    This is a neat idea. All we need now is for someone to pick a city and zone it. There are a lot of cities to choose from... who's going to do it? I know crap about zoning, otherwise I'd have done it already and attached it to this post.

    If we used Port Magalie then would that be a problem ?

    I was thinking to use a town that hasn't been mapped already, but if you want to further detail Port Magalie that is most certainly fine by me.

    I'm kind of excited about this, I hope it turns out fun for everyone. I for one will need to know what scale to use and how big to start pixel wise for resolution, etc.

    I think I'm a competing slum-lord with Xyll (You know, we could have titles/awards for this stuff; from Gardeners to Lords)

    Does Port Magalie have any landmark places of interest that need mapped out or will you just use whatever gets created? We don't have to necessarily create every building in the city. I can see someone getting skilled at statues or fountain areas for instance. Thus, when creating city plots it would be good to make notes of any significant areas such as town squares or meeting halls.

    If someone wanted to create a random house that would be fine but if we need to simplify the project, we could begin with significant places. This falls under the Planning and Zoning commissioner of the city or whoever is role playing the ruling class. Maybe we can have noobs like myself build a few shacks to breath a little random life into the town while the more experienced among us take on the points of interest?

    Port Magalie's CWBP wiki page. The only buildings of note are Weers Castle and the Wyvern's Nest. Neither have been mapped, though the Wyvern's Nest has a thorough description by 12rounds that should probably be followed.

    Since this is a port city someone around here who maybe likes to do space ships might want to map out a wooden ship for the docks, hint hint

    I'd love this!

    And I might want to do a ship.

    I've attached an image of Port Magalie and noted a few small zones that I'd like to see. I'd like for someone else to zone the rest of it, though I'd like to retain veto rights in case something contradicts my vision of the city. Can't think of what that'd be right now, but just in case.

    I've deliberately placed the shantytown in Lower Magalie directly below the Royal quarter and, more specifically, Weers' Castle in Upper Magalie. I figure there can be some weird power struggle there, and someone or something in Lower Magalie preventing the nobles from doing anything about it. Just a thought.
