I'll take a shot at this JK.Just going to finish up the settlement pieces first, shouldn't take me to long to finish those.
Awesome, thats fine by me, but I'll carry on making the wall set for dune, as its the same once as for Orcrest, the towers will be different though.

I also mentioned to Shewter via MSN that you'd probably want to do the palace still aswell as you had plans for it? Also Shewter's been well briefed on the designs of the city

How about this: doing architecture modelling together.
I think that will be much faster and much comfortable.
So, what do you say?

That's what concept art's for.
When you're working on a particular architecture you really want several variations on a theme so the buildings don't all look the same - so you need a single source file if you're to avoid duplicating someone else's work. Two modellers can't physically work on the same model together, so you're really just trying to ensure everyone has the same vision.
At the moment there are few enough of us that there's no shortage of work to go around, so even if two modellers work on one city, the best split is lower / middle / upper class buildings, plus public buildings. Times the number of cities (six) - that's enough room for 24 modellers without treading on each others' toes. It seems to be the way most teams work.
Personally, I like the approach of modelling for a bit then uploading screenshots for comment. I've seen your CS work over at Blackmarsh (very nice, BTW) - so I think you quite like that way of working too.
Collaborating in that way seems to bring out the best in a team: one person with artistic control over a body of work; constructive criticism from the group.
Of course two modeller can't work on 1 model.
But if the major modeller make the lower class first house, and send it to the second modeller with textures too, then the major modeller can go to middle class.
Or, if the major modeller made the lower class houses (exterior only), then he send to second modeller to make interiors.
But it was just an idea. Anyways, glad you like my interiors!

Could work I guess - but I for one am very posessive of my models X( and once I've made a basic form I'd be quicker knocking out the variations anyway.
Splitting interiors and exteriors is a different matter altogether: that's perfectly reasonable.
Keep the ideas coming: they're not as daft as some we get around here!

Allright, sir.
