super497, Kurdman899 and I are making a medieval town at /home fireball4801 castle. It's no where near finished yet, but so far we have a small section bordered off with walls and filled with medieval germanic housing. We currently have a four houses each varying in size and shape, an inn, blacksmith's home/workspace, and a military watch tower/barrack. We plan to expand the walls quite a bit, making the area much larger, and the shape of it more complex than just a simple square. Eventually there are going to be many more buildings added such as a palace, a farm house with fields, a watermill, a barn with stables, church, courtyard, well, and many more houses. When you go to the home, you will teleport into a little viewing stand, which will be there until the project is complete and we apply for city protection. Donations are very appreciated as this will be a huge project for the three of us to collect for. Look out the viewing station and don't be afraid to give your honest opinion, we want to make this as amazing as we can.

Update:
We cleared a lot more space for the walled in area, now making it a perfect square, shoutout to mopar and isabella for helping with such. I started to build the walls and to new pillars for the new cleared out section, and those are coming along well however not completed. With this new space (doubling almost tripling our original space) We are now going to start some of the more major builds, including the watermill, church, barn/stables, and palace. If you have any ideas or suggestions about what we should make, pm on of us ingame or send me a message on here. Thanks to everyone who has supported us so far!
Cleared area:

Hopefully it does not meet the same end as osgiliath did

Otherwise nice build
--==Major Update==--
We've moved. It's been more than two months since this page was updated, and a lot has happened. We decided that the previous attempt was just plain awful. We had no planning involved, and made it right next to the world border which looked awful. So, we moved the location to the new member world:
New Reich Tal Ingis Location (http://smp.opticraft.net/map/#/-2103/64/20/-2/3/0)
The walls/location aren't quite finished yet. We have a little to go on one of the walls, as well as adding an entrance and changing the exterior appearance to this (https://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fassets-cloud.enjin.com%2Fusers%2F6157735%2Fpics%2Foriginal%2F2618097.jpg&hash=8025328c556e861ae74d0d2223750ee9)

super497, Kurdman899, and I have been hard at work designing new buildings to add to the space (as well as keeping some of the old)
Here are some of the builds we've decided to put in:

super497 is hard at work designing a castle to put into the walls. We have planned that inside the walls will consist of the castle and a few other key buildings, as well as homes for Elite (homes for purchase). Then there will be a trail leading from the entrance to a peasant village a little ways off. This will include a mill, granary, primitive blacksmith's, barn, watch towers, bell tower, and a bunch of peasant homes as above (may or may not be for sale); we are also going to attempt a palisade wall:

around at least part of this peasant village.
Update:
Finished residential area of the kingdom, consists of around 30-35 homes that will be available for purchase. Sizes range from very very small to very large, prices will change accordingly of course. In the market/military district, we are currently moving the tavern closer to the path, since there was way too much room in between. The inn/food market will remain how they are, minus a new roof item replacement to fit the rest of the kingdom. We will re-arrange the military buildings (barracks, archer training, and stables) to a more distinguished location, and fill the gaps with more market-like builds. The corner of the kingjavascript:void(0);dom adjacent to the residential and market/military districts will consist of a church, as well as a few unknown builds. We plan in the future to finish the castle (duh right) and create a Royal graveyard and garden. Thanks for all those who've supported us thus far!
