My Idea for The map after the Update

Quote :

If we get the new map, i would suggest the following

1 Capital city (Iza Lake probably) with the colloseum, stores, expensive houses etc.

and 4 Villages

1 snow Owner ?

1 desert Owner: ?

1 woods Owner: Asta (Because he already owns green city, and his giant tree could move to this spot

1 underwater maybe? Owner: ?

And newcomers must sign up on the forums saying wich village they want to join
So the villages would never become ghost towns, and everyone would have enough space to expand

then i suggest another thing, capital city in the middle, and a square of trains going thru the cities, so we are connected etc.

And ofcourse if stuff goes wrong, we need a max limit for villagers like 8 per village or something?


Thats my idea

And maybe you can decide who the mayors of the towns will be

I've send this message to Yog
and this is His Response:
Very good idea, I like it a lot, can you post it on the Green City forum (not the Minecraft one), so everyone can discuss it ?

So yeah, Discuss my idea here, what do you think of it?

EDIT: If possible, we could transfer buildings from the old map to the new map, so we don't have to start all over again

Desert, what now?

The idea sounds good to me but i wouldnt mind having my current castle be located in the desert area if possible. Village can have a castle theme and possibly a near by port for ships and boats.

I like this idea. I think one of the first things, if not the first thing, for a newcomer to do would be build a house in their village/city. Once they've done that, they can do whatever. I wouldn't mind an underwater city; however, the map should be edited/mined to make the ocean deeper. I know how to manipulate water and could help out with that (see Ocean's Roar Cave near the current spawn and the underwater tunnel nearby to see what I mean).

I think that sounds really cool. It'll definitely add more depth to the server, and people can experience different regions. Anyways, great idea!

totally agree with this one,

Love the idea. I've only been on the server for a week or so, but this would help spice things up a bit.

If the work needed to move all buildings around is not too much for Yog, I think the idea is cool.

Lol, I've played biomes in singleplayer now, and it's not really good
The desert areas are waaaay too small, but i like how grass and trees have different colors depending where you are
I hope that in SMP we can have some exploration teams to find awesome spots

btw, Who is going to own a town?
I want one with dirk really bad lol

I'm fine with starting over from scratch. Although I am not going to join anyone else's town, as I hate crowded towns with a passion. I hope I can find another slightly out of reach place and see about creating Stonebeard 2.0. Preferably someplace with some snowy peaks.

No knock to those who want villages, that's fine, but I build my dwarven fortress on my own and in retrospect, I should have been a bit more judicious in who I showed it to, as certain people saw fit to dig in the walls of my project like rats, looking for diamonds and what not. A little respect for other peoples work, please.

Dirk and I made a village and so did SevenFourNine
IMO Nighthawkie and Timmy SP should get towns aswell
I don't know if there are already more towns, since i dont have the portnumber -_-
And why these people?
Nighthawkie: He made Eurika probably the biggest city on the old map.
Timmy SP: he made rapture, wich looks amazing.

But yeh thats just my opinion

Well, we can make exceptions for this one time, i think
As long as you dont make your own city in your "dwarven fortress"

What about a mountain village and maybe cave village?

Anyways, love the idea. I really support this.

We already made 3 villages btw,
And we want nighthawkie to have the last one, if he wants to.
because he made eurika and the colloseum, so we know hes an experienced builder.

what are the 3 already?

I think you are forgetting the city of Iza Lake.

I didn't forget it, because iza lake is not a town.
its gonna be the capital city
so we got 4 towns and 1 capital city, remember ?

So we forget about the desert/underwater/forest cities ?

Seems we have too much towns already

Actually, we dont, atleast if no one lied to me.. But yeah. My town is near the ocean
Anyway so we will prolly expand into the sea, so dont worry , night has to build a town in
The desert, sadly, no one build a town in the snow..

Ok, I have an idea to handle towns and ghost towns.

There will be a limited number of towns. I think 1 capital, and 4-5 towns.

If people what to create a new town, then we have to decide one of the existing (inactive) town will become a "ghost town". We will vote with a poll on this forum.

Once a town is a ghost town, all sources of light are removed (torches and lanterns), you can take anything from the chests and burn/grief all you want (take building materials), it won't be restored. Also signs will be put every where to tell this is a ghost town, and nobody should build here anymore.

What do you think ?

That's a nice solution, but i'm trying my best to PREVENT people from making new towns now.
Since we already got 3, and i forgot to count green city with it
so we got 4, and we want nighthawkie to build the fifth, if he doesnt come on anytime this week, Nice will build the town in the desert near the old spawn.

That's the idea now.

sigh, i miss the old map, with its freedom...but i gues this is needed for a good server! Idea: a squad of people elected are to be ghost town explorers, and they run a shop in the capital city. they sell goods they find, but are limited to the surface of said ghost towns. OR they simply greif the ghost twon so it looks more adandoned and split up. Like ruins.

Ghost town may be defined as: a town that can occupy more than 4 people but has no one actively utilizing it or claiming it as an outpost on the forums. Ghost towns must be hack scoured by exploration team, then ruined after a sign is posted before normal people may come in to claim resources, If a person builds one building, adn claims it as a house, it is allowed obviously. If they build what looks like a village, but is really only for their use, and they haven't gone totally inactive, that is allowed. Hope my idea helps to inspire ideas

I think it should be more player driven. No limitations on the number of cities, but when we see a city is dead, like Eurika was, then we decide it becomes a ghost town. We can vote every week what town is dead. It would not apply for small houses, settlements, only real towns.

Also I love the idea of ghost town explorers, that would turn it into ruins

I have set-up a new Google Spreadsheet, where you can register your town, and the inhabitants. You can have a house in several towns at the same time.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkPNZfckAHKedC1sQWtjLUNMb1VmaUZqYmFNdUxnaWc&hl=en&authkey=CLWNntQG

you would have to set up regulations on how to build a city and who can build a city

i.e. must have 4 active residents who participate in the city/towns activities.
