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.

- Claim land [DONE]

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.
