So, the maximum explorable area should be 100x100 = 10000 square feet?
Lete me calculate that into meters:
30m x 30m = 900 sqm
maximum height - 30m too...

mmh - that sounds quite small (except for the height that is) I imagined Tsogal a bit bigger...

lol, I was measuring by cube-scaling so it should really be 120x2 (240) feet long on each side.

A newly added plane mesh is 2 x 2 units or 2 x 2 feet scaled by 100 you will have a 200 x 200 foot sized mesh in game, no height limitation and not counting skydome.

So, are we going by maximum walkable surface area (200ft x 200ft =) 40000 sq ft / 3600 sq mtr maximum, or by maximum walkable width and height?

If it's about surface area, I can also make a walkable area or 400ft x 100ft or 800 ft x 50 ft... B
ut if we go by max width/height, I'd have to do everything within the 200ft x 200ft square area...

I vote for walkable width and height. If people want to use platforms above each other then they should be able too. Btw I assume it is allowed to make vistas that are way beyong 200x200 as long as they can't be visited.

Marcello, I assume the limitations on size are for the explorable areas only. (the places you can walk along) Like say, one wanted to make a spire the size of Gahreesen's exterior surface, for an example, the explorable area would be the veranda or the top of the well, while the outside vista, since it cannot be explored, can be whatever size looks good for that "far away land" look.

It was just an easy round number that seems reasonable, it could just be as easy to have a 100' radius, that still gives you 200' diameter walking distance.
So the question to as, which I don't know, what is the definition of a "small" Age, I mean Jalak is pretty darn small, smaller than 100' I expect, so I expect that a 200' rectangle or 100' radius would work out just fine,

Comments, opinions?

And yes, you are right, the vistas would form part of the sky dome and so aren't counted

We could go either way with a 200' cube or a 100' radius sphere. I arbitrarily chose the cube when I updated the Wiki page to revise the scoring system.

[EDIT] By PM, Grogyan and I agreed to keep the 200' cube, i.e. a maximum explorable volume of 200' length, 200' width, and 200' height.
Can we rebuild it? Yes, we can - here's how.
