[[File:King Peter's Square.png|left|thumb|600x600px|King Peter's Square, the never-built central plaza of Samcester. Note the angled walls.]]The basic design was finished in early August, but CivClassic was winding down by 2021, and Southshire could not provide the labour force to actually realise such an ambitious project. Only the foundations of Samcester Parliament were ever completed. By November, RoboRik was pivoting towards smaller-scale redevelopment in the existing capital, [[Southshire#City of Southend|Southend]]. He proposed a reconstruction of the abandoned [[Southshire#The Dark Forest Estates|Dark Oak Estates]], and planned a new square in the north-east of the city, with a museum and a railway terminal. The architectural vocabulary was once again rooted in England, this time borrowing the elegant [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_architecture Georgian style] of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath,_Somerset Bath]. Construction began on December 1st after a month of preparation. Togeter with [[Orinnari]], RoboRik flattened the northern embankment and cleared most of the Estates - but the enterprise was cut short just one week later, when [[TealNerd]] unexpectedly announced the closure of the server.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/rc370p/through_the_roof_n_underground/</ref> The map of [[CivLegacy]] seems to have been taken half-way through the works: while the levee is scarred, the Estates themselves are largely unmolested.[[File:Dark Oak Estates.png|thumb|If rebuilt, the Dark Oak Estates would have hadfeatured aan largeimposing, neoclassical gate.]]

''Chāntli'' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahuatl Nahuatl] for 'house' or 'dwelling') is a large [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Empire_style#Architecture Second Empire] villatown inhouse, commissioned by [[WackyAki]] as his [[Icenia#Internal Districts of Icenia|Icenia CityIcenian]] residence. The design blends influences from both the American and the French variants of the style. It was commissioned by [[WackyAki]],Surrounding the reigning [[Yoahtl#Alcuahtl|Alcuahtl]] of Yoahtl, to serve as his Icenian residence. The villamansion is surrounded by a small, landscaped park, with a duck pond and twohand-sculpted trees.

The interior of ''Chāntli'' is more utilitarian than most RoboRik buildsusual, but still reflects hisa commitment to realism. The vaulted souterrain would have beenis the domain of the servant staff, with a kitchen, storage areas, etand ceteraa spartan dormitory. The ground floor hasis largely minor rooms for the private use of the family - with one greatthe exception: of the domedmonumental, monumentaldomed vestibule.
