Ever wondered why there wasn't any sort of checkpoint or defence before you entered the Imperial City, the capital of Cyrodiil and the Empire? Well now you don't have to.

This mod adds a fully functioning Gatehouse built upon Talos Bridge to prevent any criminal scum, Mythic Dawn agents, or Gods forbid the Grey Fox from entering the city!

-The mod features over a dozen new NPCs which will go about their daily business.
-New walls have been constructed around the main entrance to maintain security and trade throughout the city.
-The Imperium Tavern located within the gatehouse will provide you with food and drink if you have the gold.
-There is also a bard and a juggler who will entertain you while you sit down and have a drink.
-The Legion smithy on your way out is willing to trade with you as well.

Enjoy the mod!

This is pretty cool! Not only does it make sense that there would be something like that, but it also breaks up that long boring bridge very effectively, which is a very good thing. And all those details are very nice too, like all those different kinds of crates and those awesome carriages and wagons!

Also liking the look of those interiors and the features like bards etc. that you mentioned. Downloading now.

Finding myself agreeing with Fearabbit on all points. This looks like another beautiful addition to my modlist :3

Is it compatible with Better Cities??

As AliTheLord said above, is it compatible with Better Cities?

but it would be nice to know if its compatible with BC

Nice detailing and the wagon looks awesome as said. Those glider like thingies look interesting as well. Congrats on and thanks for the release!

Wow, this looks really good

Also, have you thought about making optional modules for http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20218??

Very nice indeed!! wow great detail

but it would be nice to know if its compatible with BC

looks like it would be, don't think BC adds anything out there, but don't really know

will try out and let everyone know

great looking mod thanks for sharing

Yes it is.

Is it certain that this is compatible with both BC and UL? I'm getting a whole load of big rocks blocking the road, which has been straightened. Easy to get rid of the rocks with the console but I liked the road being twisty.

Great mod though, loving the ballistas and pipe smoking npc in the tavern. Adds a lot of atmosphere.

The Imperial Isle mod is incompatible. Right now Arthmoor over at UL is working on a patch to make the two mods compatible. ^_^

This is great, instant download! I love the little details you've added.. Could you make it so that the gates lock up in the evening and open again in the morning?

Patch for Imperial Isle is up at Nexus: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13834

I love the details you've put in there, Dàin. The Imperial Bridge will be much more fun to visit now instead of being a long, empty road.

Thanks! :goodjob:

Well, from the little testing I did, it seems to work fine with TAS. In fact, the only things that are near the stepstones are two guardsmen, blissfully unaware of what they're standing on

I've just downloaded and tried this out. An outstanding piece of work, and I think it will stay in my load order. However, I have to report a compatability issue issue with http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22751. That mod adds various bits an pieces to Imperial Isle and the far shores of Lake Rumare, and two of these things conflict with TBG - an inn to the north of the TBG complex and a small farmhouse to the south of the complex. I wouldn't know where to start to try fixing this, sadly ...

Have you tried out the patch for the Region Revive mod over http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13834#?
