this is really epic!!!! Awesome job!!!

Coool to see how you made that build!!! It was really breathtaking for me back then (as I was a beginner), but it still has the same effect now!! Also very funny to see you only made half of the house

(everything now said is out of character) It is a really cool landscape and a very nice cart you made here!! About the story itself, you are lucky that our characters never knows what we know. So nobody knows what happened there at this moment. About how the story will go further: Scarst and his men finally saw the city of Mpya Stedor. Before the walls they noticed a dozen really big campsites, full of colourfull flags waving in the wind. Once arrived at the Main Gate, they were awaited by some soldiers and an officer. Scarst, playing it cool, said: "I am a Mitgardian trader with beer supplies, may I please pass the gates" The officer replied very formal: "Before entering the city, let me say you the laws of Mpya Stedor. (blablablabla). In these celebrating times, all guests are seen as Not Official Traders and therefore, it is forbidden for everyone to wear weapons in the city. So my soldiers will carry your gifts and tradeware inside the city and you can follow them." Scarst, panicing a bit: "What about my own guards? I don't feel safe without them! And isn't it easier to take the cart inside?" The officer laughing: "The innercity is not a parking lot. Your guards can take this beautifull cart with them and can join the parties in the Mitgardian campment outside the wall. One of my men will guide them to there. About your safety: there are enough guards patrolling the city and all other guests are unarmed as well. Lord Damaximus guaranteed everyone's safety in the city. As long as you behave yourself, you do not have to fear other people " So my friend, I hope you see in what trouble you are bringing your own character Once one of my treasury masters will see the content of the Gift, they will alarm me and the I.A.M.S. . Your character is without any guards and unarmed. It is probably better to avoid all this trouble and just give me a nice gift You got time enough to change the story and nobody will ever know note: I did not made all those laws just up to safe my butt. These are already published a long time ago Since the assassination attempt on Menshe Isra Ahr, the no-weapon rule in the city has been established.

First time I see Friends colours appearing in Kaliphlin But I really like the result!! Looking at the architecture, I would say it is one of the cities on the island of Gorr. But that would be a far place for you to search for food. So it will be probably the city of Ras-El-Akben (if it works for NM) or the city of "The Loop" (close to Ras-El-Akben, and also some vegetations as it is near a river) Also: we got eyes everywhere

Very cool big dwarf!!!

Hahahaha, I love this MOC!!! Seriously!! So many wonderfull details! Lord Damaximus will be visiting Mitgardia a lot more if they host them everytimes as good as this time! He had really a good time (even he still is convinced that you should be able to bribe the opponent their pieces to fight for you)

Welcome already to goh! First of all, using an iphone can get you very decent pictures!! Sometimes you will have to retake a picture, but generally seen, the quality is very good. Only one big tip: take the pictures in a lot of natural light!! Secondly about the guild: As you said, you don't have that many pieces yet and you are considering buying 2 chess sets. I would say Kaliphlin then. Thx to the chess sets you will have 16 foot soldiers and 4 knights fitting Kaliphlin. Also for Kaliphlin, you dont need to buy that much vegetation. And also, dark tan plates are a lot cheaoer than white ones :)

About the wiki: masa will change it soon when he discovered that the links arent easily visible anymore :) About the city: I think I kinda lost track of the direction everyone is wanting to head :p

The beret is no problem, I think I can use the Scottish hat for that The face will no problem as well (except maybe for some trouble with the drunken dwarves as I have to destroy one of them ) And I can indeed put a breastplate over the Shakespear body... Yup, I think it will work out Also, I am looking forward to the build

OOC: what my idea about this whole new city is: first we make a good name and meanwhile we already can let our fantasy work and name some buildings we certainly have to put in the city (like a toll gate, some inns, market, ...). If we found a name, I will create a topic for it. The first community thing then is to create a map of the city. It would be cool if some of us work on that individually and then (after a month or so) we can vote for what map is the best and will be the official map of the city. This can be done in LDD, hand drawings, or even real designing programs (or combine them all ) After that, we can start building It will be indeed a mix of the Walls of Valholl and the Albion thing. For the name: do we choose an historical name (like for example Narrowgate as the path was a very narrow gate to Kaliphlin back in the days), or will we really construct a completely new city (where we can call it Dextrusfort or Kathryn or...). This choice is very important as it will result in different building styles. An old name will result in an older buildings. While a new city will result in brand new buildings without many shades (so no Avalonian buildingtechniques).

