Today I started on the first Age that I can realistically call my own. It's hard to know, in the absence of more complete reference material, what may be varied and what may not. I am quite pleased with the stone. The soil blending was problematical as before, but this time the grass has come up strong and green.
My main problems have come with trying to vary the sky, which has produced some very strange effects, and with trying to add an ocean. Whatever I do, the "water" appears black and seems to absorb all light. I have not ventured into it, but I doubt it would bear my weight, and certainly it cannot be drinkable.
I shall keep trying with the sky, and I am fairly confident I shall get it right eventually, but I may have to ask for help with the sea.
