Since 4-34 is coming along nicely I'd like to claim this one. link below for basic layout.


http://img28.imageshack.us/i/23627612.png/

area 1 will be dotted with little swamps.
area 2 is the approximate location of Hla Ruhn
area 3 shall have RM textures

not on this screenshot is ladrys, which I shall move closer to the mainland. I will place the dwemer ruin on ladrys as well.
also, do we have a guideline how large Hla Ruhn should be?

Swamps?? Please elaborate on that one, this is the velothi mountain region.

Ok on Hla Ruhn location, size 7-8 ints. Remember to pull the island further south, not necessarily closer to the mainland. The idea was to have the ash swamps not have a WG island right outside... would look weird. What the heck am I saying? Wrong claim, sorry. Don't move the island further south...

Allright, I will move ladrys southwards.

About the swamps then:

Since the claim just south of it(4-42) has some little swamps close to the border with 5-4. I thought this would make a nice transition zone. It would basically have a few tiny pools in an otherwise dry landscape.

Okay, granted. But don't move the island further south, that is for 5-22 to do, I got mixed up there for a second. You can shave off some of the eastern part of the island to create more space, as long as it's border matched with map 4.

I may suggest fitting Hla Ruhn into one single cell. On your picture it looks like it is going to be stretched over four cells, which is too much.

I just looked at this, Hla Ruhn looks far better than I imagined it would, really good work on that and the rest of the claim so far!

you do a really great job at capturing the feel of vanilla Morrowind, Dave, this is great stuff. Your use of terrain to create interesting viewpoints in the village is lovely.

One thing I'd point out is the archway at the Dwemer ruin. To me it looks very obviously like it's made out of one cloned rubble block, and not very Dwemer. Doesn't look natural.

Wow. That is quite possibly the most glorious Dwemer ruin I've seen in a long time.

I'd agree that the archway doesn't look that "Dwemer" though I'm not sure if it's a problem. It's very unique.

It's true that I wanted to make something unique out of this Dwemer ruin. If you guys have a problem with the arch I might reconsider it.

Any chances of experimenting with flora climbing on parts of the arch? It might hide moddyness from it.

Ivy?

That might be a nice idea.

I also thought about making a round ring of stones and place Dwemer doors in it, still have to see how that looks though.

Updated:

Since I've been busy with archeological fieldwork, progress has somewhat decreased on this one. I am, however, pleased to announce that fieldwork will be finished in just a week time so I'll have time to finish this one pretty soon then.

I have added some Ivy to the arch in the Dwemer ruin. I'd like to hear from you guys wether you like it or not. if not, I'll probably scrap the arch.

Glad you're still kicking, nice to hear you will be finishing this soon.

Just dropping by to say this is incredible work. I love Hla Ruhn, and finally someone succeeded in making me fond of a WG area. Wouldn't have thought I'd see the day ;)

On the ivy thing: I looks good imo, though you could add some more to it, especially on the other side of the arch.
Really, do not axe the arch, never. This ruin is totally unique and I like it.
Keep up the great work!

AGAIN I failed to find the newest file. Anyway, let me hope these betacomments are of any use. They were made with the 4.esp rather than the 4r.esp, but I have checked in the CS that at least the second one still persists in the 4r.esp (I have not checked the others).

Newest file would be Tyrion's in his post two posts above yours. I think Tyrion has recently taken to adding the letter 'r' to the end of files he reviews, so it's easier to tell a difference if you have multiple files of the same claim.
