[QUOTE="KidSnide, post: 5124856, member: 54710"] I don't see how a Boston-based game can overlook the massive public works project. There's nothing like a river that's be redirected to flow through a mountain range (either against gravity or by removing some mountain) to suggest an unusual concentration of political patronage. Why do such a thing? Probably to provide better drainage for the imperial city. The imperial city will also have otherwise inexplicable industries that exist purely to provide ephemeral amusement for the imperial house. Whether it's training griffons to sing or creating sugar scuptures that act out important historical battles by cutting down their cake enemies, dipping them in chocolate and serving them to the imperial guests. It's also fun to have massive elaborate magical amusements (floating gardens, et al) that became passe a century ago. An animated topiary garden is pretty amazing it it's own way, but it really says something when that's one of twenty districts dominated by some long since abandoned bizarrity. As a side benefit, Jurrasic Epcot also makes a good adventuring location... -KS [/QUOTE]
