    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I. Description

    Aquila is a beautiful medieval city in which you will not only be able to farm, but be be accepted into a unique community full of friendly members and unparalleled experiences. Simply walking through the streets of Aquila gives you a feeling of awe and respect.

    Aquila is completely pre-built by myself, incorporating houses of a cramped 10x10 nature to looming mansions that will make you stop each time you pass! Though Aquila is more than just a pre-built town, what REALLY makes it special is the bond found between every member and the town. You can own a Market Stall and sell your goods to other players. Within the town there is also a unique "Jobs" section, in which you'll be able to do tasks for the town that profit both you and the town itself. You can also apply for a leadership position within the town, all co-mayors are proven residents that are dedicated to helping fellow members! Perhaps the most unique feature within Aquila is the Points of Interest (POI) system; If you think you're an exceptional architect, you may receive permission from me to build a POI that will be showcased and rewarded with a large sum of ECD's. POI builders also receive a spot in the "Town Hall of Fame"! If all this sounds interesting, I invite you to read on! I promise that you won't regret it!

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    II. Rules
    1. No Griefing other members' or town property.
    2. Respect all town members
    3. No above ground farms without authorization from Falconaire
    4. You will be kicked from the town without warning for a full week of inactivity. Comment on this thread if you're going on vacation or will be unable to reach your computer to avoid this.
    5. Do not alter any of the exterior of your property unless given permission from Falconaire. This is in order to maintain the beauty of the town.
    6. Town Staffs' word is law in Aquila, disobey and risk a kick.
    7. I reserve the right to kick you if I feel you are not properly committed to the town, while it is not a requirement, I do not want you to be a stranger to our chat channel (/ch aquila), everyone on the channel is super friendly, and we welcome new members. If you are not using your house or dropping by the town in general, I will remove you from the town and give your house to more active members.
    8. The most important rule of course is to HAVE FUN :D


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    III. Benefits

    I've already given you the general outline of what Aquila is about, but here are some of the legitimate, no bs, features everyone on the town receives. If you have perms within the town, you qualify for all of the following:
    1. By joining Aquila, you will receive a build that is completely unique, and has never been replicated. (90% of builds in Aquila are designed by myself) This means you will own something truly special within ECC.
    2. We have a Town Portal, giving you easy and consistent access to the town. You won't have to waste a /sethome or constantly have to wait for me to TP you to the town (though I can if you prefer this method). The Portal can be easily located on the 3rd floor, Redstone row, in the town portal room. If you need more help finding it, the members of Aquila will be eager to help you.
    3. I personally offer free access to erepairs, anvil combos, water, pyro, and TP services, all completely free. You will also be given priority over other players on ECC. Just be sure to ask nicely!
    4. You have access to an interactive and consistent job system weekly! You can make a minimum of 1k every week for doing small work for the town! Check out section VI. "Jobs" for more info.
    5. Lastly, you have the town itself, I've never met such a diverse group of people in age, gender, and rank, who've come together in one common interest. Every one of these members are friendly, and are always willing to help those in need.




    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    IV. Points of Interest

    A large part of the town is POI's. POI's offer town members the chance to show off their creativity and improve the town, as well as receive some pretty awesome rewards. In order to get a POI approved, you must first contact me on the forums. In your PM fill out the miniature application to provide a clear message! (Shown Below) Keep in mind, POI's are highly competitive, and if the build doesn't meet the standards of Aquila, you will be politely asked to take it down, no matter how long you've spent working on it. Before asking for clearance to build a POI, please consider whether you actually have the skills to make a high caliber build. But, if your POI is acceptable, you will receive 15,000 ECD's as a reward, have your POI showcased in this thread, and receive a spot in the "Town Hall of Fame".

    POI Application Format

    Username:
    Your POI Idea:
    Desired Location of POI Site in the Town (Give Coordinates or Description):
    Do you accept that if your POI does not meet the standards of the town you will be asked to remove your build without a refund?:

    Current POI's

    Falcon's Point
    [​IMG][​IMG]

    Builder: Falconaire
    Falcon's Point is the spawn room of the town, the town rules, portal, ranks, and vaults can be found within this massive keep.


    Aquila Market
    [​IMG]
    Builder: Falconaire
    The market is where all goods circulate within the town. The stalls are in a medieval, rustic style and run by the residents of Aquila.


