In the middle of the 16 rooms, you should build a hug tower that goes up to your throne/private quarters and you should have like a balcony to watch over your klingdom :biggrin.gif:
I am in awe. This is fantastic, and you have just officially sold me on wooden floors. I need to go tree farming...
Just. Wow. Keep it up, I hope I get to share a server with you in SMP :smile.gif:

"Most countries are static, and they need to do is keep having babies. But America's like this big old clanking smoking machine that just lumbers across the landscape scooping up and eating everything in sight."
This is insane.
I would suggest backing it up NOW. So many great projects have been lost to a freeze, or a corruption.
Making backups will save you from having to start over.
Just today, i lost a small extension to my fort. I'd hate to see this thing just disappear
If I were to make an epic fort, I would be naming it something other than my minecraft Alias.
Fort Kexai
Fort ZettaTangent
Fort Zearotan.
Fort Kexaihami (Kaiemahi Scrambled with an x, I also use this is an alias)
Wow. Projects like this really make me want to buckle down and build something bigger than a 20x20 house.
Does it extend underground any? It would be even more epic with a 5-story dungeon that has a giant pit in the middle with bridges randomly crossing it and a lavafall straight through the middle.
Thanks for all the nice comments, they really make me want to finish this right away! Glad you guys like the alternating wood pattern. I had build a whole castle out of that pattern on creative, but if I built the main structure like that on alpha then it would just get burnt down.
@putdownthreads, Yea that's mostly my plan. I am making four main floors. The top floor will have sort of like a grassy courtyard and four rivers, with bridges and decorations. But in the very center will be the tallest tower, which will be the main suite. This will be my tower home, but it could be used as the server owners/admins room as well.
@kyle273, I make sure to back my save up everyday. And on fridays, I back it up a lot because of the updates. I have saved all of the old saves too, so I have a nice time line.
@Hydralisk, so when Notch updated his mob spawning code, mobs starting spawning on top of my towers. And I thought it would look bad if I just had torches on top of the towers, so I replaced four blocks on every tower with glass, and put torches underneath the glass. I can post a pic if you would like.
@MomizerRox, A cafeteria/mess hall is something I'm planning on making one of the rooms on the third floor.
@Randomone, so far, there is nothing underground yet. I want to make an epic underground eventually, but it'll take me awhile. I was hoping to maybe make a things like a courtroom?, jail cells, subway station, and boat canal/docks. But all of that is for the future, not soon.
Oh and I am basically done the third floor. I'm gonna finish the third floor roof today and try and as much of the fourth floor as I can too.
Make sure you take regular backups!!
I had the second game in a row crash on me now, corrupting my savegame. And both times were on maps where I was attempting to do something of a larger proportion.
edit: and it crashed just after I mined a huge hole (quarry), just before my next backup-taking... I'm not motivated to replaying from my last backup.. yet..
Mm, I'd consider giving it a new name.
Something manly or intimidating, preferably.
Like, Fort Defiance, Fort Stormhold, Fort Rockfall, something like that.
I am finished three complete floors! I'm working on the fourth floor right now, but I figured I would post what I have finished so far. Hopefully the whole castle will be done pretty soon, though. So lets get to the pictures!
This is the floor I constructed over top of the 2nd floor ceiling. I didn't want the wool ceilings to be the floor too, and it's nice to have that stone protection.
I also build four sets of stairs up to the third floor. I like having a lot of ways to get up a building.
Next, I constructed the walls of the third floor, creating four different rooms, and four nice hallways. The four towers are attached at the end of the hallways, but I am still working on those.
Then, this is the floor I have been working on. It took a lot of stone since all those half-blocks are two stone each, and if you delete them, you only get one back.
This is the view from floor 1 to floor 4, in the very center.
I'm amazed. I thought my project was at least sort of impressive, or took sort of a long time to build, or was sort of well done. This majorly overshadows anything I even thought of making. Kudos, man! I love the little details you put in to your work to make it work right- the checkered floor, the porches, the concentric octagon ceiling, the double-thick ceilings to make sure everything is perfect for its own floor, the LEGIT lava moat... wow. Just wow.

Especially if you locate it at 0,0,0 :smile.gif:
Good luck clearing out the adminium and making it so that you can find it at "0,0,0" without falling off the map.

CAUSE I'M AWESOME.

I'd put any fort on a hill though

No hacking of any kind. I don't even have a program downloaded to do it.

If you're ever looking for a clan in MPS, let me know. The RMM is always looking for skilled players like yourself.
Skills of your magnitude would translate well into real life.
