My idea was to try and copy the idea of a settlement and use the drones and maybe communication centres and possibly radar posts but as I say the scale is a little odd. So I will have to keep thinking Doug

While I like a few of the buildings and things I designed, I had some thoughts. Hopefully someone will shed some light on the subject. I know the eldar are supposed to gbe few in number. Wich ?would make any metro-centers unavailable. Am I correct? That would mean that Eldar would only exist on a planet in settlements if at all. Also, given the nature of the arc habbitats, that would also mean a communal style of living. So, I am assuming that buildings would be few in number. Giving, instead to a large central unit with few smaller supporting structures. Correct? (I also read something about Eldar and geodesic domes but, I hate that look. Too, logans run.) This type of life style is also more efficient, so a simple over-all layout is necessary. I am still going to submit some of my ideas. I just want a few of my concerns answered or am I over thinking this? _________________ Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant!

Ok, I was going through my sketches of hypthetical Eldar terrain and I hit a roadblock. While I like a few of the buildings and things I designed, I had some thoughts. Hopefully someone will shed some light on the subject. I know the Eldar are supposed to be few in number. Which ?would make any metropolitan-centers unavailable. Am I correct? While most of the Eldar survivors are craftworld-bound (live on huge spaceships), the Exodites live on maiden worlds and have some kind of urban dwelling abode, but it's never been explained, developed, or "fluff-iffied." I would guess that it's eco-friendly since the Eldar Exodites are "in tune" with nature, but who knows? I've looked through books of "green" architecture for ideas. I still like the idea of organiform homes of the "Barbapapa" type. I wonder if Eldar homes would have soul stones and wraithbone? I would think so. Opinions, anyone? That would mean that Eldar would only exist on a planet in settlements if at all. Also, given the nature of the arcology habitats, that would also mean a communal style of living. So, I am assuming that buildings would be few in number. Giving, instead to a large central unit with few smaller supporting structures. Correct? (I also read something about Eldar and geodesic domes but, I hate that look. Too, "Logan's Run.") This type of life style is also more efficient, so a simple over-all layout is necessary.

I like the communal idea, but I think that some Eldar might be individuals with private homes. There would also be special purpose structures.

I am still going to submit some of my ideas. I just want a few of my concerns answered or am I over thinking this?

Considering that it's all fantasy anyway, I don't think you overthinking it. Have fun with your ideas and share them with us later, please. ?

Shalom,
