Start with a rectangle, then expand, add a second story, add a roof, add fences (they look really nice for poles, trimmings, etc.) Also be sure to vary the material type and place torches in an aesthetically pleasing way. Here's my house in a SMP server I made:

And a revamp I did of a commentator "Kevin"'s house:

After that you can start to make some more complex and larger things involving more shapes, but I'm not THAT good yet xD
I think the first one is really cool, and I like the boat garage on the second.
I feel it was unfairly locked because he wasn't posting a video he made, he was discussing it, and it was going find until it was locked. I think that you should at least allow threads on pics/videos that have a lively discussion going (such as the pacman one). Because to be honest, I really don't know who reads the pic/video threads aside from people posting their own content.
My brother plays the game, and their excuse for blocking Minecraft is "If it's an online game that isn't WoW, it's advertising, which isn't allowed unless they pay us". That's pretty sad.
Proper summation: Hit other guy with your sword. Kill him. Dig up his fort.
There is no depth to anything in this game, quit pretending.
Hmm, how about you fight who uses the ideas in this thread with your tactic. I think they'll win. Although I suppose your right that some of the stuff in here is easily avoidable, it's still better than "I hit you, you die".
I think it'd be a cool idea to start an Art of War clan on the Dark Tide server (It's a vanilla PvP server, and it'd be perfect for this kinda project) if anyone's interested, drop me a PM
Have you read The Prince, you've perfectly applied his thoughts to minecraft. Bravo!
Machiavellian politics are the best kind of politics!
Sorry, I quoted the wrong person
Ah, thats what I thought :smile.gif: I always use these kind of politics in Risk, and thought they'd go well in Minecraft.

I think a short section on it wouldn't hurt, as you've called your thread "The Art of War", and politics certainly ties in with the "Art". But, it's your thread, so add whatever you see fit.

I'm really tempted to sig this.
On topic: I've spawned on grass before, it's not super rare. I once spawned in water :tongue.gif: (although over sand)

That video's fake. He just used MCedit to cut part of a sphere out of the world.
