[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;34881080]Suggestion for Lore-friendlyness, not originally mine: let's make it so somehow Luftahraan's government (not going into how it should be) fucked up with both the Empire and Nords, but fucked up so badly they won't even acknowledge its existance.

For that, though, we'd need to redesign the docks and add more infrastructure for bigger ships (also more ships)[/QUOTE]
How about this for a militia: everyone in town has a decent set of armor, weapon, and fighting skill. When shit hits the fan, everyone pulls out a weapon and starts hitting things.

Well, it's got slaves working down in the mines - maybe it could be a halfway point for slaver ships going around the North coast? That'd be lore friendly, and a good reason for the other people of Skyrim not to acknowledge the city.
The town guard could consist partly of pirates.
Also, it would explain a larger-than-average beastfolk presence.

That sounds pretty cool, unlike in cities where everyone just flees or attempts to punch you.
I guess it would make sense to have pirates as part of the town guard. If it's a pirate/slaver haven they'd be willing to defend it.
Also, since Luftahraan is a sovereign state, the leader should be called the Sovereign. It sounds better than Leader, and makes much more sense than Jarl.

It'd be pretty badass if the town had a Captain, [i]if[/i] it's gonna have a naval history. Maybe the keep could be a beached ship?

Hm, I really disliked the ships in Skyrim, and making a sufficiently cool keep that was a ship would be an interesting challenge. Not really disliked, but just didn't enjoy being in them.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;34881350]This would fucking own, but to make it cool we'd need a custom model of a [I]massive[/I] ship[/QUOTE]
Well, could be a wooden keep built up [i]around[/i] a ship
hold on, I'll see if I can put together a mock-up
I don't have the project atm, which cell is the city normally centered on?

There could be larger port south side of the 2nd island.
Something like Dunbarrow Cove from oblivion?
Well the leader could have alliance and contract with pirates.
And pirates have small base on another isle near Luftahraan?

(I hate my asspie voice >:c)
If I can get my mic to work I'd be willing to do some PIRATE voices.
I have an idea. You know the suggestion about the jarl being evil and bloodthirsty? What if, once he is exposed, he gets executed and they pick a new Jarl with an election. Based on how popular you are in the town, doing deeds for or against certain parties, they will vote for you or another person. Some of the quests help certain people at the expense of others, so if you want to become the jarl it puts a certain moral dilema in the decisions of who you aid: The influential thalmor, or the desperate beggar
Holy crap you guys are making some awesome stuff. Keep up the good work fp! :)
What jarl? Luftahraan has no jarl :v:

I wish I could help out in some way but I have no imagination/talent/suck at modding in general
Should i add TO DO list to the OP?

Does luftahraan have map markers yet?
if anyone wants an orc or something:

i'm your man
I threw it together carelessly just to show the concept. Possible beached-ship keep? Obviously need a tower-like building at either side to support the ends of the ship

(note: that is the standard size of the ship.)
Needs more palisade and shacks.

Lets make island near Lufahraan for pirates.
You guys should have the city guard say "One does not simply walk into Lufahraan"
so i'm guessing this is some kind of backwater pirate town then?
pretty fitting for facepunch imo
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;34881350]This would fucking own, but to make it cool we'd need a custom model of a [I]massive[/I] ship[/QUOTE]
Why a custom model? There is already a ship model and it's perfect for our needs.
[QUOTE=Mon;34881866]so i'm guessing this is some kind of backwater pirate town then?

Some kind of free city with own leader and pirate ally.
[QUOTE=Lick;34881874]Why a custom model? There is already a ship model and it's perfect for our needs.[/QUOTE]
or use [sp]The Emperor's Ship[/sp] since it looks more like an average ship.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;34881102]Gonna edit a bit, real fast[/QUOTE]
Are you currently done editing?
I got the worst timing, whenever the updated file is up for download I'm always doing something else when someone else calls dibs. :v:
Hes still editing.
Im going to have to read up on how to make houses and stuff in skyrim before I take a turn at adding to the city/outskirts.
