Maybe I am missing something, but what does "GDR" stand for?

[eugenio-82]

GDR = RPG = role-playing game)

[Rieux1972]

Okay :-) would never have guessed that! Not sure how that would work within TSO?

[eugenio-82]

the personalization of the island is another big piece of underestimated feature from my POV......

heheh , what i meant is: does anyboby have a cool looking island ? or you just put your buildings in a strictly efficence disposition??

[casel0gic]

I dislike asymmetrical designs that are haphazard and disorganised. Most players are perfectly happy to construct buildings wherever there is a free space, irrespective of surroundings. But it's a completely different matter when irregular placement is intentional and has obvious character, like yours. My island (http://overcast.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/media/main%20copy.jpg) is organised and reasonably efficient, bordering on OCD.

I don't have anything on my island that has no function

Quite happy that I finally got to make my "Twin Kingdom Valley" diorama (look it up kids) in S9, took over two years and 435 SFTRs, but I finally got the White castle needed to complete it from a random Xmas Box. :)

sector 2 - just 2 exotic wood sawmills and gold mines, pirate residences around tavern...
sector 3 - hardwood sawmills and more nice parks

sector 6 - coking plants and recyclers
sector 7 - hardwood cutters and foresters
sector 8 - marble masons

Everywhere I have nice parks with lot of deco and some residences for settlers:

[eugenio-82]

COOL THAT's what i'm talking about!

[Ryuisnod]

looks very nice but also appears to be producing very little...my island isn't that tidy but its output is very high

[JessieSun]

yes but why would settlers go to adventures and kill others if not for their peacefull life on their nice island; marble and hwp are always needed in trade office, just like coins, so if I need army I can buy what I need

[daisy288]

how did you get that monument in sec 3, i've only seen it in Gunpowder? and i like the flag too, shame we can't get them any more

[JessieSun]

I bought it in TO.

What makes you think you have a right to say that is not cool?

As long as a player is happy with his island then that is all that matters, yours is no better than anyone else just because you build it without thinking about efficiency.

[gajodoporto]

i personaly dont like when im buffing a friends island and the list comes like:

s1 - 1 bakery, s2-2 bakerys, s3 - 1 bakery

so building eficiency has a lot to do with island design. but of course each player can have their own custom island the way they want.

is not cool cause it's simply ugly on the eye..

[Brankovics]

The meaning of 'cool looking' can become the subject of a public debate, even a philosophic. Beyond that it is just a personal preference to care or not with island appearance. Also personal to take a pride in such appearance, so discuss that seems to be a pleasant chatter.
