OOC big thread of human Ideology (READ)

[TheRedNinja 30]

This thread is for a few things all of them having to deal with the human race and the new world in general.

1. Post any ideas you have for either the human nation or towns.

2. Post what you want to see in the new world.

3. Anything having to do with the humans.

Or if you want to help with the building,planing,lore, ect Send me a Pm on the forums, add me on skype, or email me. If you have grand ideas it may be easier for you to write them down and send me a link/file(google docs, Microsoft word, ect).

My info, make sure you use your minecraft name or use "my epic lotc idea for the humans" or "my app for the build team".

What do you think of the enviroment of Oren in the new world?

Cold? Foresty? Mountains?

[TheRedNinja 30]

All of those you listed basically.

Snowy mountains sloping down into a cold wet forest.

[firespirit44 1323]

What would be the lore for the humans settling in the cold regions of the north? I was under the assumptions all Northerners were wiped out with the fall of Alstion and Snowy Fields, and only southerners remained.

[Archmage_Cataris 622]

^ Then why did Cataris survive for many years after? :P I see Northerners all the time

I have a lot of ideas for the new world, I'll make a nice post about it when I get home.

I'm mainly interested in the planning of the cities, to make them look a lot more natural, instead of the current layouts and I also have some ideas for the human economy. (Not that I can't build, but that takes up a lot of time I could otherwise spend rp'ing)

[Trouvo 205]

i think it will be difficult to build a northern city high up on mountains tho unless they change the build height, at least any grand kind of city, like i have designed for lunavara

[Aryon 679]

Perhaps we could make a military castle on the top of a snowy mountain? Just a mere idea. Since I am the Royal Guard right now, I was thinking about creating a force of Royal Guards. Oh, and are you becomming king again?

[Pepernoot 51]

You can build a city, or at least a town in the mountains (without flattening the terrain, like you did in Lunavara) it's not easy, and you can't have the capital there, but you can most certainly do it. It'd be ideal for a small snowy mining town.

(Remember that not all towns need enormous walls!)

[Trouvo 205]

lol i know peppernoot, just IC the safety of the people is of the upmost importance, the larger the walls the safer they are? lol, but i think it would depend on the size of the mountain and the space available, i know notch did make it easier to raise the world height so im sure it is an option, also i would prefer not to flatten the place out, but i usually build structure first then aesthetics later so seeing it built and flat gives a good idea of the size and spacing, but we also flattened it out on our kingdom page to allow for enough height, so that the keep could be seen from every part of the city, which i think makes it look much more elegant, ive had a few ideas about building a keep on a mountain, and partly in the mountain but the height requirements of y 128 are very limiting to making something as epic as i have imagined it to be

[Pepernoot 51]

Larger walls don't mean more safety, the walls are only needed in the event of war, and then it's easier to defend, and more economic, to make a smaller inner town, protected by walls not 15 but 6 to 8 blocks high.

Why would you build walls that are more expensive than the things they're protecting? It's idiotic to build a wall around your farms (for example), as they can be replanted in a short time with minimal costs.

[xca0 3]

i would like a city on a mountainside with waterfalls and rivers flowing through every street in the city. Something like the city of Markarth in Skyrim :D

The people inside those walls will always be of far greater value than a wall y128 high and 50 blocks thick. Also, Lunavara doesn't seem to be going for "as cheap as a city could be". They aren't cutting corners, they are making a city before all cities. I, for one, see they're plans highly appealing and if possible, will be a citizen among them. They are making the kind of plans I want the humans to be making.

[Cossair 35]

I'd love to help build and write lore. I build most of the new buildings in Al'Khazar anyway. I'll submit a build app later.

Also, ACCEPT TROUVO! Lunavara is a magnificent city, and I would love to see Trou's work included in the nee map.
