OP: Hey guys, I just started working on a cool medieval styled medieval port city on creative mode. Eventually I want to get it to be really big and make it into a server. So far though, I have finished some of the docks, a lighthouse, a few shops, and a tavern/inn. Check out the pictures and let me know what you guys think I need all the feedback I can get to make this really awesome
Also if you would like to see some tutorials on how to make the buildings in the city here's a link to my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.c...e?feature=guide
Update 5/5/13
Added some changes to the map and made an interior for the castle. Also updated the world download as well.
Update 3/9/13
It is done!!!
Also I made a cinematic video
Update 12/3/12
Not much has changed, but check it out.
Update 11/18/12
Update 11/9/12 Videos
UPDATE 11/2/12
So it's still very much a work in progress, but I have the castle mainly done, but I don't know if I want to keep the look of it or change it a little. That's pretty much the only major change so far.
UPDATE: 10/27/12
Added some towers and expanded the docks
ORIGINAL POST
Bird's eye view, excluding lighthouse
Lighthouse and complete view of city so far
Harbor/docks
A few of the buildings so far, housing, shops, and an inn/tavern
maybe searching some european medieval city that has existed in real life
I thought about that, but I feel like if I named the city after a real city it won't look anything like the real thing. I just need like a made up name, so that way it won't be compared to a real city of the same name.
Sounds cool, but more of a fantasy like name. I was looking for a more European sounding name though. Maybe something like Thalheim or Dolkier, I still don't know though.
This looks really nice. You might want to build some boats in the docks there, or maybe level out the hills on the side of the docks and build a dry dock with a ship "under construction". Also, a wall around the city would be nice.

I had thought about that. I tried to build a small ship construction area as you can see in the update pic, but it was too small so I'll have to make one big one instead of some small ones. About the hill, that freaking sob, I tried to level it out in mcedit, but the hill goes around the town so it looked horrible. Now there's a small road running along the bottom and a castle on the top.
okey maybe a translation from enlish to latin: ''venatus'' it means gamer in latin you could try to translate different things until you find something you like.
That's an awesome idea, I didn't think about that! Venatus sounds cool, but I'll look around and see if there's another cool one. Thanks!
The roof...i bet those took longer then anything else. The way you line up the stairs and all...I'm starting to think Minecraft got rid of squares and just let u do whatever.
Awesome build. I can't live on creative though, it drives me nuts. I go crazy inside. Awesome job
How about the name Arethusa or Odalisque? I've used both as names for cities. Arethusa was a big Roman port city near Jerusalem (also an ancient Macedonian city), and an odalisque (pronounced like "odelie").
Ok so I don't want to keep making updates that are only a few days in between so I'll start to make them maybe weekly and we'll go from there. So far the only updates that I've made since the last was some walls and a gatehouse :(. Not much, but in a few days there should be much more.

Nice I like them. Leaning a little more towards Riva though. I like it! Thanks!

It's probably some sort of raw sewage container.
