contained in their own worldspaces and the player would only be able to reach them by boat, solving the problem of them being situated far from our part of the Morrowind Province.
The reason behind my question is that I've been mulling over whether to compile information about our major unclaimed modelling jobs to present to 3d modellers with no connection to Oblivion whatsoever, and I wanted to know if the consensus is that we should request architecture of those two types as well. Naturally it wouldn't be something we would prioritize ourselves since it's beyond the scope of our current plans, but the idea appeals to me because it's a part of Morrowind culture and, in case of Indoril, also a part of the game history as it was featured prominently in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: Tribunal.
The logical follow-up question is, if we do get our hands on Indoril architecture, should we aspire to rebuild Mournhold? If so, what should the details of that arrangement be? In my personal opinion I think we should, assuming we have the assets to do it, but at the same time I feel the idea of that would hinge on finding a dedicated mayor for the city who would make it his or her pet project within the scope of the team. We sure don't have modders to spare on such extraciricular activities right now, hehe, so it would be a meaty job for a would-be mayor. In either case fact is we don't have Indoril architecture right now, so mayorship of the city or the workload for modders is mostly a theoretical discussion.
Looking forward to the discussion
