While you guys were loafing around this weekend, I've been doing some field research in our favorite city.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Heh... Glenham is also a small village in the US. Population around 100.. I wonder if they have any derelict towers in there.

Probably based on latest census info. I think the census in the US used to be something like every 10 years, presumably more frequent now so having signs like that hardly seems sensible. I remember passing through a little village in the US years ago that had a tiny population (less than 50), wouldn't have thought that would merit a sign :-)

I wouldn't doubt they use decals. I don't remember for this sign, but I've seen them used on other signs before. But yeah, maybe just once every 10 years or so with the census, for fiscal purposes or whatever. Could be as much an administrative status than literally the number of people actually living there at a given time. Actually, I have no idea though.

 

@Midnight, more research needs to be done to get to the bottom of this.

Maybe everybody just left for the weekend for all I know.

That was my first thought too. Having to get a new sign every time someone dies or has a baby must become quite expensive in the long run.

 

I think we found the solution to the State's fiscal crisis. CUT ALL SIGN PRODUCTION!

Sharp suit, too.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

      (I just write this down, because it's on my mind)
      I think it's time somebody makes the city hub fm 😉
      Technically I see 2 possible ways.
      1. One is where everything takes place inside one mission and you teleport to different enclosed areas of the map to do subquests.
      2. Another is a campaign style mission. You start inside the cityhub. When you do a subquest, the mission ends, but the next mission you load the specific quest-map. This questmap you load is depended on what subquest you choose to start inside the map. Afterwards you load the 3th mission in the campaign which will be the cityhub map again, but via persistant info, changes some things inside the map (for example, you can't do the same subquest twice) and you have more gold maybe, etc, etc. So if the cityhub has 5 subquest missions that can be played in any order, the total amount of missions in the campaign would be 10, but the amount of map files 6. Because if you start in the cityhub map, after each subquest mission, you return to the cityhub map again, except for the last mission. When you make missions later you can add them to the cityhub again and make it bigger.
      (This seems all possible with changes made in TDM 2.13 , but I'm not 100% sure. It's at least an interesting project to work on)

      I started using Unexpected Keyboard for Android phone.
      It's pretty cool, because it has an actual Ctrl key, which you can use to do cut, copy and paste actions via x, c and v. pretty handy in the forums, to move quoted text around for example.

      Dammit there are too many missions available now. That's what I get for being away for so long. Such a first-world problem.

      The best thing about not mapping more than like every other year is the awesome feeling to see how far TDM has gotten in all appartments. I can just create some parallaxing cobblestones and walk to and fro and just let the jaw drop
