Many of you may not know that i have a castle/medieval themed village started so this thread is to let you guys know about it as well as to get some possible input, suggestions, future villagers, and who knows wut else.
First things first, THE NAME. I am not sure wut to name this village right now and am looking for inspiration/suggestions because i instantly wanna go with something related to my name but i want this to be a good place and not an evil one. So if you have any ideas or suggestions let me know.
Right now all i have done is a MASSIVE main building castle and outer wall which really is not done at all and is just the basic structure. This building consist (or will) of 4 towers on the corners to keep an eye on the village, 4 LARGE squarish areas between those which will have "apartments" for those who do not wish to buy a house/shop or be a soldier/knight (more on that later), a library/garden, Main entrance, possible public kitchen and storage area, A MASSIVE central chamber which will be used for any parties, dinning, entertainment, or general badassory, a large tower is atop the center which i may rent out large circular rooms which have a nice view and my chambers/lab at the top (after we update to 1.2 i might renovate and make it much much taller), and lastly there might be some more space added to the second lvl of the castle for more rooms or other spaces if needed/suggested.
The castle will be protected by a large wall with working portcullises, draw bridges (only the main gate is done right now), 4 or more towers, possible working cannons, and the good old mote. I have thought about covering the outer side of the wall in lava as well. pvp and building is off within the walls but after we get some more villagers this might be changed. We may possibly have an army if ppl are interested (more on this later)
Enough about wut is done and onto wut i would like to happen.
My plan for this village is to get more then just myself involved in the building process making it that much more of a unique village. Structures will have to fit in with the theme however looking medievalish and using some of the similar blocks in the main structure and i will have final say on weather a building fits in or is good enough and can tweak things if necessary (i am not the best at MC so wut you come up with will most likely be fine).
The way you will be allowed to build is after i build roads in the village i will then divide the area into lots at which point you can perches a lot from me and build a house or a shop (still more to come). Other structures would need to be discuses about beforehand.
This village will need to feel like a real town there for will need all the shops you would find. So if you want to build a shop you can request which kinda shop you would like to build and then choose weather it will be a server shop like one from the market or one that you stock yourself and can possibly make some money. I would also encourage you to build a second lvl below or above and build your living space/apartment (which i might let you resell) there so that you wont have to buy 2 lots (if you wish to have a shop and a house i might go half off on the second lot).
We will need the following shops built:
Black smith
bakery
block shop (will have to be a server shop)
potion/magic shop
Stable?
Mining shop (ores and wut not)
Pawn shop
Farm shop/land (more later)
and anything i am missing lol
So if you would like to run one of these let me know. Also, those of you who get involved early on and help farm the blocks and resources needed to finish the buildings and walls not apart of your lot could have you lot fees waved :~D
If the need arises that we need more land then is currently within the walls i might ask the admins to extend the village protection past the walls (or make it separate) to allow more lots and farm land around the kingdom that will be cheaper because it is not as well protected. If we somehow get so many ppl that this is necessary we can build another outer wall to protect this as well.
As i said before there might be an army involved with this village and we will need soldiers. If you wanna be apart of the army and probably be called a knight let me know. If there is an interest in this then all soldier/knights will be given a basic apartment in the main building, possible salary (might have to charge a small tax like a normal kingdom for this :~P), possible access to places normal villagers wont have (amazing exp farm ect...), possibly be fitted with armor and potions at times of war/battle, be required to protect villagers as well as keep them in line, and if we get enough ppl hunt down griefers, raid other towns (if agreed because i think that is in the rules), and/or be apart of village wars. I believe this would be the first village on the server that would be possible to fight in a server war but if we can get more members to join the server this could be really fun having 2-3 other village armies. If this really takes off we can go into more details in an army discussion about ranks, roles/classes, and wut not. Or this idea will be rejected and it wont happen lol.
I believe this is enough to get the ball rolling on my village. I have said a lot so feel free to post and comments, concerns, or questions in this thread or /m dark in game. If you would like to request/reserve a shop or lot now let me know here or in game as well. The sooner you get involved in the construction of the village the more impact you will probably have on it.
I am sure this is really messy and hard to understand seeming how i am writing this after a night of no sleep so i will probably be editing this post to try and clean stuff up and add ppls suggestions.
