Update 11: Kingdom of Cattala

Author's Column - Page 3 CityLogo

Apologies about the lack of updates on Ollingdale recently, I'm still working on the big project at my other website and the Ollingdale-Holidia Summit has been my AIN priority atm, along with the court case. As you can see, work on GEN2 has been going well, with a name for the region and some graphics. I still haven't decided whether Cattala will be a new country, or even a replacement for Ollingdale, which would probably sink quietly away.

Cattala is much bigger than the UIO, and will be much better planned and won't have any oil, which is a big step away from where I started with journalling last year. If the reception for the Kingdom is good here, I might start another thread somewhere else detailing some information on Cattala and test the waters to see if I want to go ahead with it or just have it as a silent side project. Some of the towns are Natural Growth, others are more planned and much more constructed.

Great work! Good luck too!

Re: Author's Column · by **Thomas** 1st June 2010, 17:06

Thanks! What's your opinion on it - should I pursue Cattala joining AIN, meaning Ollingdale will slowly sink into nothing, or just continue with Ollingdale and just leave Cattala behind?

Re: Author's Column · by **Sky Guy** 1st June 2010, 19:51

Well, it sounds like Cattala would be a better planned and have some improvements.

Besides the oil thing, what are some more pros and cons? Also, would it be a similar style, or complete revamp?

Re: Author's Column · by **Thomas** 1st June 2010, 20:03

Cattala is a much bigger group of islands, and would feature several cities, with different styles.

- Seina, probably the feature city, will be natural growth from a small farming town run by a Residents Association to whatever happens in the future.
- Calora is the town you see above - that will probably be the capital, and that would be more of a look-over of a partly-grown town.
- Another town, Jennai, will be the biggest city and probably the metropolis of the country, with a CBD, major residential areas and industrial centres.
- There is also another island, which I cannot remember the name of (info is on my other pc) which would be a huge agricultural centre, with lots of irrigation canals, forests, small villages etc.
There are other islands too, that I haven't got a plot for yet.

You lost it years ago. Wink

Some great ideas there Thomas, can't wait to see this up in action - particularly Seina and Jennai

Re: Author's Column · by **Thomas** 1st June 2010, 21:54

But you didn't lose the "Worst Jokes Ever" book though did you Neil? Cheeky/Razz

I have started Seina, might put some images up tomorrow. I haven't got round to Jennai yet. Still trying to get midrise homes to grow in Calora.

Re: Author's Column · by **Neil** 1st June 2010, 21:58

No Thomas - i have just used so much of my sharp wit at work these days that i have no material left for the union.

Here's a weeker wee joke though - England

Re: Author's Column · by **Kevin** 13th June 2010, 12:58

OMG, what happened to Ollingdale's flag?

Re: Author's Column · by **Thomas** 13th June 2010, 13:07

Haha, it's not Ollingdale.

Re: Author's Column · by **Kevin** 13th June 2010, 13:11

Oh... So you're admitting another member?

Re: Author's Column · by **Thomas** 13th June 2010, 13:12

Let's just say some changes are happening in the United Islands of Ollingdale.

Re: Author's Column · by **Kevin** 13th June 2010, 13:16

Oh...

I take it this has something to do with the ONP

Re: Author's Column · by **Thomas** 13th June 2010, 13:26

Let me move this to the Ollingdale section, we're slightly off-topic. Cheeky/Razz

Re: Author's Column · by **Thomas** 13th June 2010, 13:29

Well the ONP situation will steadily get worse, and may lead to the flag change becoming more prominent in the AIN, yes.
But I'm trialling the flag to see what people think. What's your opinion?

Re: Author's Column · by Guest 13th June 2010, 13:33

Okay.
