Greeting man, woman, tyran, vampire, demon or otherwise!
Altera wants you!
if you havnt already, do read this
If you have then you already know that Altera is under attack! Queen Grief has broken out of her mind prison and has brought chaos and death to Hollowworld! The kings are hard at work to seal away the entrance to the nether, in order to stop the flood of the armies of naught. However brute force, nerves of steel, advanced magics, unwavering courage and dashing good looks only go so far. We need you! yes i mean you! to aid in the effort to stop the forces of Queen Grief.
Now for this serious bit.
At the current point in time, vangarrett(assuming he agrrees) and I are the lead architects on the fortress city we shall build. Therefore, we will be collaborating with the kings and Kings hands, to determine what we wish to build. We will also collaborate with any new Head architects and any ideas are greatly apreciated.
Firstly there will be a large chasm around the portal with someform of deathtrap at the bottom of it. A wall will stand around that chasm, leaving armies no room to grasp. This means that the wall will be extremely sheer.
The wall itself will probably be built by solely the mods and admins and the architects(Maybe) so as to make sure the whole wall is the same design. After that, we want you to get creative. We want you to build. Now we aint talkin some nambi pambi wussy inn or a nice safe log cottage. We want fortifications! we want barracks, hospitals garrisons armories training grounds the works! They will be placed outside the main wall. The fortress city (Most likely) will be split into sectors.
Imagine a circle. That is the nether protal and the chasm around it. Outside of that circle is a ring. This is the wall. Outside that circle is sector 1. This will contain largely millitary garrions, because if the wall fails, these will be the first under attack. Then outside there will be a smaller wall. Outside that is sector 2. The wall dividing sectors 1 and 2 will have only 2 entrances/exits. These will be sealed with redstone piston gates. The gates themselves will require a combination lock where the levers are placed in different buildings within that sector. Sector 2 will contain mostly barracks and hospitals, so that if the wall fails and sector 1 is attacked, the wounded may be moved quickly into sector 2, and the barracks may reinforce the garrisons. Then there will be another wall, and sector 3, which will contain nobility quarters, a few barracks and the training grounds, which will provide a steady source of soldiers for the army garrisoned at this place.(Needs a name, Someone make a thread for ideas, and then make a poll)
These are the basic plans, but we need you to build them.
Prefered materials
Obsidian: extremely strong, with a flat surface without hand holds, will most likely be used for the walls.
Stone: we all know it, stone is strong. hard to break and fire resistant.
Cobblestone:this is not as strong as stone, and doesnt look as good so lets make this to only pathways and the bases of buildings
Brick: Stronger even then stone, brick takes a long time to break and is also fire resistant. However if you wanna use brick, u had better have enough, a half brick half stone building looks awkward.
Iron Block: Whats stronger than iron? Very strong and fire resistant, however also expensive.
Diamond Block: Our enemies, the destroyers have a strange vulnerability to diamonds. They cant touch them. Diamond to a corruptor is like cold iron to a faerie. If you place a block of this, the corruptors will be unable to remove it whatsoever, but it is massively expensive.
Stone slabs: these for nice sturdy stairs, and can act as wall reinforccements when placed 2 on top of each other.
NO DIRT GRAVEL OR SAND! the enemy are the corruptors, the destroyers! these materials take very few hits until they are destroyed.
USE VERY LITTLE WOOD AND WOOl wood and wool are vulnerable to one of the corruptors favorite weapons, fire. If walls and buildings are built with these the enemy will burn through us.
The pathways through the city, shall be treacherous, we will need redstone architects, and lots of them. Personally i am exceptional with redstone, as are betty and sonkiro. We will probably supervise trap and door creation.
Vangarrett is good with building keeps, walls fortresses etc. If you need inspiration or help go to him.
**New section:
Gentlemen! The time will come very soon for you to serve your country! Our most recent intel reports say that there is a nether portal somewhere far to the south craddled within a valley surrounded by mountains. Our enemies are gathering, we expect the full assault within the month! Untill then they will doubtless be sending scouts and raiding parties. Therefore the esteemed Knights of the North Wind will be protecting the workers while we build the fortress.
Therefore! Start amassing materials! The kings will lay the foundation and Ducati will enchant it to make sure that every building we create there will be strong. Until such time as they finish the base we are forbidden from building there!
We need every able bodied citizen to help us defeat Queen Grief!
I will be posting a diagram soon of what this should about look like(the layout of sectors)
Fitz i need screencaps of the area around the portal, both ingame and on the map.
