The Hollows lag so much that admins have to teleport people out of them.
Founding a new nation would require us to raze the current one and lose the 100K odd crowns that we've invested in it.
The tower thing belongs to Kbslayer and Archwing, it's still under construction.
The reason the island looks so crap is because we spend most of our time working on our settlements abroad, and there was that whole period where the entire nation consisted of Andrea, Maunoir and I.
And I'm not sure what you mean by the wierd lava thing.
Ouch.
I knew it wouldn't be simple or easy by any means, but if there was a genuinely better area it might be worth it.
I knew the tower was still under work, but from what I've seen so far it looks more like a squat keep with a pointed roof than a proper tower. Then again, from what I've seen it's made entirely out of cobble, and supposedly they're completely redesigning it to have hardly any, so who knows. And I didn't get a very close look to begin with.
How many settlements do we have abroad, anyway?
It's... got a circle at the top, and there's four (I think?) lava flows coming off it. I haven't gone and checked it out up-close, but I couldn't figure out what the hell it was from the island.
Also, what's the deal with our shared/future shared settlement with The Wall? Is there some sort of city plan or aesthetic or something? Is there anything more complicated about the deal than "it's an X/Y settlement instead of an X settlement?"
