[COR Troop] Patrolling the Grasslands, Southern Cascadia

[Ayrlego]

Myzectlan continues to become an important Corlander settlement in the Paradise Isles. The city of the Myzec is undergoing a period of revitalisation with Corlander assistance (OOC being recently elevated to Large Town status) and the chinampas are now producing a significant amount of maize to support the other Corlander settlements of the region. Until now, not much thought has been put into it's defence, with it's location deep in a hidden valley making it very difficult to access without knowledge of the Cascadian ranges. With hostilities now commencing; however, Colonial authorities in Port Woodhouse have dispatched a troop of ETTC Lancers to Myzectlan. The Nizami lancers are considered ideal for the job, as they are able to conduct long range patrols out of Myzectlan deep into the southern grasslands of Cascadia. Here large armies would not have to struggle through the thick jungles of northern Cascadia, so it is considered vital to patrol these areas. The grasslands are unlike the rest of Cascadia; famous for waterfalls and fast flowing rivers and streams, in that they only receive water during the wet season. It is through these dry grasslands, the lancers begin their patrols.

A build to raise 30 troops in Myzectlan. I tried to be faithful to Elostirion's vision of the southern Cascadian grasslands as possible with this scene. The vulture is stolen from him and you can find instructions on his Flickr:

Also a bonus shot of the lancers for the Compendium.

Gorgeous in a stark deserty way - lots of good dry brush tones and landscape complexity. That's a cool vulture!

That is absolutely gorgeous.

That vulture is pretty bold to be so near the troops!  Great terrain and patrol.  Usually I think red is one of the least camouflaged colors but in this setting and with those dark green hats, it looks a little like the Corries were thinking ahead!

Marvelous build! Love the terrain and the color palette. The tree and vulture are a great touch!
