The island of Vvardenfell

Creative Game

A survival game on this map: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1678244-custom-terrain-island-continent-5000x5000/

The original idea was a hanging gardens-esque palace, then I thought "Hey, why don't I just build a whole city?" So, I decided to up the scale a bit, but kept the rounded rectangle tiered design. Then I decided to add more depth to the lore of the city, which I have yet to invent, by building it in two distinct styles of architecture: first the 'clean' classical era marble (well, quartz} main structure, in which the hanging gardens inspiration can be seen, then second the 'dirty' medieval era, stone brick castle addition to the walls, built to be more practical and defensive than decorative. I'll also build a landscape around the city after I've finished it. I have managed to do approximately a third of the basic structure so far, with the rest as just an outline. My next update will be when the basic structure of the first tier has been completed. The texture pack used in the screenshot is the John Smith's Legacy pack.
