    As some of you may already know, I have somewhat recently been restarting my town, Miragecity! Now that I'm nearly done, I need to come up with some ideas as to how the newly re-made Miragecity will look. It would help a bunch if I could get some tips and suggestions on the theme, building materials, etc. If you are going to suggest a theme, I would prefer it being related to a desert-area, since this city IS in a desert. I've been thinking about it being some sort of luxurious oasis type city, with possibly a river or lakes, and beach-side homes which have a 'Californian' style to them.
    I've created a concept-design of a typical house in this theme;

    In that case, it looks like some sort of adobe-type home.

    But honestly, any ideas will help.
    Thanks, Adam.

    My idea that is going to be for my first town is a shopcity, similar to the spawn area where individual shop owners could buy plots in different sections of town depending on what product they sell... the shop owners get money from incresed traffic and you get money from a small renting fee of like 50 dollars per week for all shops (could be bigger or smaller depending on size and buisness of plot). Add in free access to a pumpkin farm for all shopowners and everyone is happy!

    Yeah, but more specific maybe? :p

    Perhaps. However, I want this to be a mostly residential town, with pre-built homes similar to the way plots are sold in Berlin. The town portal may be moved to the centre, and the plots will surround it. I may have one section of plots dedicated to shops, or a marketplace styled-area.

    Ok ok, think... Taj mahal. Google some arabian architecture and try to mimic that style, it would be very unique. No one on ECC, that I know of, has tried that type of architecture yet.

    Maybe a huge floating town with some boats in it. Like a trade boom town that used to be a small fishing village 100% on top of water.
