The Tribe's Colliseum, A true Masterpiece.

So after 4 days of intensive round-the-clock labor, the Tribes have finally completed their colliseum. All Tribes feel free to apply your screenshots of what you love of the colliseum here.


EDIT: Stupid forum cuts my pictures... just go create a 1x1 tower a little beyond the artemis monument and see for yourself... its beautiful.
Or check out the Screenshots below
Enjoy

You don't really get how epic this is because of the resizing. I am actually seriously in favour of a look out tower at the spot this was taken. Because if you see this in game, rendering far, full screen... Yeah.
The most fun part was that during construction I was constantly close up with no idea how it looked. Then I thought it looked great from afar. But then came the tard towers and OMG pwnage etc.
I invite anyone to build a tard tower at the same distance as the Temple entrance (as long as you break it down). The view is breathtaking and worth death by fall damage.

It should be noted that this was SkiDDi's plan all along. I came up with the arches. Kayne did work on the arena battlegrounds. Many design choices were decided by voting. And there is an enormous amount of labour involved in pure construction work. Truly a team effort. And it all started one sleepless night when SkiDDi told us to dig out a gaping hole in our newly gained lands.

Awh shucks im blushin!
thanks to all you guys!
Your screenshots do good justice to it, thought its not everything you should see

Pfft, bet you're cute when you're blushing~ >=3

Silliness aside, the Colosseum is just... wow X_X Like, amazing. I'm so glad we came together to create such a Minecraft Masterpiece.

Gotta say that final touch by D3 and Decibert on implementing the arches came through extremely well. truly transformed the outside of the Colosseum as we needed..

Side note,
Bromance goin on Haha.

This is sexy.

Very nice, very nice indeed. Ima come online soon and check it out.

Just awesome... But the inside is... quite boring (except the fighting area). I recommend you to decorate it more, making stripes of other materials, etc. I'm just giving ideas

Err... were in a new round buddy.. Thats gone..

Fail

FUK, I FAILED.

Srry i'm actually new here, i'm still waiting to the response of my aplicattion...

So i don't really know anything.

lol, ahh... i miss tribes

I miss nord. I just loved building with snow. It's so clean and easy to dig.

Snow.... Easy.... To Dig?! It's hundreds and hundreds of snowballs lol.

I do miss green and sunlight and building with logs. But I wouldn't switch factions right now.
But yeah, the coliseum was great, also to work on. In SSP I'm making a 144x144 dark room (to get massive mob spawns) but I don't want it to be ugly from the outside so I'm gonna build something huge on top. Probably, inspired by this, some sort of stadium. Unless someone else has an idea for something 144x144x35 that is not a castle.

Perhaps you could try to make some sort of statue commemorating the mobs that will spawn there, just an idea though.

I do want to make a creeper statue someday. But even though I have the cave of never-endingness, I have only found one dungeon in that world so enough mossy cobblestone for the green I have not. That limits me to hard to build spiders and skeletons. A cobble spider IS something to consider, it fits the space I have.
Perhaps a whole terrain (a temple with arches with a grassy park like thing around it). That would be pretty easy and look nice but may not be that amazingly epic from next to the spawn building. Think I'll just build a part and see if it works.

This might seem abit off topic, but im doing something very similar, how do you avoid caves? Or do you not?

Avoid caves? I rush explore through them, light the entire thing up, mine everything, block it off in parts leave . You mean avoid caves as in avoid mobs spawning there which decrease the amount I can have in the spawner building? I have found/lighted all cave systems directly underneath the building (got some huge caves that go down to diamond levels) and I'm just not going to bother with searching further down. If this works it doesn't have to run at full capacity to get me loads of stuff.
