I'll take them all.

My only stipulation is that a 4 quadrant palace be built where d2 and d3 intersect in lieu of a 1 quadrant palace being built on each of the four lots (d1-d4). That a 2 quadrant palace be built where d5 and d6 intersect, and a 2 quadrant palace be built where d7 and d8 intersect. The rest of the lots should have 1 quadrant palaces.

Also, could the 10% and coin bonuses be applied to my previous purchases?

*please allow me to deposit moneritos to cover expenses.

The terms of the deal are acceptable, Tavastia.

Could you please give me a quote on the 4 quadrant palace--I may still want to build one at a later date on the bonus quadrant if it is possible to build such a structure on that lot.

Thank you,
Crichton

Your budget for the Public Works has not yet arrived. To alleviate nepotism, I could act on behalf of Town in this matter and bid for this one. It would be a nice site for a public building such as the 9.B Town Registry, which seems to be needed since Crichton bought such many lots that will be developed and require the services without going all the way to B.3...

Town: 80 mil for B1

Serving our clients' most exquisite needs is none of an issue to the Royal Architects! (It is just that our mindset this time was to sell ready-to-go investment land as the name suggests...)

If your wish is to have a palace/villa for personal use, we are absolutely the right provider. My suggestion in this case is as follows:

- The lots in 9-E are clear, they will have the 120 sqm nice houses with 100% lux as mentioned.

- The 9-NE is all yours, the streets are not yet zoned. So I suggest we retain the wide street to get the most out of the Rossiyan traffic, but an additional 10 q can be joined to your lots if the lots itself are merged to a larger entity.

- The Architect fee is 1 mil/minute, and for instance the Drama Palace in 5-C cost 230 mil. The total costs of that building were almost 2,000 mil, so the fee was comparably not large. A palace of about 400 sqm takes ~1.5 hours to design. The good thing is that we have done and can do absolutely every style possible, just give a list of all wishes and they will be fulfilled (and if something is not wished, a functioning and economical solution will be used). Our designs can stand the test of time. (All except one buildings collapsed in the Earthquake were designed by us.)

=> Since I already promised the design of the double-palace, but you seem to actually want the quad-palace more, how about we return to the single-palaces for most of the lots, and you tell exactly how much and which land you want to use for your own house, and how big and what kind of house, and I will have it designed, post the pics, and deduct 30 mil from the architect fee (for not needing to design the double-palace) . Then I will bill you for the extra costs compared to the single-palaces you paid for, or return the excess if applicable.

PS. in the map file, there is a proposal for the layout. My plan is to merge a 70 quadrat lot and have a parking area in front of the main entrance for the carriages. The house itself would have large terraces in the east and west, and the more voluminous center, perhaps of a partially submerged basement, and 2-3 floors (depending how high rooms are wanted, and how large floor area). The style can be your choice for instance:
- small windows ancient (Royal Palace)
- plantation-style, arcades (Town Hall)
- high castle (Wizard Castle)
- classical (Round Table House)
- art nouveau (Jacket Hotel in 5-C)
- moorish (Monero House)
- English (Barons' Row townhouse).

Considering the setting in a low density-gardenrich chapelry, the sprawling arcades could fit very well.

This plan has the additional advantage of becoming the largest residential lot and beating the Royal Palace, which only has 58 q (although more central). Perhaps the King's plans of developing Versailles nudge forward...

If I have gone astray with the ideas, feel free to correct. Always happy to exceed the client's wildest expectations, 
Tavastia

Roopatra would like to buy 20x CS1606E (incl. 1x CS1607E?) for 20 mil.

I love it! I'd like to gift a bottle of beer to all the players. Cheers!

This was hardly planned (Tavastia's land layout sparked the idea and it progressed from there), so details will come as they are made available.

