I like it! Nice work

Someone did a moc a while back for an AMRCA where they landed on a whale that they thought was an island. I think it was more comical than scientifically-accurate, but it was pretty funny.

I learned a new thing today! That said, I think orchards wouldn't count towards a monopoly. Cider is the main product made from apples. Apple wine (he quickly Googles) requires more sugar. Might be why you like it more. You've got a sweet tooth!

What's the deal with politics between the Lotus Kingdom and Corrington right now? I'd imagine they would be dealing with quite a bit of persecution.

As recent history has proved, I may not be the best person to go to on advice around "pushing your luck", but I'd be tempted to see if you can license this as a small plantation. That's roughly 32×32, right?

I figured troops came in through the breaches, then refugees fled out. On it!

A really nice build, all told. I think we need more stories like this.

Yeah, I'm inclined to think the same. Ah well, it was worth experimenting. The curves are good to help you build a circle, but after that they should probably be removed.

Great work all round. Nicely done!

I was trying to copy the Moon Lander crater design: That said, I think it might've worked better if I'd sunk it below the level of the grass. Ah well. @Kwatchi @Ayrlego @caiman0637Thanks guys!

Edited, moved to Court for discussion.

I think you misunderstood the treaty. The Quiver was not mentioned in the final treaty document. Only the discussions beforehand. A number of other (sometimes contradictory) positions were also mentioned in those discussions. This discussion is not binding. I'm happy to take this to the court if you want, but, as I pointed out earlier,

"Who goes there?" asked the guard, as a column of armoured men approached his position. "The Knights of Hades, Terraversa Chapter," replied the stern-looking priest astride the lead horse. "And... err... What are the Knights of Hades (Terraversa Chapter) doing this early in the morning?" he asked, increasingly unsure of himself. He was new to the job, and it was late in his shift. "We are decamping to Nola Mar, in search of more civilised government." "And... err... what's in the chest?" he asked, sheepishly. At this stage the column had reached his position, and he had to quickly step aside to avoid being trampled. "That is for the gods to know," the priest smiled as he passed. The Quiver of Artemis would soon be back on safe ground. A replica sat in its place, and the deception would likely never be discovered. Oleon's gamble with this island had failed, but that was no reason to leave a relic of the gods to those money-grabbing Eslandolans. By the time anyone had the nous to chase after them, the Knights Treasurer would be beyond the borders of this rump state.

A really lovely build. Nice cliffs, great vegetation, and I love the puffins!

I reckon there's a few parts in Speedy Gonzales that could be useful. And maybe Daffy's legs?

So, what parts from the new CMF series do you see yourself using with your BoBS builds?

So that's what it is! *Heads to Bricklink*. A really lovely build all in all. What a collection to own.

@Professor Thaum did something similar with a speeder bike. Worked really well.

I know that pain!

I reckon we need to get you signed up as a member of the Knights Treasurer.

I honestly think those broken windows worked really well. Although perhaps a tower this fragile should be a lighthouse, rather than a fortification.

@Ayrlego part of me really wants to overhaul the entire guide. But another part of me knows that I'm far too busy. Sorry.

When all this is over, someone is going to have to update Farstrider's Guide to Halos...

Thanks guys!
