Lerak Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Is there a maximum surface allowed for creation? Current surface is 55*108 studs. I am (trying to) build a small city/village, situated near to the borders of Mitgardia and Avalonia.
Maxim I Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Is there a maximum surface allowed for creation? Current surface is 55*108 studs. I am (trying to) build a small city/village, situated near to the borders of Mitgardia and Avalonia. No maximum surface, the latest Drow city is for example 3 meters long :D My city of Mpya Stedor is designed to be 150x150 But if you are planning to make an embassy for example, the maximum is 48x48. Of course larger is not forbidden, but it won't count in the challenge :) But like I said, for city projects, there is no maximum
Darkdragon Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 This certainly is bad news, the Mitgardian Court of Valholl sends their condolences to all who knew Than-Reya and vows to better protect it's emissaries from danger in the future. A tribute of 1000gold pieces has been sent to the Urk'cape tribe to help them cope with their loss. As for the Wolfpack Rescue Company, the Court thanks them for their efforts, and for taking over oversight of our embassy's construction. The village of Urk'cape is very much thankful for the gift. Wolftracks is happy to report that the gold has been used to build a school for teaching the whole village how to read. It is the hope of the elders and of Wolftracks that these steps will assure a tragedy such as this never happens again. (image is a link) Did you just kill off your own sig-fig? Afraid so.
rucorder Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Mighty Mitgardia has raised an embassy in Kaliphlin, to conduct the trading of lumber. Mitgardian embassy in Kaliphlin by Ru Corder, on Flickr
Sirens-of-Titan Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 Great embassy Rucorder! darkdragon, it's good to see the gold has been spent responsibly. Mitgardians, with January almost at an end, I hope all embassies for challenge 2 are well under way. There is still plenty of time until the deadline, and I encourage you to spend time on refining your builds, even if it means posting them the week of the deadline. Remember; we won round one because of our quality builds, let's do the same with round 2. Also, I am officially endorsing Angeli's Drow battle arena; I encourage you to make a fighter and enter the fight on behalf of the great Northern Guild of Mitgardia, and show the Drow what we Mitgardians are made of!
Etzel Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Another Mitgardian embassy in Kaliphlin is on its way. I hope to have it finished this week or in the beginning of next one. No WIP-pictures unfortunately, but I can say that it has many weird angles that are really testing my patience.
Rolli Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Oh. Mitgardia. Wrong guild ;) I just want to ask if someone has an idea where my embassy could take its place. Im kinda desperately looking for a spot for weeks and as i have to finish it's surrounding on the weekend.. (This is a work-in-progress-pic shot last weekend and it's almost finished but i hadn't time to take a decent photograph..) I would love if someone would like to have my embassy in his / her city but I also no problem with a spot in the wilderness.. I hope, someone can help me with this problem.. Best regards! rolli / Sir Moriartus

kabel Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) hm, what is it about all these Mitgardian embassies in Kaliphlin, mine is going to be there too , working on the interiour of the buildings right now ... @rolli: Stoneroda (modeled after my hometown Wernigerode/Harz) would be honored to host your embassy!

One thing you could do would be to treat it as a cut-away and show the interior with the open wall. Just a thought. I really ought to get to starting on mine as well...

SkaForHire Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 So, I was thinking of compiling a list of all the ethnicities and cultures in historica, thoughts? That will be interesting... sort of a "guide to the continent" There are a lot of clans, races, and cultures in this new world - you may want some help. Also, sorry, I know the conversation is over a week old, but I just got to it - I hope that Historica continues as an event for more than the designated year. I think it has a lot of potential to keep people involved. For example, as I suggested a long time ago in one of the general threads, a new continent or island with a new faction or two could open up to keep adding life - almost like an expansion pack. I won't bog down the mitgardia thread with my ideas, but if we need some I have plenty - I think about the event and ways to add to it, I just don't seem to have the time this semester to sit and build! Also, I guess I feel a little left out as no one is building a embassy in my Kaliphlin town of Eastgate! If any of you Mitgardians need a home, we have a spot. It was offered to my brother who is in your guild - but he has seemed to have gone dormant. :(

Sirens-of-Titan Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Hello Guildsmen, What a lovely snowy day in Mitgardia it is. @Rolli: Beautiful embassy! I can't wait to see it finished, make sure to take great pictures because that baby is worth it. @Jakon: It definitely sounds like a grand idea to have an index of all races, just keep in mind it's gonna be very difficult to go through everybody's work and extract all the imaginary races. If you have the time/will I say go for it, we'll include it in our Main Guild Discussion afterwards. @Claus Von Nassau: Welcome to the guild! Wonderful collection of troops you have there; I'm sure you'll find Mitgardia to be a welcoming and exciting place. Well here we are, a bit of time still left until embassy challenge comes to completion, I hope everyone who is planning on entering is keeping track of time, also please keep in mind all the mini challenges are also due at the time of the embassy challenge. (reproduced here for your convenience) Category 1: The Mytgardian Legend: Write a short story and build a small MOC that shows off the lore of the North. Sleeping giants? Dangerous catacombs? Dragon's nests? Tundra trolls? You bet, all are welcome! Make it a great build and story and I will bestow upon 2 skillful builders the title of "Lore Master"Category 2: Ship-Building: Build a mighty vessel from the North, and place it in a harbor, or out at sea. Don't limit yourself to viking ships, and especially please don't use those giant viking hulls unless they are done in style. I would like to see some more-interesting medieval warships. Get creative here. A scene would be great here. Best builder here gets the "Admiral of the Mitgardian Fleet" Category 3: Celebration Day: This one is fun! Describe and build a scene from a Mitgardian festival or celebration. It can be a religious occasion, a military victory, a seasonal (harvest) festival or a traveling troupe of performers. Aesthetics will be key here. Best 2 Builds get the title of "Mitgardian Bard" Long live Mitgardia!
Claus von Nassau Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks for the warm welcome, Altough i am to late for the embassy, I will try to create a ship worthy of the Mitgardia colors. Hail Mitgardia!
Savage Sebstian Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I'll have my figs out in no time! I will also be done with a vignette for Mini-Challenge 1 very soon.... Jarl, will Historica continue over time or will it end later this year?
Sirens-of-Titan Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 I'll have my figs out in no time! I will also be done with a vignette for Mini-Challenge 1 very soon.... Jarl, will Historica continue over time or will it end later this year? Historica is planned to go on until late fall next year, that is unless interest from the members keeps it going beyond that. It all depends on how novel and interesting it feels at that time. I wouldn't be afraid to dive right in nonetheless; 2 minutes in heaven is better than 1 minute in heaven.
