[CF-Devel] Large forest in big world.

I have been thinking about this for a while, which is why it has taken me so 
long to reply,

I don't really have a grand master plan, except for areas close to the 
prince's castle.  The rest was just a vague "elven managed forest" in the 
Large Forest, you can handle that.

Sounds like we should combine our efforts.  What may be a major problem is the 
location though.  You have been working to the northeast of where I wanted 
the elven lands to go.  The castle has to be located close to the Dragon Lord 
City, as it has an underground area that joins it.  The area between the 
three lakes (world_110_118) is perfect, I can cordon it off easily and still 
leave the rest of the northern Large Forest for the rest of the elves.

So how about it?  I keep within the lakes, and you move your elves to the 
surrounding area, leaving the area between the lakes and the dragons as a no 
mans land?
