Honestly, I'm not trying to be a wise-ass but shouldn't this thread be better positioned inside the VCMI thread?
I mean it will only be playable inside VCMI.
This forum already completly desorganized.

Thats ok, VCMI thread is about VCMI progress, Hota also has some extra threads for wishes, dreams and marital requests. This town looks very nice, imo the best looking town after hota, bastion and grove. Will see for creatures, thats the hardest part.

Ok, but I'm only trying to be coherent with my own positions in "Different editing politic for modding threads"; we need more levels of indexation.
Even yesterday I wanted to find MoP mod "Ride of Lightning"; after some attempts with Search function, I spent hours navigating trought the 76 pages of "WoG and Beyond" and at page 26 decided it would be better to ask you if you knew where to find it (as u may remember).
I believe is better for mod users if the add-ons to that mod can be found inside their particular thread in seconds, instead of hours of lucky guessing with search tool or manual scanning.
P.S. I'm dreaming. Warmonger (or any of us, btw) doesn't have the power to create a thread inside the VCMI thread. And that's what needs to be done. Sorry, YOU'RE RIGHT.

Google: type Mop Ride of Lightning. First result: MoP video. Below the video there is MoP home site link. The mod download is on top.
Took me 5 seconds.

Looks good, but I agree, this should be in the VCMI thread. How long in the process is it?

Looks really good, but it will take some time to make it outstanding.
Now I have to disagree with you guys. If each mod can have its own thread, Oasis also deserves one. Look at the amount of work that was already put in the project. Dozens of hours. Posting information about it in the official VCMI thread would make it completely messy and incoherent.
Sometimes I cannot help feeling that most of you treat VCMI (and all related projects) as something inferior to HoTa... Why? Because of quality? The point of the project? Because of the fact that everyone can contribute?

This...is...amazing. Brilliant artwork. Has so much unique character. It is definitely up there in terms of quality with Bastion/Cove.

Thanks Warmonger for topic. I couldn't do it myself due to blockade for new accounts.
I would like to add that I am searching for people who can help with project, especially with graphics.
I won't be posting everything here, cause I am spamming on acidcave and one place for that is enough, but I will post one graphic more to encourage someone from here as well.
Snake man (Name will change propably) as a 3rd creature for oasis.

Some other creature projects you can find here:
http://forum.df2.ru/index.php?showtopic=34518&st=40
You can contact me here via private message, or directly on acidcave

Your snakeman could do without the outstretched arms. For an animated corpse like Frankenstein's monster it makes sense but snakes are meant to be lithe and flexible so either arms at sides unless attacking or being attacked or no arms at all would look more natural.
As for names:
Basic: Asp
Upgrade: King Cobra

Well, I have town screen, 6/7 models of creatures, some of them are rigged, some animated to certain level, however only 1 def so far:
.
There are also some icons.
The rest is missing.
Snakeman is in T- Frankenstein position for rigging, so that's not the final pose. As for the names: i will think about them when animation is ready.
Macron, interesting proposition, but line up is settled
btw: current development of castle

Since the architecture is styled after the Islamic golden age, is the grail structure going to be Mecca or something else?

Well, the concept of Grail was focused on what is the most important on desert. So it is the magic tree providing what you can't have while getting away from Oasis. Function wasn't decided yet.
U can see grail at right corner:
Merry christmas

Looking good there. The townscreen is beautiful 
I think it's alright to have this outside of the VCMI thread, although it'd be probably better to name threads like this one as [VCMI] XXX Town or sth like that.
