VENTISERI. Update 26 Mar.

[ecoba]

Well, it's now been well over a month since my last update, and I feel that I should explain.


I have recently lost all interest in this version of Queenstown, for some reason, it really just is not working for me.    However, I have several ideas for new MDs, and I would definitely like to continue MDing on this site. 

So my question for all of you is, whether or not I should continue my MD in this thread. I feel that this thread has become very cluttered, with all my different experiments and projects, and that it may just be time for me to start clean with a new thread, after retiring this one to the archives. It would probably be a few weeks before I could get any update out of these new projects, as I would like to clean up my plugins a little bit, and I haven't even downloaded the new NAM yet... 

So if all of you could just tell me what you think would be best, that would be great ! 


Take care,

Ethan

Hey Ethan,
This is what I think and what I tell everyone else when this sort of circumstance comes up.
I would continue the MD, you have already put so much work into this one and have a great group of followers.  You have made your way to the Best Sellers section with 261 replies now and over 9527 views, why put all that to waste by letting this MD go to the Archive section where very few members visit.  I would suggest that you make a table of contents in your first post, possible linking all your updates with some sort of title.  I can give you a nice code to make a nice ToC if you would like.  We can continue this conversation in your MD so everyone can learn this or we can continue in PMs, which ever you would like.

[tabular type=2]
[row][head]Title[/head][head]page and link[/head][/row]
[row][data]Terraforming[/data][data]1[/data][/row]
[row][data]The Ocean[/data][data]2[/data][/row]
[/tabular]

The above is just a basic example.  We can change it just about however you would like.  I also didn't link anything.

I do like that idea, Robin. Perhaps just starting with a new page would work as well as starting a new MD ? Perhaps these posts on this page could be deleted and I would edit my top post accordingly when I was able to prepare the update?

I would love to see the coding for creating a table of contents ! Would be benificial to know in the future as well. I guess we could continue this here for now and then delete until post 260 accordingly, maybe? 

Maybe we could temporarily lock it for a few weeks while I get everything back up and running again as well ?

Sorry for the double post.


Anyway, in about a week or so you will hopefully see some more updates from me. If you remember a little glimpse of Ventiseri from quite a while back, well that is now a full blown-out CJ, and to be posted here. This post will be edited to be the introduction post, so a little bit longer and then I'll hope to be back in full swing (no matter how slow that is...  )

Hi Ethan!!! I agree with the comment made by Robin! In my opinion it would be the best alternative!

[ecoba]

Ventiseri (Grecco: ßεντισέρι; Ventèr: Vintisari), officially the Principality of Ventiseri (Grecco: Πριgιπάτας τςςι ßεντισέρι; Ventèr: Prinċipatu da Vintisari) is a small country in southwestern Atlantica Alba, on the northeastern end of the Alban Peninsula.  Ventiseri has land borders with Murcia to the south, Movia to the west, and Demetae to the north and east. Over eighty-five per-cent of Ventiseri consists of mountains, of which Mount Parahelia is the highest, at 4,317 m (14,163 ft).

Modern Ventiseri traces its roots to the ancient Greccoian civilisations, and therefore has historical ties with many other nations in the region. Although, mainly because of its size and vulnerability, Ventiseri has long been dominated by foreign powers. Through much of its post-Roman history, Ventiseri was fragmented into numerous kingdoms and city-states, yet was unified in the 19th century.

Ventiseri is one of the few modern nations that still follows a polytheistic religion, with the majority of the population being Grecco polytheists. Ventiseri has recently been featured in many luxury travel magazines such as Condé Nast Traveller, National Geographic, and Travel + Leisure. Ventiseri is also one of the most expensive countries to live in.

Here's just a few shots of rural Ventiseri, hopefully I'll be back with more soon !

[kelis]

[peter007]

Very Nice

[Sciurus]

It's excellent, but I find it a bit too "nordic" to be in the south of Europe

A great fresh start, with a country that is being made up in your own mind. I always like these kind of ideas and to see what the different MD makers come up with.

[nedalezz]

Well your teaser shots are amazing!

I, like everyone else who reads this MD, cannot WAIT for the first update

Im sure you've got something wonderful in store for us!

[Tomas Neto]

A read through a part of your entrys and really enjoied viewing the pics, in your last update I especially liked the last picture with all that amazeing detailing!

[ecoba]

Well, after quite a break, I have a new update for Ventiseri (finally! ). I hope you all will enjoy it.



Today we focus on a small river near the centre of Ventiseri; the Sieve.







This will part of my new take on the MD, being more like a trip through villages and rural areas, finishing in Ventiseri's capital city, Vorgia, which will be quite a task to complete. I hope you all like it.

RickdD: Thank you, Raphael !

kelis: Thanks a lot, my friend ! I'm glad you enjoy it.

peter007: Thank you !

Sciurus: Thank you very much, Guillaume ! How do you think about it is "nordic"; also remind to you that Ventiseri is at a very high elevation (or it oculd just be my photoshopping :p)

kwakelaar: Thank you a lot, Gjermund ! I also very much like "countries" within the game.

nedalezz: Thank you so very much, Nedal ! I hope you will enjoy this update as much as you did the last.

Tomas Neto: Thank you, Tomas ! Your comments always make me smile.

Yan077: Thank you, Yan !

marsh: Thanks !

art128: Thanks many, Arthur ! Thank you for both your compliments of the game pictures and the introduction picture

Skimbo: Thank you so much!
