Another thing not very like what I usually post: some screenshots from my mc forever world :D
This is a world that is gonna reach 1 year old very soon!!! It started in survival but I switched to creative a few months ago because it is more fun that way ^^
The lore is that this city, called Vasilevgrad and later renamed Trotskygrad, was a medieval roman ("byzantine" if youre one of those ppl) settlement/trading hub on the volga river that slowly grew and created a hybrid culture of Volga Germans, Rhomios greeks, pontic greeks and ofc, russians! And thus I incorporate Germanic, "Byzantine", Neobyzantine, Russian, hellenic (and others!!!) architecture into it, creating it's own unique identity.
The world it takes place in is one different to our own, the post-ww1 german revolution succeeds creating a true socialist state, alongside a slightly alternative USSR, idk if it'd be an outright Leftcom USSR (havent worked out the details yet), but it's js a step closer to true socialism than what was there IRL, and theres no deportations or assimilation of ethnic minorities, with the republics acting wayy more independently (with some even having different policies from others altogether), specifically this city is the capital of the Volga German (in this timeline, the Volga German-Roman) ASSR!
This specifically takes place during the 1950s!
Some additional details Im not sure how to incorporate into text:
-The language spoken by the Rhomioi is a fictional greek dialect, that mixes medieval greek with aspects of pontic and modern greek, as well as way more loan words from German and Russian!
-The city acted as a place of refuge for rhomioi/greeks fleeing from the Ottoman empire after the fall of Constantinople and for the years following, bringing some ottoman inspired buildings to the mix
-Theres debates between the people on if they consider themselves the same or seperate from the Modern greeks, which follow a revived, neo-hellenic, ethnic/national identity.
Aaaand above the modern city, sits the medieval settlement! Heavily inspired by the fort-town of Mystras :D
CREDITS TO BUILDS/DETAILS THAT I DIDNT DESIGN/EDITED SOMEONE ELSES DESIGN:
-Church and Chapel in the medieval city were made by the channel "Byzantine Builder" on youtube
-Horse statues I used as a base were made by the channel MegRae on youtube
-Bird statue is an edited version of this one from pinterest
Sometime I might also do a post showing IRL buildings that inspired/I copied (no shame in admitting that) for ones in my world!
