Do that with brickwalls and no one will be able to in since you need a battering ram, which there would be no room to build one.

They could put one on a raft and nail it from the coast. O_O

Rams don't go on rafts. And if you can't build a ram to break in, you get the fist of jorb!

Sodom was a pretty beautiful impressive city in World 3, Bevelle was also rather beautiful. Lots of cities end up looking pretty but almost none are designed to be.

in world 3, there was a group building a beautiful circular palisade around their village. it looked really nice and was a very refreshing change to the usual "square" villages like you say.

unfortunately for them, this design required a crap ton of cornerposts, and took them a rather long time to complete - in fact, they never got the chance to complete it at all :twisted:

They don't? I'd been mislead. My island is awesome as shit, then.

@bitza

My island has like 65 cornerposts. It took me about 12 hours to get that shit done. SO TEDIOUS.

You can look at the village of Sodom as an unfinished piece of art.

Certainly was a megastructure.

The Korean Beautiful Dream Village was also one of my favorites, too.

That GTL fellow built himself an enormous cross out of paved tiles to mark the death of his first character in World 1.
On the southeast island, someone carved the phrase "NIGGER" into the grass. I was the one who made it into "TIGGER" which I strongly believe is an improvement but I may have creator's bias.

That's the one. Though it is the weekend and Gym, Tan, Laundry are as important as ever too.

This is The Great Kirby's Shrine. Some of the locals worship this idol. Some try to feed Kirby with offerings as thanks for forgiveness, salvation, and good harvests; Kirby is also a generous god that shares with the less fortunate.

I'm thinking of making a public traveller's inn there and perhaps other fancy things.
