They get more the more they push on. Regaining healing surges is a pretty big deal. In my opinion healing surges are the real limit on pushing on. A party with full encounter powers is still pretty powerful but little or no heaing surge is a tpk waiting to happen.4e characters are very powerful in the first fight anyway.I cannot point you to articles on cities but I would rob supplements of their city info. Ptolus, the various Forgotten Ralms cities have had witeups and modules over the years. Some of the Pazio adventure paths are city based. Shackaled Cuty in particular.In pre-industrial societies aquaducts and sewers relied on gravity flow. So for the aquaducts the resevoirs are at a higher altitude than the city. If there are points in the city at a higher elevation there is not water. Now magic can mitigate that. The aquaducts could be filled from a portal to an elemental source of water or a decanter of endless water. This portal or artifact has to be at a higher elevation than any place where water can be drawn in the city.Simirlarly sewers took waste waters and effluent and poured out to the river or sea. Now again in fantasy land some more exotic options are available.The thing is stuff goes from high to low but it can go up hill. If your resevoir is at 200 meters then you can pipe to any hill that is less than the resevoir outlet ( i.e up to 200m). The pressure from the tap is lower the closer the elevation of the tap is to the reservoir outlet is.Sewers obey similar principles with added compliations due to the solid load in the liquid. The campaign sounds cools and the outline sounds resonable.On other thing about cities, cities exist for a reason, some are river crossings, others are seaports. Some are trade route corssing in otherwise difficult terrain (mountians or marshes). Some are religous centers and others are defensive redoubts.Gotham/New York is a port and trading center. But you mentioned that your gotham is on the side of a mountain. So why is it there? is it a centre of worship sacred to some god? or where a number of mountain trade routes converge?Answer that and a lot of questions about the nature of the city is answered.</blockquote>