Or Narrowgate (as it is a narrow way that leads to the big gate ) Toril's gate sounds Mitgardian

I don't really like making threads just for text :D Also, considering it is an interguild happening, I thought this was a good place Sir Gideon himself should be in the list as well (looks like I forgot to place his name ). Anyway, he has the only elf-hair piece I got Only his bodywear is a bit different, but the rest should be right A few other Kaliphlinites arrived at Mpya Stedor: Sir Kcaj Nosnikta (CptMugwash) Amelia Phantomhive (Erynlasgalen) Lord Erudhalion of Berigora (Gabe) Lord Shale (Scubacarrot) Sir Gideon (Gideon) (@Scarst, I did not forgot you, but I am still struggling with the parts for your character )

Nestlands in the North? Only Everlast is in the north (the base of the I.A.M.S.) The Nestlands are in fact far in the South, not far away from Mpya Stedor Indeed a very fortificated top! Really difficult to take-in coming by the North as the soldiers would have to climb up the road before they could reach the gates Luckily for the traders, they are free to pass (after paying some toll ) the gate. And indeed, once they passed it, they enter a beautifull city, full of merchants. Ofcourse those Inns are famous allover Historica, as it one of the only decent stopping places to rest and recover from the journey! On the highest point, there is a big watchtower watching over the North (shall we use the tower of CptMugwash for this, or will his tower be one of the many towers in the city? ) I can't remember the name anymore neither, I think it was something like Espoort (poort is 'Dutch' for 'Gate' Robuko , problem is we do already have Eastgate in the West ), but that is just what I remember, what name do you guys remember?

New City? by Da_Maximus, on Flickr The bright red dot It will be between Queenscross and Everlast (indicated with a myserious '?' ) As far as I know, no one claimed that spot (except for that watchtower ofcourse), so we can come up with a nice name, work out the plans and so on It will be a flourishing city for sure as that traderoute is one of the most important ones between Kaliphlin, Nocturnus and Mitgardia

Stupid bandits! I am glad you are chasing them away Djun! my brothers (& sister) of Kaliphlin, after looking to our map, I noticed we got a weak spot in our natural defensive line the Arkbri River & The Great Escarpment) :) There is a traderoute between Queenscross and Everlast (the Rakath Mountains) that has no city or fortification yet (only this watchtower by Cpt Mugwash). Siccus Badlands (Kaliphlin Guildlands) by nice.marmot, on Flickr (note, I do own a map where almost every Kaliphlin city is located, but that is propierty of the I.A.M.S. and it would not be wise to share it with other Guilds ) So why aren't we constructing a whole new city there with decent fortifications? (as Kaliphlin Community build)

Well, that's a very nice wall & tower & landscaping & minifig combinations & ... .Oh well, everything really looks cool

I always like how you make those magical effects!! Also a very great fire pit and a lot of good action in this MOC!!

Happy bday Soccerkid!!

Everyone is invited, don't worry The problem is that it is really difficult to find back a character or a member sometimes I gonna look if I find his parts in my collections. I hope I do because that is a very popular face your sigfig has!

I hope so, otherwise I will have tortured my army for nothing (beheading, cutting of arms, legs, hands, hair, ...) Anyway, it was time to make a re-organisation of my army anyway I ordered 100 long shields and I will probably customise them

Lord Max Samu may takes this as a comment I suppose Anyway, did I missed something about sandstorms? *MPYa StEdor (I admit, it is a difficult name ) Anyway, congratz Kai for having post number 2500 in the Kaliphlin topic!!!!

Same here, time to sleep for us I think

By stating: "I am not wanting this happening soon", I am helping you guys, am I not?

Yeah it will be fun again for me to completely re-organise this and make it uptodate with the necessary emotions ofcourse (as in: oh, what do we have changed )

Ooooooh megablocks, I hoped everyone had forgotten this guide I think that would be no problem. I can't find any information about the city (even not in the Mitgardian topic), so I guess it is still vacant (please can another Mitgardian approve this? ) Oh, this reminds me that I still have a lot of work to do on this guide . Honestley I hoped that the Wikia would make this useless, but maybe it is best to have both
