I am reluctant to share an incomplete project but I might add an older save-file, like from a few months ago. It would be great to get some feedback from someone whos seen it first hand.
Im always looking for medieval building tips and tricks it would be nice to see what you have up close first hand. Looks amazing from the few pics posted

Thank you very much
I love walking around half-finished maps... Looking at what you have to do. That way I can look at it and if you do it wrong we can all scream at you xD. Just kidding... Maybe.

It would be great if you could give me some feedback.
As mentioned, I am reluctant to show of a half-finished project. So to feel better about it Ill share an older version.
The savefile is dated 21/6 so its not up to date. I`ve since decided to make a proper kingdom of it so a lot of hours have been spent building villages, farms, a citadel and such in the surrounding areas. The save is like 20% bigger today. I`ll post an update in a few days showing all of that.
The city is heavily WIP, a lot is unfinished and interiors lacking. This extends to doors, wich I haven`t bothered with, save for a few shelters. So if you go adventuring, bring some doors. There are chest all over, resources plentiful and diamond armour and tools come included
This is the majority of the world as of 21.06.13
And if you do find anything you like or could use yourself, I would appreciate some credit
Note: The save crashed about 8 months ago. After the panic and rage phase burnt out I managed to salvage it by swapping the dat and index files. This has led to some unusual effects on the map. The spawn is in the middle of a lake, weird terrain when new is rendered and such. The stats are messed up as well. And no, I didn`t mine all that.. I cheated for resources.
After reviewing my long list of neglected work and half builds around the map, I decided to actually finish something. My southern village is now considered complete. I`ve added some housing, a stable and a couple of farms. A planned boatyard was dropped and moved elsewhere. For once I feel I have enough buildings.
The village with no name
The larger farm and a very noob attempt at a windmill. Its meant to be a panemone type windmill. It is not really good though so it will probably be replaced sometime. I will probably plant more crops but it really takes a lot of time.
The main farm
A smaller farm
This is a typical building that appears along major roads or serves as outpost around the map. I`ve built a few of these. They have chests stacked with supplies and often serves as hubs for future expansions.
I`ve also finished some stuff in my two major cities and have spent far to much time on a citadel on the eastern edge of the explored world.
This is a distance view looking east. It is much bigger than the picture implies this is only a section of it. I am half-way now it seems, and not happy with it so far. Some demolition is in order.
Still building and will post updates as the world continues to grow. Ideas and feedback is always welcome
* I have tried to put spoiler tags on my posts but fail, epicly
I had my first go at a proper windmill today. Unsure about the result but considering its my first I`m happy for now. Its part of a newly started farm to the north of the main city. I`m currently renovating the old-town of Thermostadt and started this farm on impulse. 5 hours work
My city started up some two years ago at this location. As such the area has become somewhat outdated. The area has been dominated by two rather large buildings wich were my first attempts at building something epic, both failed miserably. Due to the scale and materials involved (brick), getting rid of them has been put off for a long time. I finally got around to demolishing them, I died several times and spent hours getting all that brick away, but in the end it was quite worth it.
The site of my first miserable "cathedral/temple" has now become a major park or square surrounded by new and larger buildings, including a library, a hotel and a gentlemans-guild. The city has expanded further north-east as such.
The brick tower has been replaced by a slimmer one more fitting with the fantasy-.theme of the city in general. I`ve also finished of a lot of detailing such as doors, interiors and roads. I`ve even started furnishing houses. The end result is a large part of the city nearly completed. I confess to suck at decorating, both interiors and squares, markets and so on, So its not complete, yet..

The cyan-topped tower is the new replacement. The library is seen in the background, its quite large.

The Citadel
At the eastern edge of the continent I started building a citadel some time ago. I haven`t done anything with it for the last month or so because I can`t figure it out. It was intended to be smaller but has grown out of hand. The size is about a small village.. I`ve done about 50-60% but I may have to demolish parts of it as it really doesn`t look good IMO. It boasts an impressive floorspace. The walls are hollow and will be filled with small marketws, rooms and so on.
It connects to Thermostadt by road, a few minutes walk.

The main hall. A lot of interior work to be done. I don`t know what to do with all this space. Suggestions are welcome.
So yeah.. Thats pretty much it. I`ve done a lot of work across the map and started up some other projects. I`ve also finished up some sloppy work on a lot of houses and done a lot of detailing in general. The map has gotten a lot bigger, and the city continues to grow
Hope you like it and feel free to drop some feedback, I need the input.
That main hall of the citadel reminds me of Dragonsreach in Skyrim. That's a good thing. I also really like the WIP market square. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like from the angle you're showing in that picture, all you need to do is throw in some small market stalls and it'll look finished. Also, the new cyan tower is just great. Good work, as always!

Skyrim you say? I keep seeing references to that game, usually in connection to something good. Perhaps I should check it out.
As to the market, your suggestion is a good one. I`ll try it out.
South of Thermostadt, across the bay, lies a large relatively flat area I `ve always intended for a major city. I started a city there a long time ago but have struggled to decide on style. Nothing has really worked there. Until now it has really been a playground for different techniques, none of them really pleasing. After playing around with sandstone a bit the other day I suddenly decided on something and went on a building spree.
The area had a decent size beach but is mainly grass plains. I have to terraform by hand I want a desert setting to it as the building style is sort of a mix of oriental/scandinavian/arabic/comic elements. So far I`ve done around 4000+ blocks, and it is really boring. As usual this build is heavily WIP.
I`ve nearly finished the eastern residental areas, some towers and smaller temples. I am currently working on the larger builds of the city centre I`ll update on later.
Anyways, here it is
As seen from Thermostadt
The cobblestone-roofed buildings to the right will be demolished and replaced.

I need a proper name for the city eventually but for now the working title is Al-Blocka. Ideas are welcome on the name. Any feedback on the build so far would be welcome.
After a half year more or less off the game I started building again a month ago. I`ve done a lot of work.
A large number of older buildings have been demolished and replaced or upgraded. The main city has gotten a new district, a harbour, shipyard, some farms and odd buildings. Other projects have been finished and new ones started. A lot of terraforming is done.
Everything is still built in vanilla Beta 1.7.3, survival. But I ran it in a more updated version for some shaders and render distance. It pleases the eye
Anyways
North Western Harbour District
All new buildings, the shipyard needs some small work but thats it
As for ideas, i would say you need a giant castle. Every world needs a giant castle.
Thank you Its gotten quite big now, and keeps on growing. And I agree, a giant castle is definitely called for. I`m actually working on something like that right now..
Thanks, I just might do that

Not sure about this one..
All in a days work. The farm will be expanded.
So, any good windmill suggestions?
