    Prompted by Gemenon being featured by Andrew, I have decided to show off the rest of my nation.
    It was inspired by BSG, which supports my nerdiness, but we all play minecraft so who cares :p
    Rather than have the same old flat 200x200 town, I decided to give my cities a bit more of a story, so feel free to read their stories, or just look at the pretty pictures :p (or ignore the post completely, that too is an option).

    (The following is the lore of the nation of Zodiac. Some of the information or areas described may not specifically appear in-game)


    The 12 colonies of The Zodiac were founded nearly a century ago by the first men of ecocitycraft. The 12 colonies were once a close alliance of the strongest and most prosperous lands, bound together under the contract of The Zodiac, which ensured peace and safe trade among it's citizens. Although once a strong alliance, the 12 colonies have drifted over time, with some colonies taking dominance, whilst others have gradually become more isolated.

    Gemenon - 'The Jewel of the Southern Sea', is the oldest colony of the nation of The Zodiac. Well known for its beauty, with it's parks and canals, Gemenon holds onto the past and tradition. The city lives a fairly secluded life, with it's only real connection to the world being through its portal to the heart of Ecocity. Although it somewhat distances it'self from the other colonies, the city is closest to it's sister city, Virgon.

    Virgon is the home to an ancient monarchy, who reside in the glorious Palace at the heart of the ornate city. A highly exclusive society, citizens of Virgon are among the wealthiest in all of Ecocitycraft. The city is known for it's upper society gatherings, often hosted at the Virgon Opera house, itself an elaborate structure and display of extreme wealth on behalf of it's constructors.

    Far to the north lies the city of Caprica. Once a jungle paradise sprawling over a small island chain, the Capricans have, over time, transformed this land into a bustling metropolis. Unlike Gemenon and Virgon, Caprica has embraced innovations and technology, emerging as one of the leading cities in trade and property. The city is also famous for its excellent transportation systems, with its state of the art underground rail network, public roads, and major port, home to the famous luxury passenger ship, 'The Titanic'.

    These are all amazing. I would like to take a look at some of Caprica if you are ever available. You are a fabulous builder and I can definitely admit this is better than anything I have ever seen.

    Sure, feel free to message me in game anytime and I can tp you to Caprica. We should also be getting it a portal soon... it is the next thing on our list after our next expansion gets processed :)
    I can't quite take all the credit for all the builds up there. The Caprica Stock Exchange is mostly xxhobobunnyxx's work, and The Titanic is a joint project between us :)

    Sure, anytime :) I'd be happy to give you a tour.
    And Darkwatch is a great city, it certainly deserves recognition.

    I already have a cabin in the Titanic, but any chance there are plots and/or buildings to purchase so I can make my home in any part of this awesome nation?

    We don't have any plots in Caprica - purely prebuilt, but we have apartments for sale, and are currently expanding south where we'll be creating a suburban area, where there will be some luxury modern houses for sale in the near future.

    after setting up an expressway/highway connection from Caprica to Rock's farms, we have officially created a supernation between me, outer, and rock, consisting of 9 cities. An unofficial branchoff towards Rock's section, by Exalita, will soon be connected by the great Caprica expressway/subway system, creating ten cities adjacent to each other. The supernation is now currently the largest group of adjacent cities together, with the exception of a cluster of twelve cities around spawn and another jumble of cities around a massive castle. An eleventh is planned to the northeast of CapricaDocks. Stay posted for further updates! :D
