I think of this as "pre-apocalypse" ( "apocalypse" being Independence! ) - a time when the Brits were just happy fighting the Dutch or the French or anyone else - and even the odd American... (did I say odd?)
Anyway - the 3D New Amsterdam is already being done by the New Amsterdam History Center apparently, so I thought I'd have a rather more simplistic go at it. All I've done is a very basic height_field which approximates the land shape for now, as for the hills - it has no resemblence whatsoever - I'll improve on theh eight when I get around to it.
It's very dull at the moment, but here's the starting "placeholder"... it may take some time... but I hope to use the results for another entry later, perhaps.
