Well, he's indecisive. Tell him what to do!

  1. Save up and get EcoMaster.

  2. Build something that makes Zenith look like amateur hour.

    Zenith is elegantly designed so that the center of attention is loaded from every angle. It would be very difficult, near impossible, to do this with such a large building. I ran into this problem when designing castle venito.

    If you go with a 400x400 palace, then I suggest not using a centrally planned design.

    Whatever the case, you never disappoint. I just think that a Lancaster revival would be a better use of your fortune. Lancaster is your legacy.

    It's true. Sight lines are the bane of any truly large build in Minecraft. It's why it's so hard to build a great "cathedral." You would never be able to see the whole length of a proper nave.

    I agree, I had that problem with my cathedral too. I managed to get a good solution for monumental ecclesiastical architecture, but it isn't ideal. I can show you some time. The trick is in area optimization and mathematics.
