Imperial Strand & SWanford University
« on: July 29, 2009, 07:39:04 AM »
Imperial Strand is a new development on previously undeveloped Seawing Island, connected to Sybit Island by Onest Bridge. Due to its new location, it is no longer following this history described below.

Old history:
Quote
Ok, it is a coastal town, rocky shore, mountains or hills along the coast, so it should be best beach and mountains can offer.

For a little history: It was the old location of the Empire of the Moon, an ancient civilization that existed about a thousand years ago, much like the ancient Chinese empires were. The empire's main city was along the coast here, after the empire fell it was abandoned for many centuries, and during that time it was a cold and chilling place to visit, waves crashing up on the rocky shore, stormy sky most of the year, and as the wind blows through the ruins the whistling sound almost sounds like ghosts' echos. Many ships crashed into the rocks along the coast.

About a century ago, among the coastal ruins one of the armies during a war made a base here, as it was the ideal location midway as they sent ships over to the enemy's land. However after the war, a group of people looking for a place to settle had set up a village here, using much of what was left of the base and building onto it.

Every time people settled here, since the imperial times, they could not find a way to easily cross over the mountains to go from their nice coastal settlements to the other villages inland. However the Empire of the Moon made much use of the mountainous terrain, and actually spread their city across the mountains, and made stone roads going all over the mountains, even in some parts going through tunnels, by getting hundreds of men to dig their way through, as many others use large stones to hold up the tunnel from collapsing. They used the tunnels to push carts to send supplies and other things throughout the empire.

However in the last few decades, the darkness has lifted, and the waters has calmed, and recently a modern town was set up here. Modern roads follow the gentle slopes that the old stone roads followed as it curved up and down the hills and along the coast. Commanding views of the waters can be enjoined from atop the cliffs, as you hear the water gently hitting the rocky coast. Those ancient tunnels are now reinforced and are used for trains.

The location is like a city such as Malibu, but instead it has a long and ancient history, one that you can almost feel as you visit, a sense you are standing on land that once housed a great, intelligent, and powerful empire.

Welcome to Imperial Strand.

not much there yet, but i wanted to post the story  :P

no need to post the jump. you know the name, if you can't find your way over, you are too n00b and i dont want you coming  [face_shocked]

Sounds pretty awesome. About where is it located?  Along the coast of Irenic? Sounds like a good place to put down by the Southern Highlands.

it is here: http://www.imabot.com/alphamapper/aw/?location=1239.82S_4164.34E&zoom=10

I am moving through, to Seawing Island. Ferruccio is currently making a bridge from the area immediately south of Castle Pines, over to the island. going to work with the area immediately north of the power lines, and on the westside of the island, until I expand more.

Packing my bags. Off I go.

jump has been made to new place. It will still land you in the water, so don't drown  [face_shocked]

^jump Imperial Strand

not much yet, but at least this time I covered land :x

P.S. I will be away from home for approximately one week starting Friday, however where I will be I will have my laptop as well as access to WiFi, but I am unsure of how busy I will be that week. I am going to be on staff at a week-long conference at Indiana University and working on the conference's website entire time I am there. If I get free time, I might install AW on my laptop and build, but I am not sure how much free time I get.

Coming soon to Seawing Island, in addition to the growing Imperial Strand, is:

SWanford University

Actual campus to be located within SW City finally [face_shocked]. It will most likely be its own development, and will be on the northern end of Seawing Island

It will be by the coast... something like this? [face_shocked]


(Pepperdine University, Malibu, CA)

will start construction once enough Seawing Island landscape is developed to support the campus setting.

That is the one problem I found with my plan... The area might build up eventually. Otherwise for the time being, it is serving the beach :O

Once SWanford Univeristy starts to be built I'll probably make a topic for it, for now it is in this topic. but maybe a cool thing to do for the campus is allow some of you guys to actually have different departments have the interior built and managed by you. That way it is a collaborative effort, and you can be professors  ;D

So which is better, using my ppw to do that, or having the departments/colleges on the campus be "lots" and you all can build them?
