Mae's CP Rank Application

[Mae]

The Rank I'm applying for is: City Planner
My Game Name is: Mae_Natayo
My Project is called: The Beginnings of War: Salvation at the Great Oak
To get to my project: Pandora's Outpost 3, NorthEast of Pandora mid ocean ish. X: -4451 Z: -3568 (Roughly)
A brief description of my project: It was not the first time nor the last time it would happen, and the Indians knew this. They had been prepared for a long time for the rising of the Creepers... the entities that would destroy all of mankind. Upon the discovery of the Great Oak, the Indians settled upon the island and prepared a home for those seeking refuge. Much time has passed since the first war, and history is starting to repeat herself. This time, more than just the Indians need safe refuge, and the world leaders (those that remain) have come to the Indians for guidance, assistance, and counsel in defeating their mutual foe... The Creeper.
Three mandatory screenshots:
Please read all captions with the photos as they explain the build in more detail than I can portray. For best results, ask me to view it in game or ask for a tour of the build.
I used many different views to portray the island as best as possible. I used Ozocraft as my texture pack, for those who wish to see the island as I did while building, though I did often cross check appearances in default

Wow… *Mind blown*

Id say you are there, if not nearly. The only thing that seems a bit odd is the shape of the giant tree, its a bit pyramid-like. If you take a look at other trees, you see that the large oaks have bits branching off, and odd leaves everywhere. Id say maybe edit the shape of the top (unless it was intended to look that way) then you might just get them few more points if you don't have it. Bear in mine that CP requires a perfect 10 on the scale, it might only just hit it. It has a huge surface area, but maybe add a few more buildings, I'm not a mod, but I'll give you my rating

Uniqueness: 9, Never seen much like this and there is a few different themes.

Beauty: 9, Very beautiful, but again id try and shape the main tree a bit more, unless its intended to look like that.

Execution: 8, Maybe some of the interiors could be touched up a bit, but still, bloody brilliant .

Scale: 10 (if not, its 9) Yeah, a huge island that you terraformed and then built a beautiful village upon. If this doesn't get you city planner, then just nudge some sides out and plant a few more trees, the I guarantee

Id say you hit City Planner, 36 points by me, but lets see what others say...

It's supposed to be a majestic Oak, not a "giant oak". That's why I've called it, the Great Oak. Also why the Indians worship the tree in their TP's. I wanted it to stand out as a different "tree". Semi natural, semi magical. Nonetheless, I appreciate all opinions and viewpoints, even from those who do not "rank" it, per say. Thanks Nuc!

Why are staff applying for City Planner? haha

Because when they resign, they'll get City Planner instead of Architect??



... Epic Crafter is currently only rank staff can apply.

I know this guys. I even talked about it in game. I am building up to EC and wanted to see if my build could pass as CP worthy before I progress to the next stage. I would personally like to say that I earned every rank via building, and you can't skip CP on the way up.

I've checked this out in-game, I honestly don't think this is worth City Planner. I'll give some points to help you out.

Uniqueness: 7
Beauty: 4
Execution: 4
Scale: 7

Total: 22

Now I'll explain, uniqueness wise, There has been a lot of builds like this made, man-made islands on the ocean are a dime a dozen, as are little compounds like this with buildings. The unique aspect is the style with the Native American TP's so I give it 7 here.

Beauty wise, honestly it doesn't look good. The tree in the middle is an eyesore and it doesn't look like a tree should it just looks bad, the leafs on the top the way it's shaped just isn't attractive.

I give a four on execution due to the layouts of some of the buildings, there are doors where they don't make sense, right the layouts aren't the type you'd ever encounter in real life, having doors at the corner section of two intersecting walls is just bizarre. Also the tree again it doesn't look well constructed. There was also a lot of buildings without floors, a chest room with grassy flooring? It doesn't make sense to me.

Scale, it is quite large considering you built it by hand, lot of terraforming I'd give it a 7 in scale for those reasons.

I feel bad giving such a hard rating but it's just how I honestly feel about this build.
