Update 12.2.13: Did some terraforming, got rid of the Christmas decorations. Updated all images! Also changed the description.

What is this thing?
This is a medieval/Japanese style kingdom I've been working on. This is its capital. The main building is the ICE Palace, the huge building you can see in the middle, which is the spawn/headquarters of the kingdom, and is actually sorta 'separated' from the town itself - the spawn of the town itself is at the gatehouse square and is only for kingdom members, whereas the palace serves as 'global' spawn for non-members. I spend quite some time figuring out a style which was simple and fast to build, yet looked good and unique, and I quite like how that worked out. It really comes alive at night and I did a lot of work on adding fancy lightning details, simply because I love night/working with lightning :P I wanted to add guard towers around it but it kinda ruined the look of the town.

The build
About 50% of the work was done with WorldEdit (pathways, terraforming, etc), the rest was done by hand (pretty much all the buildings). It was built on a server so I don't have a map download.
