kabel Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) They say that there's only snow in the North ... They say that Mitgardia is barren ... They say that Migardia has got to be the most boring part of Historica ... Well, obviously they have never ventured beyond the limits of their home villiage! Therefore I announce the: Landscapes of Mitgardia Community Build Task: - Build a typical landscape that can be found in Mitgardia using a, at the max., 32*32 baseplate, or an irragular base of similar size. - You are to pick one of the large regions mentioned in the Mitgardia introduction thread (Frozen Beyond, Mountains, Tundra etc. ...) and show that Mitgardia is a country of natural beauty and diversity unmachted by any of the other three regions found on Historica. Avalonia has got ... grass Kaliphlin has got ... sand Nocturnus has got ... swamps We've got: temperate rainforest, old growth oak forest, pine forest, birch forest, tundra, lakes, mountain meadows, mountain peaks, glacial valleys, fjords, fjell, caves ... you name it! Also think of possible animals that could inhabit these landscapes (mammoths, moose, bears, saber cats. yetis etc.) Award: This is not a challange but a community build! This means it's an ongoing project in which you are to build for the glory of Mitgardia and not for personal gain. However, the best Mocs will be added to the Mitgardian frontpage where they will eventually replace the pictures that you can currently find there! Participation: As the title already says, this is a community build for Mitgardia. So in order to participate you need to sign up for Mitgardia and swear your loyalty to the Northern Guild. Member of other guild may participate but their free build points will be scored for Mitgardia. Regions: The Frozen Beyound Purr - Wolf in the Frozen Beyound: The Clan Lands Soccerkid - Spearfishing in the Clan Lands: Ecclesiastes - The Spine Tree Forest: The Heavenly Mountains Aurore - The Spirit of the Standing Stone The Tundra Hench - The Wolf Basin: Infernum - The Tundra: The Demon's rigde kabel - Demon's rigde Hot Springs: Bkrosell - Mitgardian River: mkjosha - The Standard: Mr. Breden - The Devils Ridge: kabel - rapids of no return: The Cold East Coast The Temperate West Coast Eoin Wallace - A Betrayal in the Woods The plains of Valholl Soccerkid - Mitgardian Hunters ... So go ahead, be creative and show all those defamers what Mitgardia really looks like! Post questions and the best pic of you moc here! Discuss your respective mocs in single threads!

soccerkid6 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Great community build kabel We definitely need to show more of Mitgardia's landscape Quote
Derfel Cadarn Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Sounds like a good community build for Mitgardia! It's true, there's a lot of scope for different landscapes all with an icy twist. If you look at the game Skyrim, it's a snow theme but has many non-showy parts that still manage to feel that they are still part of a snowy land. I think you could pull of a green area in Mitgardia well if you made it coniferous and made the water look cold and icy. It's finding that line between looking too much like Avalonia and that feeling your still in Mitgardia. Quote
kabel Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) That's why I always include coniferous trees in my mocs, but there is even more ... Those familiar with the Northamerican Pacific Northwest will know that there are temperate rainforests all the way up into Alaska, a biom that once existed in Norway as well. It's development was caused by the warm currents that stream North along the West Coast of the continents. On the other hand, the East Coasts of the continents are much more frigid.

Infernum Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Great community build! Can't wait to expand upon Mitgardia! Quote
Gideon Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Looking forward to seeing the MOCs coming out of this! As a sub-arctic dweller in the real world I can testify that even above the arctic circle there can be a lot of green, just not for a very long time of the year Quote
Yooha Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 That's a wonderful idea! I start designing and "building" as soon as my computer will be ready. Quote
Duvors Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Avalonia has got... Grassland, Boreal Forests, Pine Forests, Oak Forests, Wetlands, Mountains, Highlands, Islands, Rivers, Lakes, Marshes, and Caves. Khaliphlin has got... Deserts, Mountains, Jungles, Swamps, Islands, Bamboo Forests, Boreal Forests, Rivers, Cliffs, Caves, Volcanoes, Valleys, and Hot Springs. Nocturnus has got... Swamps, Marshes, Wetlands, Mountains, Flatlands, Forests, Jungles, Badlands, Volcanoes, Caves, Hot Springs, Islands, Cliffs, Rivers, Lakes, Highlands, Mudflats, Lava Rivers, Valleys, Deserts, Savana, and Fire Swamps. I think your evaluation is a little biased and unfair to speak the truth. Quote
kabel Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 Do I need to be fair in order to root for Mitgardia? Quote
Infernum Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Yeah! It's not biased, just Mitgardian, and this just so happens to be a Mitgardian community build. Quote
Duvors Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Yeah! It's not biased, just Mitgardian, and this just so happens to be a Mitgardian community build. Wether it is bias or not depends on wether you are Mitgardian or not. Edited September 22, 2013 by Lord Duvors Quote
