The Building Of the Imperial City: Diggin is DONE!

I'm pretty grateful Vallorn asked that. I died for the first time a day or two ago and haven't had the will to log back in and run all that way. Will ask when in game.

Small Update.

Im am really impressed with all the work done. We are moving mountains.

Keep it coming guys and gals =D

2 massive overhangs gone by my hand!

FOR THE EMPARAH! (atacks overhang No3)

Saladus · Post by **Saladus** » 16 Mar 2011, 14:20

I've been creating some steps here and there to lead up to some overhangs. We're doing great on the Y 9 level for the ground, but there's still a lot of overhangs that need to be worked on.

I have a question. It's been pestering me since I noticed it just vanished. A while ago I uncovered what looked like some kind of in-ground hotel while mining at the IC site. What happened to it? I can't imagine it being in the actual Imperial City...

Also, when TnT is reimplemented in the server, will people who work on the project (obviously they will have to be trusted individuals) get access to TnT to speed up the clearing?

That was destroyed with extreme prejudice.

Once the bugs are sorted out, veteran players will be allowed to use TNT for land clearing.

BTW, if someone's gone to the trouble to turn lava into obsidian, is it there for the taking, or should it be assumed to be claimed?

Sometimes you can get natural obby from springs managing to cover some nearby lava lake

Does this mean that we'll have to gather our own materials for the tnt (as this is a survival server), or will it be provided for the sake of getting this project done in my lifetime? Also, if we do have to gather it ourselves, would anyone mind helping me build a mob trap of decent size (if there isn't one publicly available already).

I think there are about 5 that i know of and 2 of those are in corinth

Post by **vallorn** » 18 Mar 2011, 12:02

the ones i know of are
Public:
Thundermans "Twin Towers of ugly" which have suffered a massive drop in output recently.

the Briarton Tower (so long as you dont touch the chests)

Private:

Herpmyderp and Mydrox's Flower Tower. near impossible to get to and one of the best looking buildings in Escapia AND it shoves out drops at a phenomenal rate *currently under renovation*

there are defiantly more but these are the ones ive visited.

Post by **MKindy** » 18 Mar 2011, 12:12

Yeah, I did find some natural obsidian, but the one I saw yesterday was a lava pool I had previously uncovered, which someone had willfully obsidianified. I don't want to mine it without knowing it's okay to do so.

cleared 40 stacks tonight, will do some tomorrow after coursework.

Wearing out diamond picks like no one's business. Will go faster though once tnt is abled again. just have to take a trip to the good ol' mob trap.....

Post by **vallorn** » 20 Mar 2011, 08:13

im taking care of the main overhangs on the western cliffs but thier the biggest so i need some help.

also ive just worn through my 4th diamond pick... and 2nd shovel.

Me and Steelreefer are working on the west side of the IC tower.

It's turning out REALLY fun to work on IC. It's my new hobby

The payment method is brilliant and surely pushes people to work more. I don't do it for the diamonds, but for the fact you see the chests and you know we're giving it our best!

Any chance we could get an idea of how far out from the inner wall we need to clear? From what I've seen online, the next section out (with all the residential and trade districts etc) looks to be about twice as wide. If we had an idea of how far out to mine these walls down, it may help save us from wasting time from mining too far. I've noticed some mining really far out from the center on Y level 9, when I don't think the city stretches out nearly that far.

Post by **Blackadder51** » 23 Mar 2011, 08:44

about 450 out words, We have markers at 500 by 500 .

0.0 is White Gold Tower.

MORE MINING!

Uuuuuuh, mining party? Haha.

Hmm curious, why outward 450? Seems way overkill unless I'm missing something... are we including landscape around the City? From measuring the grass area between the outer wall that we have up, and the inner wall (the raised area before the council chamber) I measured 16 blocks. For reference I then took the map here at this location http://www.oblivionwalkthrough.com/w/m/ ... l_city.png . To get it to approximately the same scale to use grid for measuring, I shrunk it down to 16%. Based off that scaling, I measured that the city should by roughly 220 x 220 (rough estimation). I can understand clearing some area past that, but I feel like I'm missing something here.

Post by **Zinrius** » 23 Mar 2011, 19:25

I love the new fire system you implemented in the payroom, thanks for the consideration on the idea

Looks pretty cool.

We're including the lake around the city and the bridge. Your calculations also don't include the other 3 districts that we're building (Arcane University, Waterfront and Prison/Garrison).

Saladus · Post by **Saladus** » 24 Mar 2011, 06:48

Ahhh I see I was literally only thinking of the main city itself. I COMPLETELY forgot about those extra districts. It's obviously been too long since I've played Oblivion. Thanks!

Post by **vallorn** » 24 Mar 2011, 07:44

i vote that once weve finnished this we build the island of Vvardenfell from Morrowind.

Post by **Skunk_Giant** » 24 Mar 2011, 07:58

We build a Halo... From... (I bet you can't guess what game)

I can set up a Layer 12 Mine. Layer 12 is notorious for finding lava, diamond, and other useful stuff.
