    Brittany is looking truly fantastic. It is what I hoped it would be like. Great work as always.

    So is this the entire Brittany or just Brittany Central?

    I admit i expected more lots. But:
    It's a part of Brittany. So there will be more parts. And more lots.
    Still I doubt people that aren't at least Baron will have a real chance to grab a lot. But than again maybe the next part will be the slums and have a ton of row lots ^^
    We will see.
    The designe is wonderfull. I will try to grab a village water lot.

    It will be interesting to see if emerging of Brittany will shift people traffic from Hidden Vale area to Central Novia or not.

    Would the looks of the city be enough for people to go there?

    Good Work Esteban, one question. Is this all of Brittany or are there other sections coming as someone suggested above?

    It still changes the feel of the scene if there are fewer lots compared to more lots. If its just a housing issue, its not really important, since you have PRTs and POTs everywhere with housing. Double the amount of lots! Bring all our computers to a halt!

    There are plenty of available lots in some other NPC towns like Yew and Mud as well. Brittany shouldn't be the new Owl's Hear despite being capital and all.

    This entire thread is dedicated to the area called Brittany Central. This is not all of Brittany, there will be other adjoining areas.

    Would there be only a single overland access and then the remaining areas will be nested to the overland one?

    I'm confident that all the mud and dirt scenes are done to push more sales of hot tubs... 8^)

    Will the street signs be updated to show the actual street names? Right now, all of them appear to be just "Avenue / Lane". Granted, you can hover over them to get the actual name but I'm hoping the actual runic text reflects the name in-game vs. tooltip.

    Brittany in QA 29 Looks Great ( shape style feel are fantastic ) But still small I realize its just part of it but each zone of Brittany should make Ardoris look very small........ It's Brittany after all. :)

    In preparation of Brittany (Central) release, I have done a video walkthrough offering a sneak peak of the City. Not sure where to start, wanna dip your toes in, catch this walkthrough of Brittany as you prepare your visit!

    That was a great video @SorcerousSteve! Thanks for giving us insight into the design of the town.

    Bonus points for opening the video with one of my absolute favorite SotA songs, Long Live New Britannia (Trade and Commerce) by sirWombat.
