    Super cool!

    It looks like the hot air zeppelin is gassing up.

    I also love the name of this scene.

    I think the bottom left lord and keep are too many they should be taken out for something else more unique to a slums environment - maybe an arena or church or a pavilion of sorts after all it is the SLUMS

    also will the slums have a thieves area where you can fight NPC vagrants and also a larger sewers with possibly a thieves hideout to ransack

    knowing that if is a slums id say have less guard influence in the area aswell so that more hostility can arise - reminds me a little like riften in skyrim

    Bumfights :D

    Maybe thugs is a better way of putting it... they'd come out at night from the thieves den.

    I'm hoping for an underground city in the interconnected underworld, but we haven't seen any indication that will happen.

    Wow, @RrMatey !
    This is more urban than I expected - reminding me of some really old and crowded areas of cities here in Europe - and then you add a shipyard and an air-shipyard. I can just imagine the workforce trudging at all hours to work and the taverns full at all hours of those that are off work or unemployed. Your scene has already created a feeling of class distinction amongst Novians that had not really been evident to me before, except perhaps for old Jack the Lamplighter, and Brittany Alleys is not even ingame yet.

    I agree with @Matheryn - a church or an extra tavern could certainly replace one of the keeps. Although for Role-Players, the tenement boss or factory owner might want to live close to the peons. :D

    I was very impressed with the map/architecture work put into Brittany. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

    @RrMatey , Love this! I agree with the others that we need a seedy tavern in the mix. In one of your screenshots you have some barrels placed randomly in front of the row houses; will you be adding in similar details (carts, wagons, barrels, misc objects) to the scene?

    I'll probably melt down some items and get another ancestor account for a tax free row deed just to place here. I love that sprawling row house look. Reminds me of what BDF wants to do with Rats Nest.

    Scene looks great but this was my initial "what the?" concern also.

    As it currently works you get to use the placeholder home until changed so what if I never change it? Really shouldn't get a free pledge only row house I'd think right? Or am I missing something?

    It would be awesome if the houses used in certain areas could be limited. Meaning there should be some very cheap but run down row houses that people can purchase and only place here. Great way to get new people to the game after release into houses fast and in bulk.

    I am glad you liked Kiln! That is one of the previous scenes I made before. I will be sure to keep this in mind when I make future makes and keep those tenants in mind.

    These are transplants from Ardoris, so they created a little community in Brittany Alley.

    Look at Skrekk, one of the last scenes I made. It is entirely underground. Not connected to the underworld network because it is one of the ending scenes for one of the quest lines.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I am going to add a good tavern that everyone can meetup at and gather.
