	The '''City of Gaia''', or simply '''Gaia''', ~~is an under-construction~~ Mediterranean-style city on the [[Survival 4]] Husky world of the [[Dogcraft Server]]. Inspired by Venice, Gaia ~~features~~ twisting canals cutting through a densely packed urban landscape. The city was founded on the launch day of the Survival 4 world; the 1<sup>st</sup> April 2020, by a council of people comprised of leaders of [[Survival 3]] city projects such as [[Ouranos]], [[Chronia]], and [[Erebus]].		The '''City of Gaia''', or simply '''Gaia''', was a Mediterranean-style city on the [[Survival 4]] Husky world of the [[Dogcraft Server]]. Inspired by Venice, Gaia featured twisting canals cutting through a densely packed urban landscape. The city was founded on the launch day of the Survival 4 world; the 1<sup>st</sup> April 2020, by a council of people comprised of leaders of [[Survival 3]] city projects such as [[Ouranos]], [[Chronia]], and [[Erebus]]. Development within Gaia continued through the final days of Survival 4 in preparation for the [[World Downloads\|World Download]].

	==General Layout==		==General Layout==
	The main part of the city is a Venetian-style complex with canals running throughout the city creating another way for players to travel throughout. This area is positioned at the southern bay such that the south end of the city ~~borders~~ the sea. At this border, there is also a commercial harbor connecting the city to the outer world. Surrounding the ~~other three~~ fronts of the city ~~are~~ large granite mountains, terraformed by the Council and Senate members.		The main part of the city was a Venetian-style complex with canals running throughout the city creating another way for players to travel throughout. This area was positioned at the southern bay such that the south end of the city bordered the sea. At this border, there was also a commercial harbor connecting the city to the outer world. Surrounding the eastern and western fronts of the city were large granite mountains, terraformed by the Council and Senate members. An airport could be found on the northern side of the city.

	===Plots===		===Plots===
	Instead of plots with a specific layout, the Council ~~grants~~ people more flexibility with their building areas. Because of this, people ~~are~~ given larger plots of land to develop within allowing them to be more creative with the shape of their structures. The intent is to create a more interesting and developed area. ~~As always, the~~ leadership ~~encourages~~ builders to stretch themselves and to try more complicated techniques, such as diagonals. Since the style of Gaia is rather specific, and to maintain a level of quality, ''all'' potential citizens (called Applicant Citizens) ~~will be~~ required to build a small sample of their build in creative prior to building it within Gaia ~~in Survival~~.

	===Build Style and Theme===		===Build Style and Theme===
	The style of buildings within Gaia is, as previously mentioned, Mediterranean. The general era ~~would be~~ Renaissance, and thus ~~would be~~ mostly based on terracotta, stone, sandstone, brick, etc. with less emphasis on wood as would be seen in medieval builds. Numerous reference images and ideas ~~can~~ be found within the #inspiration-images channel on the Gaia Discord.		The style of buildings within Gaia was, as previously mentioned, Mediterranean.
