    How the heck can Lord British live in Britanny Castle right next to an Oracle Confirmation Chamber and not have more to say about the Oracle? Or how can the Oracle not have more to say about Lord British? I almost expect to see Lord British sleeping in an Oracle shaped bed at this point. :)

    Wow, that's a nice mix of lot size types spread throughout the city. I counted 117 total lots (9 of those are water lots) so it's going to be a lot more "exclusive" than I was expecting. Being the capital city of Novia, I was sort of expecting at least 2-300 lots there.

    As a comparison, Ardoris has 188 total lots. Granted, a majority of these are row lots, so m2-wise they are likely equal. But I was just picturing the capital to house more people than any other city/town.

    Not complaining, just making an observation. ;)

    That was my first thought as well, looks awesome Steve. Keep on trucking brother!
    Your layout gives me some ideas for my own LOTM placement in my POT. Sure wish I had that tool you have that allows you to lay out the terrain a little bit inside the city. The different elevations are really attractive and eye catching.

    Lord British does not live in Britanny Castle.
    Or anywhere on Novia.

    Did he get kicked out of the house? Is he forced to live in the Oracle Confirmation Chamber now?

    We don't know.
    We do know that he is mostly forgotten in Novia.
    There has also been discussion about the accuracy of the wording in the post you quote.

    OH

    MY

    GOD    ​

    This will make losing any chance of getting a row lot in Brittany (as it will be super clear and evident++ no later than halfway in August) even more painful. I want to live there oh so much. And knowing that I will NOT is gripping and shredding my heart. :eek:

    I would say, pragmatic. If I desired to own the lone Castle lot in Britanny, I would see the secondary market as an amazing opportunity to achieve that goal. Likewise, if I wanted a row lot in Britanny, but my place in line during the land rush was number 2465, I would see the secondary market as an amazing opportunity to achieve that goal.

    Giving money to players instead of giving to Portalarium? Ahaha, no thanks. If I really wanted those lots more than the money in my pocket, I'd pay the creators, not the speculators! :D

    Because this subject is off-topic and distracting from the great work being performed by Steve, I've made a new thread where we can discuss this further, for anyone so inclined...
