 Settlements of the Rift Available for Claiming! |
     |
The four settlements in the Rift area are now up for grabs. The
settlement of Reich Corigate, Sunguard, Greenwood, and the Riften
Legion fort can be seen on this map http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/5751/promskyrimmap8no.jpg
(fort is considered part of Riften on this map, but is actually just
near it) Keep in mind that they cannot be modded yet, this is only for
pre-development, as they will all be in the exterior worldspace. You must state why you should be granted the claim, and then I must grant you it
to the settlement before you start pre-development. Once granted please
start a thread with my description of the town, your ideas for it, and
some concept maps and sketches you have done of the place.
Settlements
Reich Corigate: a sleepy little trading town found in the
Northern forests, right on the edge of the physical Rift. They are a
last stop for adventurers heading in to the rugged North to rest and
stock up on valuable equipment and rest. Built in Cheydinhal/retextured
Cheydinhal style (modder's descretion). There are 10-15 buidings in the
town, which is surrounded by a large stone wall.
Sunguard: The western most settlement in the Rift. In ancient
times the town was a stronghold of the Order of the Silver Raven. To
this day the stronghold still remains at the center of town, and still
rests in the hands of the Order, though they pay tribute to Riften. Now
a days it is a warrior town, everyone (except the village trader and
inkeeper) in town is a warrior of some sort, either from the Order, the
Fighters Guild, government, or a freelance mercenary, as the town has
no other source of income outside of being payed to kill this or that.
It will be built with Prometheus' Nord homes (need interior tileset),
and have 8-10 buildings and a castle at the center of town.
Greenwood: Located in the forests a short distance west of
Riften. It is primarily a hunter/gatherer/fishing village, a small
amount of agriculture and livestock are raised to be sold at the nearby
Riften Marketplace. Built in the Bruma style (retextured with snowless
roof), there are 6-10 buildings in the town, surrounded by dense forest.
Riften Legion Fort: The Legion Fort houses the Bear Legion
controls the nearby pass into Cyrodiil, taxes travelers passing
through, and maintains order in the Riften area. Built in castle style,
with some farmhouses/Corhal structures thrown in for outbuildings.
There should be a barracks, messhall, officer's quarters, trader,
census and excise office, a few guard towers, gate house, a small
cathedral to the Nine, and a few other things if you can justify them. This post has been edited 1 time(s), it was last edited by Siegfried: 13.06.2006 00:02.

for the small towns I think you have stated to many buildings for them,
I think a "big" village in Cyrodiil only had about 7 at the most.

Hmm, maybe, but I'm going for Morrowind esque settlements, like
Pelagiad, Seyda-Neen, Khuul. Just large enough to be useful, unlike
Beth's villages (Hackdirt)

maybe a small farmhouse and finally some cotages around the outside.
And a small Imp cult chapel somewhere (probably a small room in the
main building with an alter and some priests) |
Ok, granted 
but the houses should all be a part of the fort, or inside its walls,
since its only a stone's throw away from Riften, the only farmhouses
that would be there would be built into the structure or within it to
house Imperials, since everyone else would just go live in Riften. |

Here is the layout (Imperial cult Chapel is going to be under one of the barracks in a small room.)

New layout, utilising unbroken fort ruin pieces.

Why? I'm doing the textures :p
I'll have a concept town plan up soon.
EDIT: here it is.
EDIT2: I just realized I forgot a stable. What I'll do is you see where
there is kind of blank area behind the tavern? I'll cut the wall in
there, and put a stable there.
EDIT3: Will this be intergrated into Tamriel of have it's own worldspace? |
Granted
Concept looks good, I have a few suggestions though.
For future reference

Please use seperate threads for each town's discussion
once your claim has been granted, or this thread will become very
polluted very quickly.
TOYB- please us the castle tileset and the first town layout you did,
though using the fort tileset is an interesting idea, and somethign I
would like to eventually use, the Riften Legion Fort should be well
kept, and use the castle set.
xfir- Your suggestion for the stable sounds good, all villages will be a part of the Skyrim worldspace unless stated otherwise.

