Hiya Jonathan,

If you don't mind my asking, why was the original deleted during moderation?

The orginal was deleted, because I was trying to sneaky.  Brickshelf
automatically deletes any file that has an .htm extension.  I've found on
most web sites that if you open a .txt file that has html tags in it, those
tags will be used on the page.  So what I did was change my .htm extension
to a .txt extension to get the same results.

This time I did away with the html page.

The numbers on the baseplate are still the height of the supports under the
baseplate.

Rivers are still two bricks deep, have 8 bumps of blue, 1 bump of yellow
plates along the banks, one bump of brown along the banks (can have green
plate on top), and two bumps of green brick on either side of the river.
The river is then place along an edge of the baseplate.  If you want to
build the entire river, which I would suggest, then ignore any restrictions
expect for where it meets the mountain and the elevation changes.

The baseplates only need a few bricks on them (along the high edges).  I
used the colors to try and give you an idea of which edge is high.  I would
suggest that you put some rocks, trees, and outcropping on these baseplates
as well.  You can even put Plaque Cows on them.  Again like the river if you
build a large section, you can ignore any restriction except where it meets
someone elses baseplate.  So Shaun to fit your Large out-cropping simply
pick a large section to build.

I will try and build the mountain.  I thought about dividing it up, but
trying to design the sections to meet is very tricky.  Is there anyway I can
get Dave's burps to make this easier?

The castle will be place on top of the mountain, hopefully 20 bricks off the
table, but maybe less after I build it.  I had orginally designed the base
to be 32x64, but after Shaun's mention of his castle I added extra space.

I still see the village with 16x16 buildings.  I know Shaun has a 48x48, but
I don't know how well the game play will be around or through that building.
I know that if we make small buildings, then we can move through alleys and
hide around more corners.

Again any thoughts for improvement.  Or are you so confused by the pictures
that you are seeing milk cows floating in front of your eyes.

For everyone's benefit, I also uploaded a bunch of pics of my various Scenery
MOCs (after moderation):

I'll enjoy them when they become public, until then could you post deep
links instead?

added.
