See this picture for regional borders, roads and rivers. Some roads are a little "off" in the Uld Vraech part, but the merged map file has the layout we're aiming for.

I'd like to take this one. I want Cormaris to be a town which has a feeling of being fortified, and at the centre a kind of stronghold, citadel. I also intend for it to feel wintery, with bits of ice on the lake. There would be a small, but permanent dock area, for the import of foodstuffs, and the export of what I only assume is lumber, and ebony from the mines.
Is this a city proposal, or would I have to build it?

The lake shouldn't be quite as large as it is in the map image; it should only span some of the row, not the entire row, of cells it occupies.
Also, this is a relatively new town, so keep that in mind. Granting.
Oh, and just a reminder: Work off of the height map.

Just a heads up, this claim needs an update (and a file) by Wednesday.

I like city claims.
Would it be possible for me to work up a layout for Cormaris?

Awesome, I split the claim off from the rest of map5 last night and I'll begin a layout tonight.

Here's my plan for Cormaris. All the architecture is set. I cut the size of the island in half, this way the town occupies the whole island. This shouldn't change anything besides the fact that the lake will occupy another two cells that used to be island. I think this looks better and works better with the fortified feel. There will be cliffs around the rest of the island, you can pretty much see where'd they'd go.
Be mindful the file is dirty, as I was too excited to clean it.
edit: I cleaned it

Very nice, love the multiple levels thing you've got going on.
Obviously it will change once you've got terrain and rocks in place etc., but right now it seems to me just a tad 'artificial' having the city so neatly fit on the island. I would perhaps extend the eastern side of the island a bit, but make it rugged terrain that's not suitable for building - a rocky peak that rises above the rest of the city might frame it quite nicely? It would also be a nice conclusion to that natural curving 'rise' in terrain you have the city following.

Very nice.
Perhaps a smaller island or two could be placed to the east of the main island, hosting some summer residence of some noble, shack of a hermit, or HQ of some secretive institution, grotto, ruins of some older settlement or what have you (or simply just wilderness). There could be a boat connetcion or not. Just large water area would not look to good, IMHO.
Also please include suggetion of height of the terrain in the south and approximate road location. I would like to match my claim to yours. Do you plan to have the lake surounded by high peeks and aim for a feeling of a mountain lake?

I'll begin placing larger terrain statics and the bridge today then.
I like the idea of islands, that would definitely ease the problem of having a big wide open lake now.
Once I have a little more progress I'll take a few screens.

Thank you, this is why it's extremely important to make plans before any valuable and irritating-to-delete work has been performed. The size has to be drastically reduced, Cormaris View is supposed to be a "Hlaalu venture" into disputed lands, whereas this is close to Balmora in terms of numbers of interiors. It pretty much goes without saying - this needs to be way smaller.
I'm sorry the description doesn't include guidelines on that particular detail, but from earlier consensus we've landed on max 20 ints or so for this town (oops I shouldn't have called it city), and also important: It's a fairly "new" settlement as well, which means the modder will have to make sure it looks less developed than, say "older" Hlaalu towns.

No problem then if we can't use this.
I had some time to drum up a settlement the last couple of days, but seeing as this isn't what was called for, and I won't really have time to sit down and mod for a while, I'd rather just drop this now than let it sit while I find free time to mull for ideas.
Sorry about that.
edit: I added my latest file in case you want to truncate the existing city to the desired size. Also, use my file since it has the separated cells, rather than going back to the heightmap.

I sympathize with you on this, Tyrion.
I tried to claim this some years ago, but my proposal for Cormaris was 40 interiors back then
Hlaalu set is just so cool for crafting large cities this temptation is hard to resist.
Making Hlaalu town of less than 20 interiors is perhaps comparable to driving Ferrari at 50km/h.

It's just I wasn't aware of the scope of the settlement. I've never used the Hlaalu set to build any significant settlement before, so I ended up going all MC Escher on it.Theo wrote:I sympathize with you on this, Tyrion.

I also have the tendency to rush ideas when I get them, and I was a bit over-ambitious here, especially given the fact that I didn't have time to go back and redo anything.
Bad planning on my part.

I'd like to try this. The town will be reduced in size and will have a squarish, fort-like shape. It should have 3-4 towers, one large administrative building 4-5 shops one (or maybe two) taverns and 7-8 regular houses. I'll keep a sizable docking area though because a) this town thrives on trade b) it's the safest way to bring food and stuff into it if the redoran decide to blockade the roads. The island will be bigger so the town will be about 1/4 of it. I'll also put some smaller islands all around.

Like the design; for the bridges perhaps either make the centre-rails bleed into each other (but lower/raise one slightly so there's no visible clipping) so that it's not very obviously just two adjacent bridges, or more simply scale them up to 2.00, which might look nicer anyway.
Personally I'd keep the islands in the lake separate, not linked by bridges? Dunno.

You might place a discrete dwemer ruin somewhat hidden by trees in the north east part of your claim. I think that would look kind of nice, and would be an original addition to TR. For other stuff, placing mines, caves, velothi tombs is all right as long as they're not too close to each other.
