Hi Everyone!
Here is version 1 of my project, the City of Britain. It has taken a while to complete this project legit on my multiplayer survival server, but it was rewarding. Although I did let an operator buddy of mine smooth out my moat with a "sponge" to fix that up. Not without its trials and tribulations, MineCraft updates forced me to do two server world migrations, several chunk errors, and 92 hour work weeks in between! None the less I now feel I have now graduated from MineCraft Nub to MineCraft Builder
I did try to stay as canon to the original Ultima VII City and Castle as possible, that will be why there may be too much Cobblestone in its construction, and why all the buildings are pretty much squares/rectangles. Hey, it was 1992, complicated 3D code was hard to come by! In any case, I did take out a little bit of an artistic license in some places, mainly the Castle as you will see if you do know canon Ultima.
There are a few things that could probably use a little more work.
The secret passage ways in the walls of the Castle are not complete. I have two passage ways that open from within the wall near the front of the Castle and the main entrance to the passage ways is in Lord British's chambers. I have not duplicated the number of levers/wall seperations in the Castle walls(it was a silly number of them anyway) because I haven't been able to get the entry/exit points to be flush with the wall. Not perfectly hidden. That may be my problem, bad restoner I bet.
There are some glass blocks used as windows still here and there, I never got around to converting 100% of them after the glass panes came out.
This project was featured over at the Ultima Codex! I thank WtF Dragon for adding this to the Inspired Works section, I was very happy to see it there.
