By the Foot of the Volcano

If location is everything in real estate, this Sanctuary town would cost a bundle ...

It lies by the foot of a dormant volcano, almost camouflaged by its mountainous surroundings, and with a beautiful waterfall feeding its water supply. A garrisoned gate guards the secluded area.

Still looks too much like someone stuck a roof on top of a fountain...

Considering the nature of the town, that's how it should appear, IMO.

I particularly like the fact that they seem to have been able to merge beautiful landscape with functional gameplay. The mines, the paths, the towns all look very well integrated.

@Kalah: Totally agreed. They did an extremely good job of creating the landscapes. I believe Marzhin has substantial input in that regard.

Now all I look forward to visually is new models and names for certain Sanctuary creatures

Other than that, I hope they make good use of the time ahead to improve the AI and faction balance further, not that I have any info they're poor...

I didn't have much to do in that particular regard beyond giving a general artistic direction for the maps. The landscape artists at BH were already really good

It looks too much like it's part of teh background, the idea behind it is fine, but needs to look more like a town... a few small asian pillars around it, like SO (but smaller) or a small fence would do wonders.
