And two of the primary roads are done. Right now they're just simple cobblestone roads following the terrain. Their placement should be as described on the plan.

It's been a long while but seeing the new project I thought I should lend a hand. I'm done for the night but I've left all the excess materials in the group chests. The last thing I did was to get a load of pork, cook it, and leave it in one of the double chests by the sample wall; Help yourself.

The temporary line between the Mines and the City is completed and working. The line between spawn and the City is not yet begun. There are rails in my chest in the Mines, feel free to use them to make a temporary railway between spawn and the City.

Naxza and I spent a good bit of time spelunking today - we lit a good bit of cave and returned with a nicely sized load of materials.

Hey, would you guys be able to set up a few dozen furnaces and start smelting some smoothstone? I won't be on for a while, but when I next log in, I'll be starting the wall, which will require ungodly amounts of both smooth and cobblestone, so any help would be appreciated in prepping the materials

Swatteam2 is my RL friend and he came over to my house anf I showed him the server. He is a really good builder and interior desginer.

I'll do some excavating when I'm on later. How is the desert coming?

[electronics]

I've just finished the desert =D

[sizeak]

Awesome!

I would greatly appreciate it if someone were to post a current map of the server. We just spent a few hours laying markers and I'd like to verify their placement before anyone builds more roads.

[PTTG??]

I'll put up a fresh one sometime today.

If we are still thinking about a 'steampunk'-esque theme, I have some possible design inspirations.

I was thinking about the city hall design and was thinking a half-circular, half 'roman-esque' design would be neat, then I realized I was stealing the idea directly from a piece of architecture - London Temple Church

While looking for references on further ~19th century London Architecture, I encountered these links with photographs/drawings.
Photographs of London streets
A more complete version of the above
Wikipedia
Examples of High Victorian Gothic (~19th century) London architecture
A specific 19th century building
A painting of some of London's docks

I'm thinking that some of these results are later in the century than others - for example the docks picture doesn't match with the photographs very well. But the general style seems to be covered under 'Victorian' or 'High Victorian Gothic' architecture, at least for that period. The photographs of the London streets, in particular, look like what I'd expect in the city - but we seem to have a lot more roads than London did in that era.

[dragonshardz]

The City has been named - Eisenhauge. And the associated castle is Castle Eisenwulf.

Progress is going well on roads and walls. Once we're done with that, I'll begin the project proper, have everyone claim blocks and build.

Spoiler: Project Map with roads (click to show/hide)

Yeah, very grid-like.

I suggest following the terrain with the roads, where possible.
