No problem from my side. 1200x675 being the image ratio.

It is Thunderbird again.
It gives me three images now, two of them partial the third is a full image.
I like this view it shows the silt to advantage.
The paths remind me of Rune's Grass Tex.
And when are we going to get a view of the white palace or temple?

I was afraid so. Strange behaviour...

Yes, I am rather satisfied with the silt. I shall probably tweak it a 
bit more in the future, but for now it shows correctly enough for me.

Yes indeed. However it is just textures ;-)

You order; we serve.

Here is a view of the Temple Complex with the citadel in the back. I 
have started working on the Temple textures. Extremely preliminary as 
yet. Also the first stages of the sea harbour to the right where the 
former temple of Poseidon challenges the sea.

Note the crude aspect of the "faked"urbanism in close up ;-)

Nice image, although the edge between mud and water
looks rather sharp to me considering all the trouble you
went through to make a smooth media transition ;)

Correct! I have to look at this closer, but I think it is a matter or 
scaling the transition. I have to charter a boat at sea first.

I think this looks more acceptable. I scaled substantially along the 
x-axis given the size of the water sphere in the first place.

I like it but the style is so different from everything else. Those 
front towers could be from the Far East. The citadel is almost European.

Understandable. I suppose the trick is to balance resources against what 
detail is required. To model a whole city in detail would require more 
than a typical home computer.

systems.

The city being a kind of multicultural hub, architectural and cultural 
influences come from different parts of the world. The Temple complex is 
typically Indian (Nagara-style sakhara) to something more mixed 
Indian/Chinese in front. To the right, the Poseidon temple is typically 
Greek; the citadel in the back is based on a Mycenaean ground 
plan/elevation (Tiryns) and the old palace will have Cretan elements. It 
seems a bit extreme perhaps, but it shows the city as I dream it... ;-)

I am working on some alternatives. Maybe as some intermediate technique...

Drainage and water supply are still a big problem...
