The Twili, Ikana, and Lorule are planned for invasions. The Lost Woods is pretty much solely populated by undead, mostly skull kids and then there's Gooey swamps which was a stalfos pirate stronghold.

Sounds awesome! Just wish they were playable! ;)

My 'opinion' on Termina is that it is the future of Hyrule, sort of like the apocalypse. Ikana is the remnants of Hyrule, torn apart by civil war and the Garo. Clock Town is the 'survivor' of these civil wars. This explanation fits in with the fact that all of the major races of Hyrule are present in Termina. The 'Golden Goddeses of Hyrule' are said somewhere in Skyward Sword to be the Gods of Light. I say Majora is the God of Darkness, and that he has a piece of the Triforce, which became Majora's Mask.

Enough with my theories, it's time for more suggestions.

I really think every race should be playable in some form in the final version, even if they have no flavor events or decisions.

Regarding Termina, I might eventually start a submod myself regarding my theory above.

I hope you guys do a race mechanic similar to Elder Kings. But also, I think you should have Blood Traits like the Lux Invicta mod, though not nearly as many, but like

Blood of the Hero
Blood of Hylia
Blood of the Gerudo King
Blood of the Sage of Light
Etc

Also, I suggest makeing more event chains regarding duels. Boss battles are a special thing in the Zelda series and there should be special types of duels. They should also be more frequent in battles.

Cultures should have rivalries with certain other cultures, like the Hylians and the Gerudo, and so on.

I'm interested to see what your plans are for a Demon King if he should take over.

The culture and religions are playable, they just aren't placed.
There's a problem....LoZ has ALOT of races, especially the Adventure of Link had 5-7 'races' that where only seen in that game (if you want to include boss and subraces), many of them the older ones aren't in. If the race shows up in multiple games (i.e. moblin), and especially (relatively) recent games (i.e.anouki and lokomo), or if they are a big antagonist (i.e. twili) they are in. Check the "Races" and "Spirit Tracks content" tabs on the 1st page to check out the races that are in. Like the credits says, I'm currently using the race event for the Elder Kings. Humans (pointed or rounded) can breed with most things that look human.

I fully encourage submods.

Bloodlines are in. All of those bloodlines are in, with the sage one being general.

I'd like to have duel chains and one for getting rid of monsters. But I'm not very good with large chains at the moment.

I'm not sure if the engine can do cultural rivalry. But the hate between the gerudo and hylians was a mixture of past 'wrongs', i.e. civil war and kidnapping men.

Sounds awesome!

I've seen cultural rivalry in the Lux Invicta mod. It's a fairly small modifier, but I'm sure it can be altered. I think it's base is:
Different Culture -20

With regard to races, I know there are so many races in the Zelda universe, and that it would be impossible to fit them all in. But unique races who ARE in should have at least one landed territory. Even if it is tiny, playing as that race would be a new game experience, and would please most players. I'm sure there are many landed titles, so giving one or two away to a Ikanian or Lorulian wouldn't be a big deal if they are in the game. ALBtW is newer than Spirit Tracks! I'm not suggesting alternate world interaction, I'm saying there should be some of those races in the main world. Reading your first post, I'm only suggesting adding these 'flavor races' after the main ones are pretty complete. For most players, the more races/cultures, the more polished and replayable the mod will be.
 
I'm working on drawing a map, but work and family life stuff are bogging me down currently. It will be a while before I am able to continue working on it again (at least until the end of February, probably), unless if find extra time for it.

Another question. Will the Hero of Time, ala Link, be playable at the main start date?

Link isn't planned playable for most bookmarks, he is more of a great general/warrior courtier, while Zelda is the great rule. At the slightly after OoT bookmark Link would be at Lon Lon ranch and married/betrothed to Malon.

Sounds good. Possibly in a spoiler, could you guys perhaps post a list of playable characters from the different games in all the bookmarks? I'd be interested to see who you guys have in mind.

Are all races going to be playable in all bookmarks?

Check out the 1st post 1st devlog for the races.

Many races are playable. Some of the older ones,i.e. from LoZ and AoL are combined into the more recent ones. Some of the races either haven't evolved, i.e. Rito, Zola, Sea Zora, or arrived, anouki, at the earlier bookmarks, but you can always use ruler customize.
 
I was wondering, will you guys release an alpha or beta with the first playable bookmark sometime in the near future? ( By near future I mean when it's ready) I think it would be good to have the opinion of the community on your side early on, and to help with reporting bugs and such.

This first release won't be for probably months after the map reaches the stage that it's terrain is done and won't be 1.0, probably alpha. The maps looking good, but it's still to bare to be shown. In my department I still need to make gerudo birth events, bare minimum, and many other events and traits.

Don't worry, take your time. I know it will be ready when it's ready. I am just suggesting that an early alpha would be good community wise, as a good amount of mods die because they aren't released till they are finished. Great to hear that the map is done for the most part!

The map isn't done, still need to do terrain, provinces, and rivers. It's currently just the continents and ocean(s). You don't have to worry about me waiting for the mod to be finished, just the first bookmark is playable, I'm not skilled enough to do the culture graphics and Nukumnehtar is busy with the map and Im not about not release it because of graphics.

Nukumnehtar was working on the map, but recently had to stop work do to IRL problems. However he did finish a rough river map, without the rivers. So I will be taking over the map making too. I'll be posting the maps as I finish the segments. As of now the size is roughly that of GoT's map.

(WIP) River Map

River Map with games overlay

The game (canon and non-canon) maps are included there are some non-canon Legend of Zelda locations that did not have a map or only a partial map that are currently not included in the overlay. Including but not limited to HoHo tribe/kingdom, Desert of Despair and a non shown empire, a middle forest interconnecting southern forest. Eastern (Asian) kingdom (Xing) based off of "Sing and Her Unicorn", Moria, Falsia, Rupeeland (South West continent), Gemland(South West continent coast, Based on Vasu Oracle of X), Wizrobe kingdom, Calatia, and Arcadia. While they are not shown their locations are planned.
