With the new urbanism macro in place, here is a state of the art view of 
the old city behind the harbour of Gancaloon.

It is looking good, especially for an "old" town. ;-)

BTW How should we pronounce Gancaloon?

I am well satisfied by the result indeed. 2300 houses were built in 
record time and shelter now a large part of the citizen. I shall add 
some palm trees here and there.

According to my /historical overview/ ;-)  the pronunciation should be:

The name and pronunciation of the city was originally /Gang-alone/ but 
influence of foreign traders changed the pronunciation into /Gang-kaloon/.
[/quote]

It is looking organic, the way an old town should be.

Thank you, I prefer the olden one. It is almost "gang a' lane" which is 
Scots for walk or travel by yourself.

So I might "gang alane tae Gancaloon". ;-)

Wonderful work again. Only one remark. The city wall is not surrounding the city
completely which is a bit unusaul IMO. What is this structure to the right?
There seems to be a citadel to the upper left, a temple straight ahead but I
have no idea for the structure at the upper right.

Best regards,
Michael

Hi Thomas,

Very impressive, are all the buildings generated by the macro or just the main
town buildings (I mean not the ones in the harbour).

Also, is the wall part of the macro?

Do all your close up scenes I have seen posted use this macro as well?

Sean

contacted by Ubisoft soon for royalties... :)