    Town Hall

    Builder: Falconaire
    The town hall is the center of town day to day activities. Meetings and Job chests are found here.



    King's Monastery
    [​IMG]
    Builder: Falconaire
    The town chapel, Sunday mass is held here.


    Falcon Manor
    [​IMG]
    Builder: Falconaire
    Falconaire's personal home, it is always open to visitors and towers over its neighbors.


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    V. Housing

    Possibly the most crucial part of a town is the layout of its structures. In Aquila the town is not just a flat city with square houses mashed together. Each building is built into the landscape. No house is the same, it's always a special experience going through dark alleys or dimly-lit roads to get from place to place.

    As I mentioned, all plots are PRE-Built. If you think you are exceptional at building you can contact me and we can talk about having you build your own house, but you will be asked to take it down if it's ugly or doesn't match the style of Aquila. Being as houses in Aquila are all unique, it's difficult to price them. Therefore, each house is put into a tier of either Small, Medium, or Large. More information below.

    Small House-750$
    [​IMG]
    Small Houses are generally 10x10 or smaller.

    Medium House-1,500$
    [​IMG]
    Medium Houses range from 10x10-20x20, these make up the majority of houses within Aquila.

    Large House-5,000$
    [​IMG]
    Large Houses are the premier homes in Aquila and give the owner plenty of room to utilize.


    Custom House-Negotiable
    [​IMG]

    Custom Houses are builds that you would like me to build for you to suit your needs. They are generally more expensive than Large homes, and therefore the price is usually 15k+, homes for the wealthiest of Residents. If a Custom House is built without your direction, it will only cost 10k.

    There is no personal farms above ground, however, small plants to increase the decoration of you home are allowed. This being said, you may create a private, underground farm so long as it stays within the boundaries of your plot, the maximum depth of these farms is y:20, anything lower and you'll be fined. In addition, any alterations to the exterior of your house will be punished.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    VI. Jobs

    Aquila holds numerous job opportunities, consistent from week to week. Each job is paid weekly on Sunday so long as the required work is completed. If you fall short of the expectations of your job you will not be paid, two weeks in a row of this and you will be either demoted or fired from your job. This does not mean you cannot continue your job in the future, but you will have a one week suspension period in which you may not carry out any tasks for a cash reward. Exceptions in regards to vacation, grounding, etc. can be made. If you would like a job, simply contact Falconaire or the head of the particular profession you'd like to join. They will give you your first task and a deposit box within the Town Hall. Deposit boxes are simply a chest/double chest (depending on your job/rank) that you will store the items you've obtained for your job to be collected at the end of the week by the Head of your profession. Below I have listed each of the available professions.

    VII. Staff

    Staff within Aquila have all climbed the ladder of employment within the town. They have proven themselves as dedicated residents and are deemed fit to be Co-Mayors in the town. Staff members are required to attend a Staff Meeting on Sunday to discuss new workers, pay, promotions, plots, etc. Staff hold a prestigious position in Aquila but are expected to live up to their titles. They are not only in charge of their profession, but adding/kicking people to the town, selling plots, and checking for inactivity within the town. To apply for Staff, please visit our Leadership Application thread.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    VIII. Complaints/Suggestions

    I am always welcome to feedback about the town, please PM me or leave a comment in the thread if you have anything to bring to my attention. The continual support Aquila has received since it was released has been truly amazing, and I really couldn't ask for better. Donations are graciously accepted, and you'll receive a permanent appreciation from me and the town in general.

    Looks great Falconaire do I get a house as co-mayor? And also, do I have to go to the meeting on Sundays because I'm usually not around then.

    Of course, you'll get a free house :D, the meetings will be a forums conversation, held throughout the day, so you won't need to be actively online.

    Assuming you're talking about my video, no. It was made by a company called FyreUK. They're British-based but they employ people from all over the world for the sole purpose of making awesome stuff and putting the videos on YouTube. Here's the link to their channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/FyreUK Red Rock City's my favorite.

    Me too. I saw the train station vid and was like, " I'm gonna make something awesome just like that." So I got started and about 30 mins later said this is bs I quit. Now there's just a sad lonely little hardly built train station on one of my creative maps that's just being completely neglected.

    If you check out section IV. Housing, it shows you he different plot sizes; small, medium, and large. The prices are 750$, 1500$, and 2,750$. I'll be on in 45 minutes, I'll PM you then :)
