Hello!I'm hopefully going to start working on an Atlantis-themed build. It will obviously be rather Ancient-Greek based, and therefore include plenty of temples, theatres, villas, ships and similar things.
But there's one major thing I want to include which I have never attempted before (
or at least, not seriously...), and that is terrain!
I have a semi-designed map that I want to stick to as well, so this will hopefully help with the process.
Thing is though, I don't know whether to use cubescape, brickscape, platescape or even ModTer.
And furthermore, I have no experience with any of those!
So, if there's anyone who can provide help with those, in advice or even working with me, I would be really thankful for any and all help!
I won't be using the actual saves I made before (as they're stuck at home), but I will be using similar styles to that which I used on my
Greco-Roman build.
Atlantis MapSorry for the blurry quality! It's just a brief pencil sketch of what I hope for. And the scales certainly aren't set in stone.
But in case you can't tell (which I'm sure you can't), I'll briefly describe the map.
Atlantis is an island which runs from North to South, tapering at the Southern end.
At the
Southern end of the island, the
city of Atlantis cits, walled in to the southern tip.
In the
Far North of the island, a small
fishing village rests.
In the
North of the island,
Mount Vulcan, a
Volcano sits, looming over the landscape. It's mostly calm, although smoke regularl soars out of it's large mouth.
In the
South of the island the
Atlantean Farms sit atop the rolling fertile hills beneath
Mount Vulcan.
Off the
West Coast sits the
island home to the
Oracle of Atlantis, providing insight into the will of the
god Poseidon.
Off the
South Eastern Coast is the crumbled remains of an older part of the
city. Over a hundred years ago this part of the city collapsed into the sea, as the ground was shaken apart by
Poseidon, god of Earthquakes. It's said that the treasures and buildings of that part of the city still rest intact underneath the sea.
Off the
Northern Coast lies the
Smokey Isles, black, hot islands clouded in a dense black smoke and fog. A consistent lava flume from
Mount Vulcan pours into the sea, building out the land and producing the thick smoke.
In the
South of the
city there stands
four docks, providing port to the otherwise rocky cliffed island. Each dock ends in a large lighthouse.
Help NeededI will almost definitely need some help in landscaping this build, and would need advice on how it's best to build (buildings first, then terrain, or terrain then buildings??).
Furthermore, I need advice on any good brick-packs and Add-Ons I should use, as well as a good colorset.
ColorsetI'm looking for a nice earthy colorset, but one that has several shades of white for marbles, and pastel colours, as well as some nice earthy shades of red for houses. Transparents aren't really a neccessity.
BrickpacksI need decent bricks for making attractive columns, as well as a number of good bricks for making circles.
Furthermore, I really need something to let me build some nice
Ionian Columns.Add-OnsAny good looking weapon packs, which would have things like Greek/Spartan style shields, plus swords and spears would be excellent, as these can be used for decoration!
Furthermore, any sculpture/frieze print-decals, or Ancient Greek style Chest Decals would be great, as I could use them to decorate walls and sculptures!
Thanks!Thank you for your time, and for any help you can provide!
I would love it if anyone was interested in joining in building, in any way! Whether you're good at farms, or landscaping, or interior decorations, or ships, or islands! This is in no means just a solo-project!
If I get far at all in this, I will definitely be looking to host it and release the save too.
