New Town Request: Droidopolis

[stern23]

I've been thinking a lot about ideas on the town walls and defenses in general.  The walls would be built in multiple steps. For instance, start with a design for a basic wall with pretty basic towers. That would be the Tier 1 walls. Then, Tier 2 would add on to that design, etc. I have about four Tiers in my head right now. Each Tier adds on to the last with minimal removing of existing materials, making the whole process very time and material efficient if built properly.

I figured the tiered system would allow us to get walls up quickly and then give us a definite direction and goal for our city defenses. For example, say Tier 1 would need 103 cobble stone for a section of wall twenty-one cubes long and four high (the bottom two rows are double half-steps to make it a bit more interesting visually). The towers are 128 cobble each. So for one section of Tier 1 wall (two towers and a section of wall 21 cubes long), it would take 309 cobble. Or four full stacks and one stack of 53. With a decent area to quarry cobble, that can be gathered by one person in a few minutes with the proper tools. Multiple people gathering it would take no time. Tier 2 would add a bit of height to the towers and a second layer of walls and so on.

I'm building examples of them on my private server and also in Google SketchUp to help flesh out the designs. I don't want to put specifics on here. I'd rather wait for Droidopolis to get it's own forum and post it there. Once we get the private forum for our town, I'll post a huge thread there in much greater detail with screen shots. I also have other ideas for city defenses that I'll put in there too.
