Quick Guidelines for Meeting Tier Requirements:For full guidelines please see the VillageCraft Wiki page: https://www.villagecraft-server.com/wiki/villages/tiers#guidelines-meeting-tier-requirements- For Staff to consider a requirement to have been met,
a structure should have a design with style and effort put into it.-
Special requirement structures should additionally have 3 distinct features that convince the Staff member it is indeed that structure, so that they can check it off the requirement list. If Staff feel your village has not met the requirements to advance a tier, they will tell you and may give you advice on how to succeed.
Quick Guidelines:A - All Structures:A design with style and effort put into it (this is at Staff discretion - we won't allow cobble/dirt cubes to pass as a structure).
B - Specially-Required Structures:At least 3 features that convince the Staff member that it is indeed that structure.
-
Example 1: A
food production building could be a
bakery, and the 3 features could be a
big oven, a
kitchen with work stations, and a reception or
sitting area for visitors.
-
Example 2: A
civic building could be a
post office, and the 3 features could be a
reception desk,
mail boxes, and a
sorting room.
-
Example 3: An
attraction could be a
fairground, and the 3 features could be a
flower garden, a
parkour course, and a
stage.
Use your own creativity and style, and
convince us that you've put some effort into your work so your village can advance in the tiers!
C - Embassies:An embassy is considered complete when it has
at least 4 of the following features:
-
Flag of Village (Banner, decorated)
-
Map of Village (On display)
-
Armor Stand people (owners of Village, significant figure, or someone in the theme)
-
Signs explaining the Village (The history, a description, an ad, or explain relation to Village the Embassy is in)
-
Decorated reception desk (example: worker, book or computer, flower pot)
-
Ambassador's office-
Residence or inn rooms(Bypassing these feature requirements may be permitted when a significant unique alternative design is done instead, by Staff discretion.)
Embassies in both respective villages must be complete for the Village Tier requirements to be met. Embassy-to-embassy warp signs can then be added by Staff members by request. Villages may request warp signs be dismantled at any time.
Tirinuvik Public Village has an embassy zone, and will offer a
free embassy to any Town (Tier 3) or higher that has built a completed embassy in Tirinuvik.-------
