With a big ass fancy wall around it.

 

[astraeasan]

this saddens me

 

[Cpt.Carnage]

I'm game for this!

 

[MrJangles]

I don't think it can be outside of the borders. It should be kept inside existing regions.

 

[kking1]

Jangles would it be possible to extend the border a little farther out?
or maybe cuboid a certain region in the outlands?
so only donors get access?

 

[MrJangles]

That's a question for static but I think the answer is no. There would be way to much configuration re-working, if it would work at all. However, with the release of 1.7 this may be possible.

so coffee whats the layout plan of this massive project im curious before i maybe endorse it. 64x128 seems a bit much... that's a land claim right their for new users.

64x64 maybe just the right size for normal structures... larger structures can just have a second plot if needed.

how are your roads going to look. i have a few ideas for roads myself.


edit: ryan need an actual claim down once the area is selected.

 

[kking1]

And also would it be a standard 64x64 plot sizes?
coz I had that problem in my town where people didnt want any more than 20x20 claims
some even much smaller

The 128x64 plot was just an arbitrary suggestion to get us thinking. I definitely think it should be pretty large so that the donors can modify land within their plots. The donor area has to be more desirable than most (if not all) other towns. But yeah 64x128 is kinda big. It's the size of my castle's land I believe. It's up to you guys; what you think is necessary and deserving for the donors.

As for the general look of the town, that's up for discussion too. Hopefully it will looks beautiful. I was thinking waterfalls, different altitudes, some trees (with glowstone in them), etc. But imo it shouldn't look like a grid, or plots side-by-side. Certainly this is only my opinion and whatever we as a group decide should be what we go with.

As a reference, my castle itself is 52x80.

I think 64x64 is more than plenty for a nice castle.
Hills probably has the most free land available, but other lands have some if you evict the people that haven't been on in a few months.
32 blocks between lots is a bit to much, something like 20 or 15 would be much better, you would have room for one way roads that are 5 wide (so 10 block wide roads) and still have room to put something in the middle.

I like GS's Idea of a large wall around the area. Even better, we could have one main entrance gate, with only donators allowed to enter. Either that, or you could only get in with PW's, and only donators let inside.

Also, I agree with a 64x64 plot size. 128x64 is quite quite large.

 

[DarkRyan100]

I dont think the idea is to only let donors inside, anybody can still look around thats the point we want people to get people to build here but only donors will be able to build in the area. As far as the area goes since Jangles wants it inside the border GS and I looked at an area of hills which may work out but we'll need to talk to fluffy and msfluffy about it. Also, I love the idea of a wall haha.

We must keep the nubs at bay! It is imperative!

 

[coffeeplz]

Excellent guys. Also yes all should be able to enter the area, but only donors can build.

Okay so 64x64 is the running plot size, and around twenty blocks between plots. Any artists want to design a layout we can work from?

 

[Serythvalker]

Would there be the option of 32x32 - 64x64 plots? That way anyone wanting a small area could have one. I don't know, just a possibility. I support the idea, whatever the case may be. A wall = YES.

 

[DarkRyan100]

maybe to keep plots in line everyone would get a 64x64 plot but you could only build on a 32x32 section and landscape the rest?

I like this idea...because you know somebody will try and make a huge square cobble building...

Start with a town hall/courthouse, then a town square, then outwards from there.

 

[DarkRyan100]

In terms of land coffee if you want I can send you an image that Gods and I were looking at earlier in vent.

 

[Lord_Jones]

I'm down with this, sounds awesome to me.
I can help with getting resources and building the wall off the start.
