Introduction

The goal of Project Eros is to have our own take on the famous Kowloon Walled City on MCO, so the builds in this project will be highly inspired in its general architecture and chaos.The city was NOT suppose to be a replica of the Kowloon walled city lol so you would see somthing like a creeper statue in the area. The city was suppose to be dark af for mob spawning everywhere even at day, however it seems impossibe sue to minecraft lighting up the block as long as no block is on top os it.

< Darkerfly> I was desperate for fresh idea you know

Project History

Where it start

On 17th August 2020,  1Catnip started the conversation about building the famous Kowloon Walled City in MCO.  Darkerfly,  DarthSagit,  Freskooo and more got involved.

< 1Catnip> Let's all make MCO Kowloon walled city in MCO
< Aziroeth> YES
< Drdrs> L
< Darkerfly> that actually a good idea catnip 
< Freskooo> I'm in
< DarthSagit> LOL
< 1Catnip> Ahahah we'd all hate each other after like 3 days

Starting off

After discussions, they concluded the high possibility of this project and establish some basic concepts of the city. Therefore, after  1Catnip's persuasion,  Darkerfly opened the discord server for the project.

< 1Catnip> If we're serious about this I suggest someone make a discord to help plan things out
< 1Catnip> I assume DF is gonna take the lead for this one
< Darkerfly> smh me taking the lead?
< Darkerfly> seriously
< DarthSagit> lol Darkerfly's city
< 1Catnip> Well df you seem to know what you're talking about
< Darkerfly> ok then
< Darkerfly> give me a sec

Named

Shortly after the establishment of the discord server, the name for the project had also been decided - Eros, named after the child of the god Chaos in Greek mythology.

< 1Catnip> What if we do something like Gaea or Eros, they're children of a Greek god of chaos
< Aziroeth> Broken paradise?
< Mechman007> Yes catnip!
< Freskooo> Project Eros sounds badass
< Mechman007> Gaeros!
< 1Catnip> Broken Paradise is cool, Eros is a cool project name
< Aziroeth> Yeah, Eros is a cool name
< 1Catnip> Well I'm afraid if we go gaeros we'll be called gayross xD
< Aziroeth> Lmao
< Mechman007> Tru. Eros it is!

Where to be

A few possible locations were suggested. Some discussions later, it was decided to be founded on a swamp that 2000 blocks out of Newport.

< Mechman007> So yeh... Location? What biome will help - a swamp?
< Mechman007> Swamp grass is perfect colour and mostly flat
< 1Catnip> Swamp would be good but dealing with lakes is an ass
< Freskooo> placing dirt is fine
< Freskooo> it's worse to have to flatten

Soon later...

< r9q> (send an image of the swamp location)
< mechman007> Perfect!
< 1Catnip> LOL
< 1Catnip> I literally just found that

Setting up

A portal was made by  Darkerfly shortly after with the help of  WaffleNomster. Then, on August 19, 2020. A soft line have been made to mark out the area where the city gonna be, also allowing people to fill in lakes with dirt. And people start to work.

Start of Build

who made the first house, who made what first... dorp made the first cobblestone farm

Mob problems

Due to the city having limited lighting, mobs would spawn during the night, hindering the building process. However  Mechman007 used this chance to create a build idea. He built a building where the people of the city could exchange the loot from mobs for items. It is a cool concept and you can see the little hut at the front of the portal.

come back to live???

Maybe, one day.
