Dear Vetronians,
I am delighted to present to you... Foxtown!
Foxtown is a mythical and somewhat industrial themed town off the island of Vetronia (with the Dynamap down I have no way of indicating which province it is in).
A month in the making, Foxtown is only 30% done. The three districts of Foxtown are:
Foggy Basin- The main industrial and business oriented district, home to the famous Murky Trough inn- 60% done
Highlands- The upper class district for the wealthy. This district is most famous for the Wizard's tower which watches over all of Foxtown's inhabitants. 20% done
Darkwood- The main residential area, home to the notorious Foxtown Theater and the Yggdrasil- 5% done
The Story:
When Foxtown was nothing but half of a water mill, I, Natees (who was starting out his own town at the time) decided to go to another Vetronian's town for inspiration. The town he ended up going to was called Foxtown and was not much to look at at the time. Natees and the builder, LordEboshi, started building that day together. As time went on I realised that my architectural skills were nothing compared to that of LordEboshi's, and thus I let him do all the work . A month later and the town is making good progress, but this project is only just starting.
Foxtown at the moment, has no portal ship altough in the future plans to have an airship. Because of the lack of a portal ship, the only way to get to Foxtown is by boat.

z: 2650
Please do not bother LordEboshi while he is working as it will only slow down the building process.
How you can help:
Seeing as neither LordEboshi nor Natees are particularly rich, and neither are sitting on a stockpile of diamonds, donations are highly appreciated. So far the money available for the (roughly) 15k shillings needed for a portalship is: 3k so Donations of money are very much needed. Other than the issue of portal ships is that Foxtown is quite large, meaning that resing it costs a LOT. Currently the residents dont cover a lot of Foxtown which is a large security risk. Furthermore, LordEboshi is constantly having to go out and mine cobblestone and cut down trees which is very distracting from building, so donations of Cobblestone, Regular stone, stone bricks, coal, oak, spruce and birch logs are highly needed, seeing as those are the main building materials of this town.
Lots:
Residents will be sold when the build is over. The inhabitants will have use permissions but not build permissions,as the owners want to keep a constant style of building in the town. Lots will be sold as pre-built homes to keep with said building style.
The main builder/designer/everything behind this operation is LordEboshi. The main supplier of good and building materials as well as the residence and portal ship funder is Natees.

Sincerely,Natees

Looks great so far, natees! I like the style!
I agree with Stevo, that some buildable lots will be better at drawing people in. You CAN dictate style, though, making sure they are aware that you have the right to veto, alter, and evict on those lots if they're not building in the style that would suit the area.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!
Stevo and LWK I completely agree, and Ill bring it up with LordEboshi. The people who most want to join a town are usually new players and since new players wont have stacks and stacks of wood they might just make a wooden plank cube which is exactly what we dont want. We could however either give them wood in the price of the house or have them get their own wood or something, but I completely agree with what you guys are saying.
Dalferes LordEboshi is going to look at the other banners (he isnt an active forum member () and hasn't heard of banners before) and we'll definitely get one soon as we can have a worthy idea.
An edit from before, instead of having a portal ship, Foxtown is going to get an airship. Should Foxtown come into a lot of wealth, LordEboshi would get a portal ship in addition to his airship .

It's VeteranCraft. If people can't get their own materials, especially wood, there's a problem.
If it's an issue you'd like to avoid, though, maybe set up a public forest outside Foxtown? Just have signs set up asking that they replant.

LWK That is actually a great idea. I can't believe I've never thought of that myself considering the one thing we keep needing in the building of Foxtown is wood.
In other news the name of Foxtown may be subject to change relatively soon. If you have a suggestion for a name, please comment or tell me in game! After toying around with several different languages (to no avail) Eboshi and I decided that the name has to be Fox-related (the symbol of a fox and the fox's relation to wit and cleverness is something we want to keep). If possible we would like to have vulpes (latin for fox) in the name.
