THE CITY OVERVIEW Screenshots NAME
The name is undecided, i need to talk with kwiftee before deciding

Location:
Standing under the gate on the map (the built one)
x=107
z=504
Housing:
MARKED ON THE MAP IN RED
There will be limited houses but if there is a great enough need then the housing will try and expand to accomidate everyone.

The one main thing is that there will be prebuilt houses to rent, but then there will also be a few plots for custom houses that people can rent out and then be able to build keeping with the theme of the city. The plots will be regulated with a maximum size (TBA)

Infastructure:
The infastructure marked in blue on the map will have a wheat farm, a city owned and run shop, a sugarcane/reed farm, A small tree farm, A storehouse, an Inn to get 'tourists' and a portal to the tower of babel (it probs wont be in the blue area though, it will end up somewhere else in the city)

Market/ Player shops)
Marked in yellow on the map, The markets will be small stalls where people can put their goods up for sale, The people in the town have priority, but out siders can also rent a stall, payments are made weekly. There are also gonna be small shops that players can rent, either on a fortnightly, or monthly basis. These shops are bigger than the stalls and therefore more stuff can be sold. The only downside is that the shops are more expencive
Also, I will need someone with a thing for redstone to devise some sort of trap/emergency shutdown of the city gates. Thinking towards the future, if we have wars between cities and to keep out the mobs at night.

Government Building(s)
Marked in green on the map will be one, or a few, buildings that make up the government area. It is in a seperate part of town and can be locked down in an emergency. They wont be too much and mainly there for the look of the town, but it will be functional and hold meetings ect.

Park
The pink part of the map is where we will have a park, it could be used for hunting Mobs, and maybe animals, but none of the trees or dirt get touched for resources. Its mainly for looks aswell but i feel it adds a nice touch.

Building:
Building has already begun as you can see on the map, currently i have me and my IRL mate (kwiftee) working on it and we are going at a good pace, one of the major problems would be moving the mountian thats sitting right in the center, but as long as TNT is legal it will be easy enough.

In the way of help, i dont mind if no one does, but the only problem i can see is the large cost of time and/or money to get all the resources and with cobble at $30 a stack, its not going to be cheap.

There is a blankish area on the map and if anyone has some ideas for it then please go ahead and suggest, but i was gonna leave it free till the town was built and then figure out what was still needed.

The 4 orange lines are the gates in the city, what ranks can make the craftbook gate things cause i dont think i can, so if somone could make them for me it would be apreciated

Finishing up. I'd like to thank the people who have helped me here and there, I wanna thank Kwiftee for being my partner in this, he is new to SPA.net and i hope you will make him feel welcome, i also wanna thank the people who have dropped in and helped do a bit of building

My other IRL mate hp700 if he can downgrade to 1.6.6 will be joining me aswell

Anyway, im of to continue, Hope you like the proposal.

*this peoposal could and probs will change, please be awear of this fact

EDIT 1 - CHanged the map (added a correction in words)

Looks nice from what I can tell from the current state, this was bound to succeed from the beginning! This might be a good turn on your career, mate! I'll drop by to help some MOAR if you want :3 + gatefy.

How big is this going to be? As in what are its dimensions?

I just ask as I am wondering if you can afford to buy the zone that will contain it.

to be honest it will be rather large, i have no clue on the size, is there any special plans for cities that allow them to be cheaper than standard residential? or is it 0/5 per block still?

Not really, no. Beyond Iron City, Leo's Castle, J_Mon's new build and yet-to-be-announced project, all builds by players are to be paid for if they want them to be protected. The entire purpose of the Residence mod is to allow you to protect what you build, but also to encourage you to only build what you can protect. I have no rules or limitations on what people can set out to construct and I am all for big builds, but players are going to have to work out the finances for themselves.

One last thing to keep in mind is that there are already 3 cities, 2 of which offer the kinds of things you are talking about, and at best we have about 25 players, most of whom are making their own builds on which they will already have to pay rent. Is this maybe something to think about when we have attracted a larger group of players? (Seriously, not trying to put you off and there is nothing stopping you building something on a huge scale but this server is a lot more violent than the old so it is all at your own risk)

you may wanna go change the section in the appeals and aplications section where it says 'READ BEFORE POSTING' and then there is a section about applying for cities

Hi, looking good!

Some suggestions Why not dig out the mountain, it will probably have all the cobble you need and more! That is what Yankee and I are doing sure it takes some time, but mining is part of what MINEcraft is all about.

Second, use mainly non-burnable materials, at least at first, that way you dont have to worry about fire spread too much, 3rd, use lots of lighting within walls to prevent monsters spawning till you can afford protections.

Yankee and I have found out that it is pricey to protect a build! We were also thinking of renting some space out, but dont think there are enough players who dont have their own builds yet who can/will pay to rent space. Maybe in the future? We hope? LOL

Good luck Mbl111 let me know if I can help, I dont know craftbook, but have a feeling I will be learnin

Yea, my plans were to remove the mountian, but digging it out is much better, i guess i might find a tonne of iron aswell, and mostly the city will be cobble and stone, but thanks for the advice

A reasonable point I suppose, but everyone who has been on the server in the last few weeks knows that we are now on a completely different map with a completely different setup. The days of explosion/fire/PVP free servers are gone as are the cities mentioned in that post.

Like I say, I am not saying "don't build a city" but you have to factor in its practicality and the chance of it ever being used on the new map. Cobblestone may be tougher than most materials but a good spawn of 5 creepers and a giant (hardly rare these days) plus a builder who has their sound off will turn your city into a crater very quickly...

OH! another thought might be to just zone a section, where you live, then as folks come in you can add to the protections or simply let them get their own.... but that wouldnt protect the roads so scratch that 2nd thought...

I was thinking that meant Not Suitable for Women. LMAO I really did!!

Hey, I'm impressed whenever somebody on Mobius actually finds, reads and posts on this forum.

To be honest, I am kinda impressed too. I mean, most of you are Reds so you rarely have time (interest) to post here, plus you don't have any reason. Us Greens and "those" traders on the other hand... Yeah.

[X] Pointless post.

To make it "not pointless", I'll give my support to mbl111 once again
