Darnok Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) The most dynamic settlement in the East Prio Sea, Mesabi Landing naturally attracts a lot of different traders. As a result, its market place in the middle of the city is always busy. Two traders came from Eslando, who also had the biggest booths. One of them sold fine cloth from Augustinian Colonial Textiles in Weelond, where price negotiations between a young lady and the shop owner were heated, while her son mustered some fabric in fine Corrish Red: Another trader came from Fuerte Unido on nearby Isla de Victoria, selling fruits and vegetables from a farm there. He had a lot to offer, from lettuce and different beets to tomatoes,carrots and pumkins to apples and even lemons local to the island. A customer asked for some mroe apples - apparently for a recipe called "Applebread" he had read about recently: Speaking of recipes, the latest issue of "WTC Monthly" was of course on sale, attracting even young readery: An Oleander trader sold hats, which cheered up an elderly local for some reason: A fisherman had a variety of fresh fish and crabs on offer, while on the other end of the market Joe, innkeeper of the "Blue Dragon", sold some refreshing applecider: Two WTC Marines stood near Joe, were also some sausages were on sale, and had a chat over drink and food. "Man, this drink is alright, but I want my rum back." ... "Aye. But don't say 'at too loudly. This sausage though... is it pork? Damn, I prefer me some good ol' horse meat. And my hands are all greasy now... somebody should do something about this!" ========================================================================================== Licensed as a medium commerce property for Mesabi Landing. More pictures: Spoiler The build was fun, especially because of all the little stories it tells. There is more, but that is reserved for another day... C&C appreciated, as always!

LM71Blackbird Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Nicely built busy marketplace Drunknok! Quote
Bregir Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Very nice and lively market scene, Drunknok. The different stalls are great, and I like the variation in wares offered and the ties to existing builds. The pictures are loading very slow, though. Are they very large and where do you host them? I believe the rules for EB is 800X600 max. Might just be the hosting site and the WiFi here. Quote

Might just be the hosting site and the WiFi here. I noticed the same with a lot of my threads. I do host my pictures on Imgur, and resize them via EB. One problem might be that the original (big) image file is loaded. I will experiment with this in the future. 2 hours ago, Professor Thaum said: Really nice, I like it ! the cider pump is well thought !! Thanks. The cider stand was the first build done, it kind of developed from there. 52 minutes ago, Roadmonkeytj said: A nice market square indeed...
