Ajax - Fyra
Posted: 21 Apr 2011, 18:13
I've begun some very basic (and lonely) work on a town one Minecart ride south of the station at Fyra, left on arrival.
I understand The Shire has since been built nearby since my claim and roads to both areas are laid out and well sign-posted.
Feel like being part of a small-ish, simple (with room for expansion if needed) settlement in Fyra? I could definitely do with a hand. There are trees to cut down because I was stupid enough to set my eye on a rainforest biome (they're about half gone), a wall to finish building (foundations laid), land to level, further roads to lay etc etc.
I've already got daviejjd on board, my girlfriend'll be getting Mineraft soon (username Twist3d) and she'll be helping too. The idea is to be an easy-going Roman fort style place. Cobble is fine, lots of wood-plank usage would be good and obviously no dirt houses. Not to be a snob but I don't like one-material boxes for buildings so anyone here would have to use their imagination just a little bit to keep the place interesting.
Shops/taverns/churches/libraries/town hall at the front, houses at the back.
Think that's about it. Nothing grand, but quality over quantity.
For those of you who want to know, the town's name is based on Ajaccio, a place in Corsica where my grandfather was born and grew up.
EDIT: The settlement rules can now be read here - http://www.escapecraft.net/phpBB3/viewt ... ?f=5&t=697
EDIT: Walls done (spider-proof), main roads done, well-lit and more or less mob free (minus the occasional creeper). Several residents have already moved in and built some very nice properties about the town. We also now have a main watch tower, tavern, shop, church, public mine, small tree farm and the road out the back of town leads to a large keep courtesy of cjdabomb and daviejjd.
AJAX is officially open and welcoming residents. PLEASE read the rules AND speak to me BEFORE setting up!
