User blog:AlteOgre/Wood-Elven Stronghold - Survival build

Some screenshots of current status of my build in a photobucket slideshow:

Everything is build in survival mode. The main structure was build on Battle of Arda (BoA) and delivered to me in a WorldEdit file by the owner ColHogan91, who can confirm no creative mode or any free items were used. Due to server problems and me not feeling too happy with the roleplay and loss of alignment, waypoints and achievements for a second time on BoA, I switched to (more strict roleplay and fairer gameplay oriented) server 'It's a hARDA world' and convinced owner HubTou to import the build. After he stripped it from many details (like chests, beds, signs, crafting tables, enchantment room, anvils, barrels and torches) he pasted it on a location that was similar to the one I started the build on, and I was able to recommence working on it. The original build was blended in it's new environment on this server through terraforming the hARDA way ... in survival. After re-adding all the stripped details I'm now adding more stuff (like carved bricks and pillars), details (interior/furnishing) and buildings. The whole project started when I was checking and experiencing the wonderful biomes of the LOTR mod to inspire me for the design of a huge custom map with TerrainControl for a fantasy themed roleplay-survival server. I got rather sick with bad headaches and cavity infections at that time and the only thing I could do was just build. The main structure took me many hours, and now it's kinda hARDA to depart from it, so I can't help myself from continueing to expand on it with barracks, farmlands, etcerera.

Just hope it's inspiring and people may come up with ideas I could use. :D
