    I have spent about 2 months on ECC and I have decided it is time to start on a massive project as I recently got my first town named Syronnea. I will need many people to help me with this and everyone will have to be dedicated to it.

    Summary:
    So my town idea is more of a fantasy town. The idea originally sprouted in my mind as a huge underground dwarven type fortress after watching a video. Basically I was hoping to make something that looked almost as if it had been made in creative mode by a very good builder. Every line of the caverns that made up the vast city would be hand sculpted and very irregular with as little square or linear things as possible. I would also have to build up close to the sky limit which was 128 at the time.

    I kept thinking about this more and more and eventually news of 1.2's added height came into the picture. This expanded my idea even more. Why have a city entirely underground when you have 256 blocks to work with? I thought heck why not make some stuff above ground too. My thought was to have a huge block of stone WE'ed into the middle to the town and sculpt out an epic mountain from this. I then envisioned having this town being even more dynamic by making some floating islands or flying structures.

    Now this town would not be all that much citizen created. While there would be things for citizens to do, they wouldn't be building much besides the interior of their houses and maybe the exterior if I approve. I would have some things like Spleef, Arena fights, and building contests hopefully weekly. I think I want to get as many people on in one place as possible and form a tight community.

    Now here is a list of random ideas I have had while thinking about the city.

    • 1. A boat or two with portals on them so to be like a type of transport.
      2. Airships could be like this too.
      3. I had the idea of a sculpting contest for the dwarven part of the city. You would get a block of stone and carve out of it a sculpture winner gets something.
      4. I would like to have votes on things so as to keep the citizens happy and make them fell like they have a voice.
      5. A long story/lore to go with the city.
      6. I think I may like to have a 1k monthly tax where if you don't pay for 3 months your house is repossessed and your kicked.

    Needs and Requirements:

    I need many terraformers right now. The whole idea is to literally make an Island with a huge mountain on it from the ground up. I would like everyone doing this to be a resident or higher able to act mature while working on this project.

    As of now I do not need any donations other than dirt and stone but later I may need some donations. Anyone can donate.

    Any interest in this project is highly appreciated and I would like to hear some comments and criticisms about it. Again anyone can do this.

    Thanks,
    Zan

    Would love to help! Seems like a awesome idea. Just wondering would the sculpture take up the entire town and have houses built into or only a small portion? Either way give me a ring (sacrastic) and give me something to do and I will gladly help out... :D

    No. It would be like a 15x15x15 block of stone (or bigger) and you would have to sculpt out something from it.

    I would love to help if i didnt think of a project very similar to this one. I also guess u saw thelegendaryterraformer's map. He's awesome. Except i didnt thought it would be very easy to carve the caves and mountains that i think u saw ( those were made with a worldpaint tool). But i wish the best luck to this project a dwarf mine is a really interesting project. I decided to go more with the costome biome idea. Maybe one of these days we should share ideas about this. By the way what happened to your redstoners ecc club?
