Since 1.8 pretty much removed metadata and stuff, all the blocks in this build have been changed to the default ones which means it's all just bricks ands snowblocks. I might come back and make this place with normal textures but that's probably not going to happen :P

Seventeenth Century

Is known for the Dutch Golden Age and the (start) of the Baroque movement. And probably many other things that I do no know about. Recently I found a seventeenth century atlas, which inspired me to start this habitable fortress.

Start Fortress

These type of fortification was seen after the invention of gunpowder and cannons. Since cannons could easily destroy vertical walls, star forts were made out of sloped walls that would lower the damage from cannon fire. 
Another improvement was getting rid of 'dead-zones'. One part of the fort was supposed to cover another part and vice versa. This left no places to hide for attacking forces. 

Texturepack: 
Dokucraft Creative - found on dokucraft.co.uk 
Because of 1.8 and changes to how texturepacks work, I'm not sure about when or if the creative pack is going to be updated.
