976: It's not a dep... I'll run Lanaya and Rhodes independently but both of them.

What? Both? I think you have one more, werent you?

Okay then Julien, I'll change that one for you.
As soon as you have at least 3 more pictures, this can go to voting.

Of course it can be a AIN member, it is beautiful!(My opinion) But Blake you have only 4 images. LOL

These are the 3 more pics More infos to be added soon! :cheers:

As soon as you want this to be put to vote, I'll do it.

Not now porfavor TY!

It all looks too similar in my opinion... It's like it's just a giant blob of those orange roofed buildings.

It's nearly like Lanaya IMHO. Later I might have similarity between ERC and SL.

One thing I would suggest is, looking on Google, Rhodes is much more mountainous than you have here - I know it's quite hard to build things on hilly terrain, but it would be much more realistic to the location. Plus I'm sure you could include some more modern buildings, such as those shown here in the village of Lindos. Looking at some of the information of Rhodes Island, there is quite a variety of architecture, not just the traditional Mediterranean townhouse/apartment style you have here - there are a lot of whitewashed villas and things.

I know, thanks guys What I showed was only the old town of Rhodes City. More is comming soon without those roofs that you hate 976 for some reason and personnally, how could this looks like Lanaya?




Thomas:
Yeah, but I showed only old town of Rhodes City. Thanks for your suggestion!

Okay, it far with Lanaya. Neat!
