Thanks for the good feedback!

Dreadseye, please don't hold back on the roadbuilding, I certainly want to do stuff other than building roads, and you wouldn't believe how time-consuming it is, especially with half cobbles..

I intend to go off a little way further on the red line down to the bottom ...

Other road build directions?

Nice! I'm going to not do any more roadbuilding until Sunday, I think. But it will be nice to see it extended

Is there a permissions issue? I'm getting a "website declined to show you this page" error

Phase 1 is complete!

Half stones, guys!
It's worth the pain, the visual effect is really good and you get progressive gradients.

Cheers,

Donations of gravel gratefully accepted from one and all, by the way!

I'm happy to limit my building of the road like this if you want me to, by the way. It's just suggestions.

Well, I was thinking that trunk roads could be cobbled, as in the old roman style, and branch and minor roads could be gravel. That way you know if you are on a main road vs. a track.

What do you think?

Ahh, that's unfortunate. I should have thought of that before I started. I've been making it from half-height cobbles, because you can build more gradual changes into the road relief as it rises and falls, which means that you don't have to jump to traverse the road and well, it just looks more ...

Hi guys,
I'm in the progess of building a trunk road into which I am attempting to build pleasing aethestics. I'd rather at this point that people didn't attempt to contribute to the actual building, as I have a particular plan in mind. That said, if you are worried about where the road is going wrt ...

Awesome! I can see my house from here (that square of torches and stuff east along the coast from the ship). BTW, if thats in the wrong place, let me know. I do plan to run a road past it along the coast and off into the wilderness.

Just a thought. Browsing around various forum posts on the big minecraft forums, I note that some servers are making use of a ram drive to improve performance for larger numbers of players.

Is this something that our server already has?
Is it something that is worth testing (I don't know what the ...

Towers:
Really no towers? I mean, there are lots of interesting ways that a tower can be built; I think mine was ok in the main, was it not? It was out of town in any case...

I think a new map is great for us new guys. I'd prefer if it didn't become too tightly regulated. It's nice to go off into the wilderness and just build whatever comes to mind!
