Removing Thalmor presence in Cyrodiil is a pretty big decision lore wise, so I personally think this shouldn't be touched. I'm pretty sure Bethesda won't ban this mod for using place names, the only controversial mod I know of is Morroblivion and this is because it converted actual assets from TES:III to TES:IV, I don't think we'll run into problems with place names as their are several world expanding mods (Elsweyr the Deserts of Anequina and TR Stirk for example) that haven't had any trouble with this either. I personally find the idea of expanding the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood very interesting, the Mages Guild has been destroyed long ago (2 similar factions have come in it's place though) and I don't know anything about the Fighter's Guild to be honest. Being a guard in the Imperial City is a pretty cool idea but I don't think it will be a priority at all. It's not worth the trouble, the old map isn't on scale anyway. quality would most likely be lost when scaling it up, so it's better to start from scratch.

I would love to see Cyrodiil in Skyrim, I had this idea too, but like most people said it would be nearly impossible to do alone. I for one am not so interested in having new area's like some people suggested(I do not know if they meant new area's as in Black Marsh or Valenwood for example(Valenwood would be awesome though) or something like a total conversion), they take more time would probably be less lore friendly, and I like my mods lore friendly. To be honest I do not have a lot of experience with the Construction Sets, I've only created minor mods I did not release(mainly non-scripted personal homes) for Oblivion, FO3 and FNV. So I've only got some basic experience with the CS's, I plan to learn more before the Skyrim Creation Kit comes out though. I'd also be very interested helping out with the organisation/planning/structure of this project and keeping all the information and resources organized. I am basically willing to do any task, no matter how small or boring it might be, I'm also eager to learn anything that would be needed. I've got a lot of free time on my hands and I'm willing to dedicate nearly all of it to this project. I live in a GMT+1 time zone, which might be important in relation to communication. All that said, there is a lot of work to be done and a dedicated board for this project would probably prove invaluable, if your willing to accept my help I can start out by doing some research into free forum services that would suit this project needs, I've had no prior experience with setting up forums but there's a first time for everything I suppose.
