Well, me and a couple guys decided to have a go at making the Imperial City from Bethesda Softworks' popular game, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Its still very not constructed but things are getting along.
We got the Arboretum and Green Emperor Way done, and currently are working on the Arena, White Gold Tower (Big Tower in center), and the walls, which will be an ongoing project because it gets really boring. The stairs looks a bit wierd, but everyone has trouble building stairs at a 60 degree angle on Minecraft :sad.gif: .
Here are some screenies:
Imperial City
Arboretum
Green Emperor Way
One of the Walls
Don't mind me talking on the server IRC, my internet was playing up and I couldn't get on, got a friend to take them.
So, thats what we're doing, what do you think? Constructive Criticism is appreciated!
P.S. We used hacks, /cuboid or /fill or whatever it is where you came from (the thing that lets you fill loads of blocks) , the whole shebang. But just to let you know all the circles were hand drawn, and before you start spouting purist stuff, think about this, would you rather dig a hole with a shovel, or with your hands?
Oh and a last BTW, its not pixel perfect, I didn't make everything in EXACTLY the same spots, it would be way too hard and near impossible with the scale we are using :sad.gif:.
AWESOME! Though i have never played "Elder Scrolls" series, maybe i should get that sometime. Anyway I love these forums themed builds, there are some very dedicated builders playing this game. Hope to see more epicness! :biggrin.gif:
Ahh that sucks didn't know someone else was building one, oh well, best of luck to him, I'm gonna continue as well. His one will probably be better, he gets the dynamic lighting and all the chests and stuff.
Xesdra, can you post some pics of an aerial view (top-down, bird's eye, you know)? and a few other angles on the main imperial city tower? I'm trying to build it and would like to touch up on some blueprints. Btw, very nice work.
Is there a way to build The Imperial place in beta
It can be done in beta... it just takes a very, very long time to do.
Not to steal or advertise here, but the server I am on is currently making the Imperial city as well on a Beta server. Have to do all the mining and building with what we have.
Wow. Glad I Found This, My Server Is Working On A This Same Project But In 1.0.0 If You Would Like To Help That Would Be Awesome,

EDIT 1 17/6/10: I made a quick isometric image of the map. Ignore the random lines, they are for measurement and building stuff.

You can see the credits board and the list of helpers, but the main builders are me and ollieboy!
Then again he's already due to explode when notch decapitates the saves (Not that the decapitation bothers me)
I'm sure someone will make a converter by then.
