Please note that the buildings are made of stone work (Smoothstone, Cobblestone, Stone Bricks) because it's authentic to the architecture style I'm trying to represent. If it hurts your eyes, you do not need to comment about that. Instead, talk about something you like, or something else I can change to make the city better.
Hey guys,
I'm here to show you my next town, Arstenia. Its architecture is heavily influenced by the Gothic design of the 13th century.
----------
The story:
Shortly after people started living in and creating Robane, some citizens branched off to roam and adventure in other areas. They didn't get too far when they came across a large grassy field, and they founded Arstenia. Being great stonemasons and architects, they started building, and even helped the citizens of Robane complete their wall, they docks, and pave their roads clean.

Your buildings are awesome with one downfall. Way 2 much cobble/stonebricks as they are both the same colour. This doesn't do any justice to the depth you have on the sides and walls of your buildings.
the heavy use of cobblestone makes it a bit harsh on the eyes, but the architecture is great otherwise
I completely agree with them. A possible solution would be to change the roofs to wood rather than stone brick stairs. That would at least add some form of contrast to the otherwise pure stone architecture.
See the thing is about the cobble: It needs to be like that for authenticity. I can't change any parts of the exteriors to wood unless I want to transition from Gothic to Stave or Timber-frame. Gothic architecture was almost purely stonework.

I forgot the pictures originally. Sorry about that; they're up now!