I would say that for the moment everyone is invited to come and go as they please. The club offers a place for gentlemen and ladies to converse, enjoy a drink, and when the facilities are built, engage in the noble sports of swimming, golf, tennis and polo. I'd like to get some help expanding the design to groundwork--the architectural work would include no pay but an honorary lifetime membership (the first task would be creating the polo grounds). *

I would like to commend Tavastia on his excellent design and bestow on him an honorary lifetime membership.  The west wing of the Club will be named "Tavastia Hall" in his honor. I would also like to extend a lifetime membership to the King whom the Polo grounds will be dedicated to once they are complete.

*Sadly, the Polo grounds would take up a chapelry (300 X 160 yards), so this will have to wait until the demand for Polo grounds meets the required price or the grounds are found at a huge reduction in price. Luckily there's enough room for tennis courts and "The King's Court" seems a natural fit. Also, the limitations of early golf equipment could allow for a small golf course on the land facing the Club House. As the game equipment advances it may take a whole borough to fit a course--though this type of advancement seems a far off time none of will live to see.

On a even dourer note, there doesn't seem to be any golf clubs in the Kingdom, I'm told that in a place called Glasgow the game has been played for centuries. The importation and production of golf equipment could spark interest in the burgeoning sport.

"The modern game of golf is generally considered to be a Scottish invention. A spokesman for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, one of the oldest Scottish golf organisations, said "Stick and ball games have been around for many centuries, but golf as we know it today, played over 18 holes, clearly originated in Scotland."[10][11] The word golf, or in Scots gowf [gʌuf], is usually thought to be a Scots alteration of Dutch "colf" or "colve" meaning "stick, "club", "bat", itself related to the Proto-Germanic language *kulth- as found in Old Norse kolfr meaning "bell clapper", and the German Kolben meaning "mace or club".[12] The Dutch term Kolven refers to a related sport.

The first documented mention of golf in Scotland appears in a 1457 Act of the Scottish Parliament, an edict issued by King James II of Scotland prohibiting the playing of the games of gowf and football as these were a distraction from archery practice for military purposes.[13] Bans were again imposed in Acts of 1471 and 1491, with golf being described as "an unprofitable sport". Mary, Queen of Scots was accused by her political enemies of playing golf after her second husband, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, was murdered in 1567. George Buchanan subsequently wrote that she had been playing "sports that were clearly unsuitable to women". Golf was banned again by parliament under King James IV of Scotland, but golf clubs and balls were bought for him in 1502 when he was visiting Perth, and on subsequent occasions when he was in St Andrews and Edinburgh.[14]

An entry in the Town Council Minutes of Edinburgh for 19 April 1592 includes golf in a list of pursuits to be avoided on the Sabbath.[15]

The account book of lawyer Sir John Foulis of Ravelston records that he played golf at Musselburgh Links on 2 March 1672, and this has been accepted as proving that The Old Links, Musselburgh, is the oldest playing golf course in the world. There is also a story that Mary, Queen of Scots, played there in 1567."

Won't you need edit access to create buildings, change lot sizes and landscaping? All things I'd like to do. 

Already working on it. Will take me a few days to learn the ins and outs of working in a spreadsheet design, but seems pretty straight forward.

Thank you, Marquess Noms,

Availability of Wine and the Health of the King

Alarming reports have surfaced from our trading partners. War is currently ravaging the trade routes and IC cannot be converted to wine. This should not pose a major difficulty since the kingdom has quite nice stocks, and the disturbance is expected to be temporary. Not yet this.

Another rumor needs to be confirmed. The health of the King is 5,000 points worse than previously announced. This is not a new development, it has not gotten notably worse lately. It is a long time thing, dating back to the very ancient times (before 1400):


We repeat that the revelation should not be thought as to pose any danger to the Throne. But also that we will arrange the succession without undue delay. At present it seems that the health can be maintained at the present state many more years.

The King feels so much the pain of the other 2 weak characters (Kushed and Munny) that he gifts both with 12 bottles of W1603A, the best wine available.
