New Alexandria is a large-scale, realistic city composed entirely of buildings inspired by Roman and Greek architecture. The city contains both practical buildings (farms, vaults, a large public mine, smelting area, etc.) and an assortment of wonder buildings inspired by real-life ones (Pantheon, Celsius Library, Roman baths, etc.)

Everything has been constructed and terraformed without the help of cuboid or item spawning over the course of four or so months.

Roman Baths Done, Progress Continues : by jimmydief117 05/21/2012 2:13:32 amMay 21st, 2012

I've completed the Roman baths, a visitors' center, and an aqueduct after a long hiatus. Progress will pick up pace again once I finish laying out the section behind the Pantheon complex. I'm planning on making it a residential district with temples and the baths at the far end. Small amounts of progress have been made on the Colosseum and Parthenon as well.
