This is the place to discuss Ondarion the new world coming with Royalty and Legacy. Pictures of the world is welcome.

I have been looking at the new map. There are 3 things I noticednew crown icon next to the world name. Is this some UI feature to see who rules a kingdom aka world? Are there any settings per kingdom which we can changeDembele has lot icons that I don't recognise. One looks like a sun and moon and is probably the new lot type that switches between day and night. But what is the other lot type on one of the 30x20 lot in Dembele?two neighborhoods have a 2 units label. I assume this will be apartments. Similar to Eco Lifestyle we seem to be getting a some apartments outside of san mychuno. It's also very nice for people without for rent to see apartments return. Anyone else notice one of the icons of the reveal with the parchment in the new world trailer? I wonder if the other two symbols will also be present in the world in the other neighborhoods.In general the map gives Mediterranean vibes with southern European influences north of the water and African influence south. I hope some of the ware can be used for swimming and boats. In general the map looks very pretty. But it feels like these should have been two seperate worlds: one European inspired and one African world. The African theme feels so different from what we already have, I think it would have deserved to be it's own world with 2 or 3 neighborhoods.

I'm going to enjoy incorporating my African gameplay and families into the world. I have a sim whose last name is Dembele' (a real West African sir name). It is nice to see a neighborhood named "Dambele". There are several Royal African Families in my gameplay.

You can see in the image posted on the official blog that at least two neighborhoods have beaches. Not sure that they are lots, but at least there is beach area in the neighborhood space. It also says that Verdemar neighbourhood is surrounded by the sea. The neighbourhood name means Green Sea. Dambele is a community where the arts are cherished, and shared spaces such as the open palace gardens and communal market embody its culture of generosity and togetherness.Verdemar, populated by heroic outlaws and cunning nobles, is as unpredictable as the sea that surrounds it.Bellacorde is defined by romance, opulence, and candlelit corners that invite illicit rendezvous. https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/royalty-and-legacy-expansion-pack

I agree 100%. After all these years, there should be at least one (1) entire world that is African themed with three (3) neighborhoods. The great part is because we can play our own way, my gameplay reflects my African culture 100%. However, it would have been a welcome gesture for EA to fully recognize that Africans play this game too.

Dambele is my fave so far, all neighborhoods are pretty as usual but I already struggle trying to build Tartosa so more mediterranean builds in my future do not excite me greatly 🤣
also there is danger of needing to rebuild some lots in tartosa if I move my builds into these new neighborhoods, ah, pain. head is already aching 😅
maybe I'll stick to playing Africa by Toto and dreaming of Dambele like true nordic tourist I am going to be in this world

I think Verdemar looks different from Bellacorde, and will place Verdemar in one of my kingdoms that also includes Sulani and Selvadorada. This one might look a bit Mediterranean, but in a much more tropical way, I think. In my game it will be founded by pirates with roots from Tartosa, so it will be allowed to stand out a bit from the jungle zone not far off. I'm not into Caribbean, but in a way it makes sense. I does look more wild and lush.

I noticed that too and due to the blog text I believe it's a market place. That's potentially such a cool lot type! I already love the market community space lot, but it takes some effort to set up, so I'd warmly welcome another similar type of lot with different sale items etc.

Maybe it's a market space like the ones that came with ECO lifestyle.

The lot that has the lot icon that I’ve never seen before. Also looks like the lot that was mentioned in the blog post that said it was a market.

The market can definitely be a top, center space for the community! What strategies did you use to create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere that encourages community interaction throughout the market?
But I feel like if we had a new lot type, they would’ve mentioned it so it’s making me second-guess myself.
