    Hi, /profile/6-wowgain/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="6" href="/profile/6-wowgain/">@WowGain and I aren't sure what to build for the new hub we're working on, a district of Haven called Rendera. It's supposed to be a coastal town with a Mediterranean feel and italian culture. Here's what we have so far that I've built:

    Maybe like a port area or something? Or a vineyard type thing?

    A shipyard, where people can build their own ships? Maybe a restaurant, or some ruins to emphasize Greece's influence on the Mediterranean. possibly a high Anodyne population.

    To better give influence to any ideas you might have, here's some background on Rendera




    Rendera was first colonized largely by a group of human refugees of Italian and Portuguese descent, where they quickly established a bustling fishing district. The Italians were largely families with great wealth and prominence, and soon formed the new elite of Renderan society as they began to move more inland from the quickly growing downtown districts in the Tuscan-esque hillside that families such as the powerful Guanciales have built their villas in. The Portuguese, however, made up the lower classes in most cases, acting as blue collar workers and fishermen. This social cleavage has led to a lot of unspoken ethnic tension between the two groups, as well as tension in general between the rich and the poor of the area, much more so than exists in the other three districts. Other species usually form the district's slowly growing, slightly stagnate middle class.

    Underground crime is very prevalent in Rendera, as the culture of italian mob families has not died out by any means in this land. Mobster culture is very popular in Rendera, and many children will look up to famous mafiosos and capos much like how american children looked up to the gunslingers of the wild west. Everyone knows that most government dealings are corrupt with mafia money, but it is just seen as an aspect of life. Portuguese gangs run into conflict with Italian gangs very often due to economic divides and any open violence that does occur is usually because of gang wars over these tensions. Portuguese mob families are often seen as the most unruly and dangerous organized crime in the district due to their poverty compared to the Italians that control the district, and many who live in downtown Rendera fear them because of this reputation.

    You could always add a lighthouse monument at the end of the district.  It could just be for decoration rather than function.




     




    Another thing you could do is make the port layered, with the Italians running the top where everything looks nice, and have the Portuguese hang around at the bottom where it's kind of sketchy.

    I think it would be interesting if both mafias run small casinos that can also reflect their characteristics in said mafia. For example Italian-mafia-owned casinos may be grand and welcoming while the portugese counterparts may be vice-versa.
