Hello there!
I have recently embarked on the project of creating and expanding the city of Merek. I'm building this gritty medieval city on the survival server of Kingdoms & Empires. You are free to walk around while it is being built, and to explore the city as it grows. If you'd like to connect to the server to see the city the ip is Mc-Experience.net. 

What this city will include is: 

The upper layer
This layer of the city is where the player first spawns. This is where all the main builds, ships, docks, and whatever else are located, this whole layer does not go anymore then a few blocks underground. (This layer will be compleated first)

The Middle Layer
The middle layer of Merek consists of the city sewer system. This layer will have hidden rooms, an extensive network of sewer tunnels that are about 10-15 blocks under the surface of the upper layer, there are ladders all around the sewers to climb up and down from different areas of spawn. There are also tons of interesting underground markets, taverns, and slum like hideouts to find. This is where the muck of the city hide and is also a quick way to get around spawn without being seen. (This layer will be compleated after the upper layer is compleated)

The Lower Layer
The lower layer only has one entrance and one exit. This layer will be close to bed rock and will only be accessible by entering an open tomb in the grave yard. This layer goes by the name "The Catacombs." The catacombs stretch underneath most of spawn and have hidden libraries, tombs, crypts, and more. Players in the Catacombs will not be able to hear anyone in yell (150 block radius) or say chat (50 block radius) to help create a feeling of solitude and aloneness.  (This layer will be started on when the grave yard is compleated)

Merek is designed for players who love to role-play and is meant to have many secretes that will not be released by me on these or any other forums. But, I will show you the general layout of the city! 

Merek is no where near finished as of now, but is being heavly worked on by just me. I don't have a team of any sort, and I build alone. The texture pack i'm useing for the photos that are being displayed above is the MCE resource pack. The shaders I use are called "High Preformance Shaders." (And I highly reccomend them!)
