My first cityset (not ready yet!)...

It means good/great, right? Never heard/read it in english before, or any other language for that matter, except for croatian, serbian, slovenian, etc., I thought the term was endemous (sp?) to ex-yu territory.

No, he meant for Bryce 5... :D

(see earlier discussion)
 
Thanks! :D

Now I'm in the middle of exams and I should be learning geography, so I might not finish this as soon as I expected, but I'll probably find time to work in the evenings.
 
Hey Mirc, that looks pretty sweet. Can't wait to see some finished sets from you. :thumbsup: Dacia does deserve it's own city sets, I'm glad you've taken it on.
 
I made a (IMHO) better centerpiece:

However, when small, the shadow of the upper cone from the roof looks very strange, but I'll fix that too, somehow. :)
(again, the texture of the roof looks like that only on this size...)
 
Which would make the small version something like this:

I still don't really like the shadow of the roof, but I don't really know what I could do, I'll see...
 
Well, the first`s angle wasn`t going to stay like that, was it? If it was, then the second one is much better! Also, you made a shorter entrance-thingy (entrance! and it has no walls!) and that looks better too :)

The entrance is actually bigger now. The angle was what caused it to look that big. And I wasn't talking about the angle, I was talking about the colors, lights, and changes in the model. :) The texture for the base is different, the columns are taller, and the whole building is a little taller and a little less wide at the bottom.
 
^ Yes, it's not that noticeable, but I'm used to stare at pixels. :crazyeye:

I also finished making a wonder from the centerpiece, which is the Large Circular Sanctuary at Sarmizegetusa Regia.

A bit of history:

After the second Dacian war ended, in 106 AD, the last king of the Dacians, Decebal (Decebalus), committed suicide, rather than suffering the dishonor of being captured by the Romans after he was defeated. Until then, the capital of Dacia has been at the city of Sarmizegetusa, a very well fortified place in the Carpathian Basin.

However, when the Dacians were defeated, most of Dacia was turned into a Roman province, or actually into more than one Roman province as the region was big. Then, the capital of the Roman province "Dacia" was not used any more. Instead, the Romans hired local architects and built a new city, Sarmizegetusa Regia Ulpia Traiana being its full name.

The city became the biggest and richest in Dacia, and it contains a sacred area, with 3 sanctuaries and a lot of buildings. Only ruins remain from it today, but it has been easily located and many reconstructions, accurate enough I'd say, were made. Here are some photos from Sarmizegetusa Regia: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX.

IV, V - The Andesite Sun
IX - General View

You can see in the General view a big round thing in the bottom right corner. That's the large circular sanctuary.

So here's my wonder, The Large Circular Sanctuary from Sarmizegetusa Regia Ulpia Traiana:
