    Hey folks, I have a few sneak-peek screen shots of Hallowed Plains to share with you today. The area is a sacred site of an old battlefield which has recently been desecrated by Kobolds who are building a new settlement there. The new version of the map is inspired by a mix of Gettysburg and the trenches of WWI. The scene is still in a relatively early state, and I will post more screenshots as it progresses.

    Oh this scene needs the sappers in! I bet that emplacement has already inspired some kobold engineer to build bigger artillery.

    Thanks for the pre-peek, Sea-Wolf!

    Haven't visited on the server yet - it would be nice if Kobolds are not directly/only hostile but wary. I.e. Like Skrekk city Kobolds can be interacted with. Based on the avatar's behaviour they could either be hostile and attack on sight or open for trade and quests. Also it would be nice to have "civilian Kobolds" like craftsmen and "combat Kobolds " where attacking the civilians impacts your karma and reputation.
