Rome is the base of  Wanderer_06 on the Survival 5 (Shepherd) world of the Dogcraft Server.

Overview

The idea is that Rome is a to-scale near replica of the city surrounding the Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

The base began its planning a few months before the start of Survival 5 in a world-edit creative world, in hopes of having a clear view going forward.

At the start of Survival 5,  Chriizsich,  Karbloem, and  Wanderer_06 (later joined by  Bigeater and  ChargedBluey) found a village West on Shepherd, and quickly set up starter farms and villager trading within. Being lazy, and with the end not having opened yet, Wanderer_06 decided to start Rome just next to the starter village, with the plan of slowly incorporating all of the starter farms into more permanent buildings within the city.

The end goal for Rome is to have a beautiful (and accurate) in-game version of the Colosseum and nearby Rome, with the Colosseum being a hub for server minigames and gatherings.

The Process

Construction of Rome began around 3/27/2022, just a week or so after the start of Survival 5, giving time for gearing up and some resource collection.

All of the buildings in Rome follow a similar process: whenever time allows, I (Wanderer_06 ) go into my creative world and build more buildings closely resembling the Google Earth versions in Rome, Italy. When the resources have been counted and collected, I build them in DogCraft Survival with the Single Player pulled up on a second monitor.

● The first building in Rome was a large-scale wool farm to supply future streets with light gray wool sidewalks.

● Quickly following the wool farm was an official storage room, into which all of the starter area resources were moved.

● All the while, Wanderer_06 was (and still is) digging out mountains and hills to clear land (and gather resources) for the Colosseum, the centerpiece of Rome.

● 5/2/2022 the outer shell of the HQ for Wanderer_06's DogCraft Pet Store was built in Rome.

The Colosseum

A HUGE part of Rome is (going to be) the to-scale replica of the great Colosseum. While the stands take up a large majority of the ovular structure, the center of the Colosseum will be an incredible (and large) pvp arena for all scenarios. Under the stands will be a large array of gear, tools, and possibly enemies to face in the arena, along with a multitude of other minigames for the enjoyment of players.

The Arena

The arena is the center and also open to air bit of the colosseum and has had a few brainstorming sessions along the way.

Some notable ideas so far include:

● A maze underneath a sand-covered arena that has ravagers inside, forcing players to navigate across and fight each other while ravagers hunt them down and spectators can watch from above.

● Mob cages along the sides like "How to train your Dragon" releasing challenges for the players to avoid and outlast each other with.

● A floodable arena for boat/trident battles

● The whole arena as a giant spleef arena, going down to bedrock.

DCPS - The DogCraft Pet Store

"DCPS provides quality animals to all servers in the best way possible."

Yes, this relates to Rome

Rome, being a privately owned and operated city, needs funding, but also some diversions from the constant grind of construction. The DogCraft Pet Store gives me (Wanderer_06 ) a fun break from building and grinding by introducing the adventuring, capturing, breeding, and transporting aspects of animals into my regular gameplay. How often do you breed pandas by the dozens? How often do you give yourself the challenge of capturing all 35 types of horses? Screaming goats? The fastest donkey? The 9-slot llama? DCPS also has the privilege of sponsoring the Colosseum with all its necessary mobs for fights, challenges, or even decoration!

Storefronts

The DogCraft Pet Store's only storefront (so far ;) is currently located in MOTTO (Plot Y17).
