Lumière: Difference between revisions

The territory of Lumière is located around the city of [[New Amsterdam]], an area filled with multiple different biomes, including badlands, beaches, forests and savannas. Lumière's land encompasses a very similar area to the province of Isi of the [[Grand Imperium]].

 

 

Lumière was originally planned to be a county within the [[Lusitania|Kingdom of Lusitania]]<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/742831212711772261/742932187418066945/813061685769797692|text=maybe when i build the Lusitan Library it'll be in my very own county|date=February 21, 2021|access-date=June 6, 2021|channel=off-topic|server=Mount September}}</ref>, with its main attraction being an enormous library and beaux-arts style builds<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/742831212711772261/742930929881710622/828724636770238505|text=I wanna build this with some slight modifications to the design|date=April 5, 2021|access-date=June 6, 2021|channel=nomic|server=Mount September}}</ref>, likely being put within the old county of [[Tungsten]] due to the large amount of unused land it possessed; the county would have been headed by [[AmandaCC]].<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/423643137546780674/815643246771830815|text=I was thinking of making [a county] in Tungsten due to the open space available there|date=February 28, 2021|access-date=June 6, 2021|channel=citizens|server=Lusitania}}</ref>

 

Thus, it was decided that the claim needed to change locations to a flatter area, and the area New Amsterdam was quickly spotted due to it's flatness both in it's very tall badlands biomes and central beach.<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/422250595911729155/830128334288977921|text=honestly I can [build] to the east of this area, including the part [attached] to the mainland that's also really flat|date=April 9, 2021|access-date=June 6, 2021|channel=general|server=Lusitania}}</ref> A proposition made was that [[New Amsterdam]] would be renovated before expanding the city outwards, since it seemed easier than building a city from scratch<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=AmandaCC|sender=Detective Amanda CC|url=https://discord.com/channels/422250595911729153/422250595911729155/830165028396990464|text=I feel like renovating and expanding a small town is more realistic than building a huge build in a OMN that just started|date=April 9, 2021|access-date=June 6, 2021|channel=general|server=Lusitania}}</ref>.

Prior to any official announcement, some farms were renovated on the would-be claims of Lumière to start working towards XP production, a storage bunker was partially built, and ideas on how to organize the city of Lutèce were discussed thoroughly, including the style it would be built it and the arrangement of the roads.

 

The territory Lumière was first publicly claimed on June 4th 2021 on reddit. The claims were announced earlier than was planned, with AmandaCC stating "In short, this is a claim to avoid other people claiming this area, but we'll start building a proper city very soon!"<ref name=":1" />
