These days I play Supreme Commander, which is probably the greatest RTS you've never heard of! 

I do daily uploads of gameplays, replays and tutorials - check out my videos you might like them :)

Channel:    http://www.youtube.com/user/ZaphodX1

Subscribe:  http://bit.ly/-subscribe







IMPORTANT:
Designed to be used with BetterDefault v3.6 texture pack (only 200Kb)



Well My computer died on me and I haven't been able to do all the work I wanted to over the last week. I've crammed in as much as I can over the last 24 hours, and it's finally finished. 

I've been on really low FPS, and minimum settings using Optifine. The whole thing had to be in default texture pack because of my damn computer, but I still think it turned out pretty good!


Thanks to:

ZaphodX - Concept, design, ideas, terraforming, tweaking
Dingotar - Big part of building from the start, and keeping me motivated
AAmdahl - MASSIVE thanks for being there and helping me loads with getting the last bit finished <33333

Palaeos - Giving me a good bit of last minute help
Tainz - Giving me a good bit of last minute help



I really went for a tropical feel for this one, and concentrated on the terraforming and design of the island, with less dull hotels and more of a few super luxury villas for the esteemed guest.





Features:
  • Huge world height, massive peaks above the normal contest island
  • Massive undersea coral reef, with fish, kelp, lighting, big shark, and an angler fish.
  • Massive tour around the island, through the underwater coral reef
  • Natural suspended underwater lava lakes all around the island
  • Massive Volcano
  • Air balloons everywhere
  • Lots of palm trees for a real tropical feel
  • Huge open plan layout and terraforming
  • Large terraformed beach area overhanging the coral reef
  • Luxury treehouse and villas
  • Large floating castle

To get a lot of subs press the windows key, tap the right arrow twice, then press the R button
Win, right arrow,right arrow, R 
the faster you do it, the more subs you get.

What did you use to get the island set up in the correct way? A combo of WP and VS?

MCEdit for the lava pools and the +30 height adjustment.

Terraforming was using WE and VS.