I have done a tester exterior utilising the castle ruin set, but using
pieces that aren't ruined, it has turned out really well and looks well
kept and it looks like it still would be used. I think it would be a
good idea to let me kept the newer design, as it has turned out so
well. For the Ints however I could use castle pieces, this would mean
it wouldn't be ruined at all.
Edit 2006.06.25 02:57:
I don't want to come off as greedy but I would like to claim Greenwood so for because it needs a retex I would just duplicate the bruma IDs and rename them with "1SKxxTBGreenwood01", 02, 03,etc.

Here is my layout of Greenwood...

The claim is not granted until I say so, and it isn't this time. Your
enthusiasm is admirable, but you need to focus on what you have claimed
right now. I like your layout for the town, but you already have a
settlement claimed, the Riften Legion Fort, along with the Hall of the
Order of the Silver Raven, the Riften Sewer System I asked you to make,
the Falmer Ruin retextures, and two dungeons. Once you get the Riften
Legion Fort done, interiors and exteriors using the Castle Models,
along with some of your other claims, and some time has passed and no
one else has shown interest in Greenwood, then I might let you claim
it. I like the layout you did, its cool, and it would be a good example
for anyone who claims Greenwood, but whether or not the future claimer
uses it is up to them. Also Greenwood shouldn't be in snow, it should
be in temperate pine/birch forest in a valley/foot of a mountain
(depends on the heightmap) the area should be green, hence the name
"Greenwood". This post has been edited 1 time(s), it was last edited by Siegfried: 25.06.2006 05:48.

Get the Riften Legion Fort Interiors and Exteriors done, if you buckle
down it will probably just take you a couple of weeks, I'd rather not
have a bunch of settlement exteriors with no interiors, its best to
take jobs one at a time. The settlements aren't getting claimed very
fast, so don't sweat it. Even if Greenwood is claimed by someone else
there are still a ton of other villages in Skyrim, so not to worry. |

How far away is the Riften Legion Fort from completion.
Psychotic- If you want I will grant you Sunguard, unfortunatley the
models we planned on using for it turned out to have several problems,
and work on completing the set was post-ponned. You can still work on
concept and pre-dev for it though. If you want to start right now Reich
Corigate is back up for claims, but it is already parshly built, so you
have some work done already... |

I'm just waiting for the HM so I can mod it in.
Plz just let me have Greenwood, I haven't been able to get it of my mind since I first asked about it.

Fine. You'll need to replace your buildings though with snowless roof ones once they're created.
Psychotic: Here is the Reich Corigate File. Continue your work in the
existing Reich Corigate thread, make sure to read through everything
that was going on. It needs interior work most, also it needs exterior
detailing, but that should wait till its moved to the main worldspace
once the Heightmap is complete. There are no architecture pieces
remotely close to Sunguard. Some concepts would be nice though
(Sunguard), all the structures should flow or be connected in one way
or another.

Thanks, I read the whole Reich Corigate thread already, so I know
what's going on. About that Anvil tower... shoul'd I wait for a
re-texture or replace it?

I probably will, but I might give that re-texture thing a go mysefl, if
it turns out well it might look better than any other options.

Are ANY settlements done yet? I see all these settlements claimed but
half them appear totally stagnant. If you guys do work and post about
it in the core forums and stuff then that makes sense, but all the
stuff in this subforum just looks abandoned =(
I'll be done with Reich Corigate soon and would like to do packages for any settlements that need them.

I'm not sure how far ahead Greenwood is, is it on the heightmap?
Sunguard can't be made until the traditional Nordic architecture is
completed. Most of all that architecture needs interiors... and a few
extra buildings wouldn't hurt either. I'm planning on making Sunguard
when the architecture is available for use as Khornate is not active at
our forum anymore (I will follow his basic design concepts though).

Riften's exterior is pretty much finished, and a lot of the interiors
are done. Sungard has no architecture. and Greenwood was claimed by
TOYB, which pretty much explains the lack of work done on that. |

Do we still have access to the old Greenwood file, the one that used the Bruma stuff?

So does that mean you did put it on the HM, but it's not merged with the main file?
