you could place market stalls next to the obelisk, but make it look kind of unofficial. As if it were illegal and they could wrap it up within a minute when guards come. idk just an idea.

i see other people commenting the same thing but i think an impromptu market in the obelisk plaza would be great. just small stalls and tents that don’t break up the view of the mighty obelisk rising above.

Looks incredible! My only note is that the obelisk looks a little bit out of place. I think part of this is the color/pattern of the platform it's on, but the other part is where it's at. You should consider why it's placed there -- what about that spot made it desirable for some lord or influential person to reserve that valuable land for a monument? Usually monuments like that sit in front of big public buildings, in the middle of large markets, on parade grounds, on high-traffic boulevards, or in areas where open space is especially important. To make it look more like it belongs, you should consider putting an important manor or public building in front of it or adding some indication that this is a high-traffic area (e.g., a market or busy road). Or give the area a military purpose. Just some thoughts! Overall amazing build today :)

It's a beautiful city to be sure. I love the massive palace in the background, it lets you know where the power in the city is.

The magisters are so awesome! They remind me of the Elden Ring perfumers with their robes! And that view is absolutely stunning, this is one of my favourite desert-themed builds ever, and those are super difficult to make! One of the most inspiring things about this build is the astonishing underground system - from catacombs to large cellars, to infrastructure and sewage, I mean this city has everything above and below ground

I love how densely populated the City feels. You really want to explore every corner of the city! You could add some easter eggs to like assassins creed, Aladin or maybe prince of persia? The city really feels like those universes... Also the fortune teller is great! And regarding the plaza: you could add a wall with a sundial and some like "standard measurements" available for all people?

Its a bit early, but could you maybe make a bit of the outer city wall that is close towards the temple of sarkaroth be a bit damaged? Like the snake tried to attack the city, adding to the lore

Underrated content. You should have way more attention, but I guess KZfaq's algorithm is lacking in all possible fields... Anyway, thank you for implementing my idea in your build.👍

Awesome video! Absolutely loved the fortune teller building, it looks exactly like i thought it would when i firstly suggested you it! I have a suggestion: perhaps, in the future, you could build a sort of "police station", even though we cant really call it police. The romans had a similar thing back in the day, called "cohortes urbanae" and they were responsible for all kind of things: from taming fires (they also were firefighters), to control riots like our modern day riot police, to just patrolling and doing arrests. I think it could be a good idea

Always loved this sorta architecture, this city looks amazing viggobro! Keep up the great work :)

I love that fortune teller building !

So many wonderful kinds of statutes. Love it they all fit so well throughout the city

I love the open look for the plaza area....but on the outer edge it would be nice to have some benches and planters ....so people could rest by the edge of the plaza and take in the view of the obelisk and plaza

Someone might have said it already but small boats and docks on the river could be cool, like the rivers in Italy that tourists can take rides on

I like the market square idea, but the obelisk looks a little stubby to me. I think keep the base the same size, but taper in by maybe 1-2 vertical slabs along the full height (for example, if it's 21 blocks tall before the pyramid top, you'd have 7 blocks at the same width as the base, then 7 vert slabs inset by half a block, then 7 blocks inset by 1 block). Ancient cultures did this tapering to make pillars and obelisks look taller (and physically more stable). Also, obelisks are built as one piece that's lifted up from a laying position and stuck into a hole, and when you need to lever something like that, you want the end that's going to go downwards to be heavier than the part that's going to be lifted. Just a thought to make it slightly more realistic, but I love this project so far

Man, its just looks so niiiiiiice! 😮‍💨 its giving me a lot of inspiration, ty for your amazing work ! 🙏🏼

Over towards that mountain area I think a loosely wooded area with some really old windy trees would look really cool. Almost like a city park on the edge of the city. Somewhere where the cities people can go to relax and get shade both from the few trees and the mountain

I know your channel is about Minecraft builds, and damn u are the master of these, but...is there any chance u ever gonna try to build something in vintage story, its minecraft-ish game with a lot of blocks, furnitures, and u can use chisels as an in game feature to chisel blocks even by the pixel, also the game supports mods so u can get even more features. Would really love to see your creativity showcased in that game.

Incredible work Viggo!

Reminds me of the free citys from a game of throwns

haven't been here in a bit. feels good to stumble on your content again

Loving the updates to this world! What shaderpack do you use for showcasing your builds? I hope your computer isn’t exploding from it 😂

what if you kept the foot of the pyramid bare to preserve the look of the sand rising up against its walls, and just put a small dock down by the water where canoe-driving porters could load and offload goods for transport to the palace? maybe a small plaza with obelisks or statues or a place for heralds to declare the ruler’s orders?

Given when the map's represented, the obelisk square would've been empty. A place where people would've gathered and on special occasions, a fair grounds, perhaps. (depending on what the monument would represent - some religious oriented areas had them, some didn't, for example).

Hey Viggo! What are your graphics settings? including shaders, time set in game, in-game settings and computer settings? It always looks so sunny, warm and lively in your videos and my world always looks so cold and quiet.

viggo, i have a question, but do you need the conquest reforged modpack to join ur server or will it automatically load? and will you need optifine?

I have a question for you... not sure if you can help me out. I am new to conquest reforged as a builder and I use the forge fabric loader and everything that come with it, I did add the victory mod and world edit to my mods folder as well. What I can't figure out is how to get diagonal stair rails with my stairs. The rails only want to stair straight, vertical and horizontal....not diagonal.... was hoping it was the debug stick that would fix it... that doesn't give me the option to change the orientation of the rails.... any ideas?

What`s the name of the shaders?

:D
