This looks absolutely fantastic, the arches are perfect - there isn't much to criticize, if there's one point maybe it is that the dome above the red tower doesn't look as well defined as the rest of the buildings. But that's nitpicking!

What dome do you mean? I can change it ;)

check the new pic #1 to see if what i changed was what you meant

This is size #2. If it is kept this way it will be similar to my crusader size #2, also in the pic

And the walled city.

I hope that not only three people care about this though (i am counting myself twice)

It's the light brown dome on the right - all the towers and walls have distinct shadow and shading (darker on the left) EXCEPT this one which seems basically the same color all the way around even though they are very similar otherwise!

It has been edited since the time you mentioned it though, and is somewhat darker on the part of it that is supposed to be in the shade. + it is modelled after a golden dome, which didnt look significantly less bright on the sides

Actually I think the tower looks beter now - the whole thing is looking really good!

i am thinking of using the metropolis (post 1) as size #2, and making a bigger metro, using what i already have for size #2 and adding more stuff.

yeah, I think that would make the "metropolis" alot more credible on a map. Other than that: I've been silently following you city developments here and must say that you are really churning out some impressive high-qual work!

Ty :) However perhaps it is better to keep it as it is now, so that it will be of the same shape more or less as my crusader size #2. Afterall i intented those sets to be used together ;)
