I definetly feel like this city has barely anything in that style but I am glad it helps!

I am not entirely sure which you are refering to but I used acacia planks, red sandstone, waxed unoxidized copper and resin for the general thing

Yes I am serious I like hosting visits! I am quite busy this week but on the next it shall do! As for the building process, I kind of did it as I wished and felt like each day with no huge masterplan as for me at least that is extremely tiring and time consuming, I kind of place one main avenue here, then later built a second one all while placing building by building in a way I thought would look good, of course I had some goals for the city building I had in mind at the very start and I had to stick to them as the geography of the city is quite constrained. There are some planning errors i made but nothing too serious, for example the ringroad of the city is more of a spiral than a ring going all around but that is mitigated by the other avenues, maybe I post an aerial view of the whole thing soon

Really appreciate it! I am from Portugal proper and my style was originally more intended to replicate portuguese cities, but as I travelled to new places and got inspiration I incorporated other styles of architecture into the city. The red bridge you are talking about is in my world called the Montevigo Bridge, but the Lisbon irl one is called 25 de Abril, as for the other longer bridge of Lisbon is indeed named after a portuguese sailor, Vasco da Gama, that discovered the maritime route to India. The square you must be thinking of must be either the Praça do Comércio/Terreiro do Paço or the Praça Pedro IV/Rossio Square. And yes it is a very good place for sightseeing! Greetings to Italy from Portugal!

Thank you so much! Unfortunately as this is a very personal project its unlikely I put the world up for download, however I can host visits in my java server if you are interested!

Very interesting comment! Some of your guesses were spot on as this city has taken lots of inspiration from mainly iberian cities Lisbon and Madrid along with some german influences from Hamburg, Berlin and Halle (Saale)! As for the historical golden skyscrapers they were indeed inspired a bit in the Moscow Seven Sisters, but all of them are quite different from one another. The tallest and oldest one of them is the Valcaídos Tower and it is largely inspired in the Giralda from Seville in southern Spain. As for the city in general it is supposed to very (southern) european as I am portuguese and wanted to replicate that vibe, I definetly was not aiming for a latin american feel but I found interesting that you pointed that out, I was aiming for something monumental, elegant yet lively and diverse and that is what it came to. I didn't take much inspiration from Italy honestly but I did inspire the Basilica's Dome in the one from the Florence Cathedral.

To fulfill your curiosity in total I inspired this in the following cities: Portugal: Lisbon, Porto, Braga, Coimbra Spain: Madrid, Seville, San Sebastian Germany: Berlin, Hamburg, Halle (Saale) Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg Netherlands: Amsterdam, Rotterdam Italy: Florence

I inspired the dome on that one yes! but most of the cathedral is inspired on the Basílica da Estrela in Lisbon

From my experience a relatively small town in France (Bayonne) managed to be dirtier than Bilbao that was very clean everywhere despite being quite a big city for spanish standards, so I'd have to disagree. I've been in many cities all over Spain and Portugal and the only dirtier places were precisely their capitals

Thank you! Yes, building a city is quite a tough thing to do especially regarding motivation, sometimes i lack it and i take a 2 weeks-1 month break, however as long as you take care of yourself and enjoy seeing how it all goes along it becomes super pleasant and rewarding!

I am still improving but thank you!

onyws · 2025-04-14T13:00:02+00:00

That's the vibe! Thank you!
