Edit: here is the needed items list as promised.

In order of need: Cobble/stone/stone brick, glowstone, quartz, $$ for warp, cyan wool

I decided before the map reset to build a large city on this map and have based it generally on the Imperial City from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, with some modifications. I am looking to open the build up as a group project and have received a lot of help so far, especially from Nichbal and Terrasina. I have included a pic of  the actual city. Second post will have screen shot of build so far. If I get enough help, I would love to expand out from the city and do a large collection of builds with the same general feel so they make up what I guess you could call a small country.

Obviously, people who help a lot would be given a living space for FREE. If you are leery of helping because you don't think you are super creative or good at this kind of medieval style, don't worry. I have already planned out the entire city and will lay out the foundations so all you have to do is follow the pattern. A lot of the roofs have various additions so would be handled by myself  and selected individuals.

The city docks will be replaced with a community farm and I will be putting auto cookers I'm various areas to ensure there is always plenty of food. I also have an iron farm that I am also working on expanding and will be putting in a cobble generator next to it as well.

No portal yet, but I saving for it and contributions for it and materials are always welcome. Please /mail me in game or on the forum. Forum I check several times a day and I am on the server for a couple hours most nights (U.S. CST).

(Those of you familiar with ES4, I am putting in the sewer and a large Oblivion (nether) gate somewhere near the city)

I built this same city, only differently. I had the tower in the middle and had it so there was paths all around the spire of the tower, all the way down to the bottom that water would flow down during the day. Basically during the day, the city would come alive with waterfalls and fountains and such, and at night it would come alive with lights galore and a sort of vegas feel...Love what you have so far!

Short update and thank you

I received a lot of support for the city since I posted it here. Just wanted to say thanks especially to Bunny561 and Dverbi for all the donations and help over the last couple of days. 

Also, I will be taking inventory and will edit the original post with a needed items list that I will keep updated. I will also put a donation box and sign up by the warp (once I can afford it that is) with the same list posted there.

Warp you can check off :)

Snowball and I are going to donate to get it open. I know where you wanted the spawn, but I forgot to ask you for the warp name.

Thanks  sam3! I burn through cobble and stone fast I will TP you to the city next time I see you. 

Also, I am really liking my project and keep coming up with new ideas. Because of this, I am creating a new thread called Tamriel (which will also be warp name when purchased). The imperial city will be my project for the present time, but I have hopes/plans of adding more builds, so it's just easier to name my land/country now and use it's name as a title for an all inclusive thread for all future projects.
