When I started remodeling my capital city, I isolated some components (the embassies, for example) and saved them as separate osm files so I could put them back once I found a spot for them in the ‘new’ city.

However, since the replacements are the same version number as the originals that were deleted, JOSM pitches a fit about data-set synchronization when I upload; the message “your version is version 1, server has version 2”. Conflict resolution is slow because I can’t get JOSM to download all the desynced data at once (I get a read timed out error if I try to synchronize the entire data-set, which I sometimes get on normal data downloads from the server), so I have to sync each each conflict individually.

Is there a faster way around this issue? I have more things I plan on restoring in this manner and would like the process to go a bit quicker. :)

Having been unsatisfied with my previous attempts at drawing the capital, which all desceneded into grid-madness, I’ve started building the city using the historical progression method similar to the way Wesmandy is going. As such, here is Sadiemarkt ca. 1200-1350ish. I’ve only worked on the area within the city walls for the moment, as I wanted to get some opinions before I went too far. Future expansion plans put the central business district stretching from the current center (within the walls) out to Trakẙ de Carrighi̋sa (south of the walls)

For context, I’ve redesigned the terrain for the whole country, of course matching at the borders, but I haven’t redrawn things except around Sadiemarkt and Cape Aritsom (across the estuary and along the peninsula to the north), so thats why the rivers are broken to the west of the city and other terrain mismatches.

As my main project is in my mind a former colony of Commonia, I have been putting together a rough sketch of Commonian history, mostly focusing on the 1900s to now, along with the rumored Great War. I’ve put it up as a sandbox article on the wiki here.

As Commonia is ‘public property’, I don’t want to make anything official without letting the community look things over, so please look things over and let me know what you think about things.

Have coastline updates been temporarily halted? I did some major revision near my capital about this time yesterday (10:30ish US EST) and they still haven’t gone into effect.
