It doesn't lose track of anything. Its main purpose is to assure that you haven't made a mess of your OS and/or file system before actually deleting the file(s).  If it allowed normal use, you would have no assurances.

Parts of it look really macroed/duped, but I don't care! That is amazing! 9/10. What do you still have to do?

Thanks, I’ve been trying to keep it visually interesting and playable while trying to limit rubber stamping too much.

Things I want to do:
Additional architectural and decorative elements within the main building no matter which way the floor plan ends up (triforum (triple arches between the arches), art, furniture, fixtures, accents, lights).
Additional buildings within and outside the walls like more shops, service buildings, etc. (some will be left empty or near empty on purpose).
A gallows or guillotine
Changing the layout of the main building tower stairwells for the 12,000th time
Anti rooms, chapels, Easter eggs

Fantastic build, I would add some church-style pews if that were me though.

I’ve been working with the mindset of a converted cathedral castle. I may do a couple iterations, one as a king’s castle and one as a straight up cathedral. No promises.

WOW
It looks like somehting just out of a lego set!
Only thing I can complain about is the lack of stuff in the great hall area.
9.75/10!

Thanks, I still have a lot more to go there.

The build is nice but the colors aren't that great

I completely agree on the colors. I’m going to stick to the default pallet for now, but I’m not thrilled with my color choices at the moment either. These may change.

haha. there were NEVER any lego sets that were this good...

i love the way you use the different angles of inclined bricks to get the impression of the slope or curve or whatever. :) i love the parts where you used the points getting increasingly higher... great effect. i wish idve thought of it.

how old are you? if you dont mind me asking. :)

I’ve been referring to photos of actual cathedrals for inspiration (this is not intended to be a duplicate of any).  There are several out there with elements that will translate well with Blockland bricks.
 
I’m 40. :Z

Very nice! I like the styling. Keep at it.

For the most part I like it but, the main castle looks awkward. It looks like a house surrounded by four pillars.

Maybe a fifth pillar protruding from the center of the main build that is comfortably taller than the other four?

Just an idea.

You don't know how much I agree. I wish I could jam a full-fledged cross-style cathedral in there; the type with two front turrets and a dome and turret above the center of the transept. I already expanded the battlements from 128x to 192x. Any further and it'll have 12-story catacombs and have dirt mounds in my buildings.  I may still jam one in there end to end. It’s doable but it would probably cause other detractors.  When I gave up on the full cathedral for this build, I consoled myself by promising to build it stand-alone, at the very least, in another.

Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you all.


For now, consider this a castle designed by a cathedral architect.
If I don't end up going full-on cathedral, I'll see what i can do to tweak it.

Straight forward and very nice.

Still a work-in-progress, I’ve been working on since the 8th or so. Presently it’s a tad over 35,000 bricks. There are still more in and out-buildings, details for the inside of the cathedral-inspired castle, and peasant village to construct. However, I may forgo the village considering the present brick count. I’ll save it for last.

I don’t care for ratings but feel free if you wish. I *would* like your honest critiques (what you like, don’t like, possibly even what you’d like to see added).

So far, in the in-buildings I’ve furnished 2 barracks with day rooms, sleeping quarts (for 104), quasi armories, and dining facilities. There is also a bakery, blacksmith shop, and tavern.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep at it and get a nice save file available for those that might be interested.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I may host this build for the heck of it this weekend. My in-game name is StewClanGlen (as in Stew family (not BL clan)).
