Sounds like a nice challenge to me. I hope to get all entries, but it is going to be a busy time for me the next few weeks unfortunately. Let's see how many entries I can make.

Sounds like a lot of points. In the first LC we got 2 points for entering, but I guess the KC is ok with 14? I think I remember that each faction can make LCs for 4 points each month, if that is correct, does this mean that we cannot have a LC for the next 3 months? I also think that the nature of a LC should be smaller than GCs, to keep the GC as "the big thing". But that's just my thoughts. Besides that, I think the theme of the LC is great. Good points Ben and very valid. However, the good news is this isn't a normal LC so we won't have to wait 3 months for the next one since we are: A) Making up for past months being missed for LC's B) Attempting to encourage more involvement in LC's C) This is a rare and special LC that involves our Capital with three divisional categories that will not normally appear in an LC since they are often single build entries and... D) Instead of having prizes like in a GC, we are offering special bonus points to support building while the next GC remains in development stages...which should be a more early to mid Summer aspect. After all GC's take more resources to make happen and involve often prizes/increased points...story building scenes, etc. Further, I realized I need to change the date. It should be a month and a half actually for this one.

Ok, well, Either way, I need to make some builds. I plan to have Hamilton buried before we march on Daluthma (?) and then lead up to it, I'll probably release my builds near the date...
Ok, I cannot get the Banners to work! Can somebody help me out?

Ok, I cannot get the Banners to work! Can somebody help me out? Here's a response that Jimmy had made and seems to work (I believe it was on page 6 or 7 of this thread): You don't upload but use bulletin board code to tell your signature where to look for the image For example, code for a freeman banner is (replace the curly brackets at each end with square brackets) {img]http://www.roawia.byethost7.com/files/?file=Titles-Banners/Loreos/Loreos-04-Freeman.png[/img} I personally find the banners display a little too big on my screen, so to reduce it to 3/4 size (like mine) you can modify the code to: {img width="198" height="52"] "http://www.roawia.byethost7.com/files/?file=Titles-Banners/Loreos/Loreos-04-Freeman.png" [/img} Read more: merlins-beard.com/thread/34/loreos-official-faction-thread?page=7#ixzz31X1TKQlH

starconyx4 Don't use {}, use [], Matt can't show that as it thinks there's an image there.

Sounds about right. Either way he could read Jimmy's full response on Page 7 by clicking the link the copy and paste attaches.

Quick question, is there access to the capital from the mainland, because it seems like, (at least from the LC16 description), that all the capital's structures were water-based.

OH! I get it now! Lol, thanks guys for clarifying Quick question: Does Dalmal- Dalman- The Capitol have an official cemetery or something? I was planning to ship Hamilton Back home, but the call of duty (God I hate that game ) has forced me to send James to Dal- The Capitol to liberate it. So, I plan to bury him around the area, but if we have a cemetery, why not place him there? Ok, well, third edit, but whatever James Hamilton CIC von Starconyx4 auf Flickr My CIC for James. His story is in the tread or on flickr

The Capital is mostly land based with large Urban walls around it and land based Gates as well. The builds do not have to be water based...however some water based entries would be neat to see considering the City is seperated in two by the River and built with a large enclosed harbour.

Hey, um, just another question:
If there isn't a cemetery sort of thing in Dalma- The Capitol, would I be able to create one? Like, could I add it into the city as a pre-existing structure?

You certainly could. In most classical Cities and Medieval Cities though the cemetery and tombs were often found outside of the City Walls. Usually you would find mixed with the regular graves Tombs and other sorts of structures.

starconyx4 ...or you could have a crypt under the city itself, containing tombs and statues of royalty/nobles.

This looks awesome, more siege warfare coming up it seems! I'm even more thrilled at seeing all the great depictions of Dalmanutha this LC will generate Is there any minimum size limit for the Unrestricted category? I'm planning to build the lighthouse/Breaker Fort (if it's ok?) I'm thiking of building it in such a way that it can be disassembled into transportable sections which will fit in my luggage when travelling over the pond to Brickworld Chicago in June. (Anyone else going there btw?) If there is a minimum size limit it's not too hard to build some water around the lighthouse or enter it as the restricted entry however

Gideon I don't believe there's a size limit, so go ahead! By the sounds of things, you could be racking up a few more points over the next couple of months....

Matt Ok, You do know more about this stuff than I do. Thanks! Ieuan That's a good Idea! I might try that out! I could Have them enter through the Crypt, Give Hamilton his ceremony, then use it as a way to get through the city undetected! Thanks a ton guys! Because I don't want to be that guy who double posts... LoR A Harsh Reality von Starconyx4 auf Flickr Latest installment in this story that I am calling The Decent to Madness
It will focus on James' struggling to cope with Hamilton's death, and I think that it's one of the best story type things I've writte so far, so be sure to check it out! the story is on my flickr page
