[ShardWarrior]

Character: Statesmini

Global:  @ShardWarrior

SG: Mini Freedom Phalanx

Shard: Torchbearer

Passcode: MINIFP-2745

Builder:  @ShardWarrior

 

The Phalanx Keep:

 

Prior to his death, Statesman revealed the location of the well to the Minis, whom he entrusted to guard it and keep it safe.  Fearing it would fall into the wrong hands, he had hidden it deep within Phalanx Keep, an ancient mystical stronghold located in a hellish place where few dared to venture....

 

A little history on the Minis:

 

The products of a failed experiment organized by the FBSA and administered by a joint venture of Freedom Corps and Vanguard, the "minis" were cloned from the genetic material of various super powered donors.  The project - code named "Operation Goliath" - was an attempt to build an army of clones after the heavy superhero losses at the end of the first Rikti War.  The experiment failed as none of the clones ever reached a height beyond three feet tall.  However, they did receive a plethora of superhuman abilities and have banded together to fight evil throughout the world.   This is a parody supergroup. 

 

Points of Interest:

 

Aleph Point -  The Forge of Hephasteus - workshop, empowerment and storage.  Small door on the West wall inside the Keep.

Beth Point - The secret location of the Well.  Small door on the East wall inside the Keep.

Daleth Point - Main hall before the throne.

Kaph Point - The Chamber of the Phalanx.  SG meeting area and crypt.  Read the magic spellbook on the table inside the Keep for the proper incantation to access this chamber.

Yodh Point - Return to the base entrance portal.

Zayin Point - Base of the primary drawbridge at the foot of the stairway entrance to the Keep.

Be sure to check out the interior of the tower with the grand mage's study is at the top.  The two drawbridges have the raising mechanism underneath and are controlled from the central rampart.  There are a few exploration badges hidden throughout as well.  See if you can find them all!  Keep an eye out for wandering hell hounds!

 

Be sure to use /visscale 5 or higher

There's a lot of really cool stuff posted in here. Everlasting has such a big talent pool. I'm adding my own base to the mix.

 

Character: Giovanni Valia

Global: @Gio Valia

SG: Shades of Arachnos

Shard: Excelsior

Passcode: 1-6811

Builder: Gio (Myself)

 

Villain lair of the Shades of Arachnos. Off-shore Arachnos base in the Rogue Isles, located not far from Grandville. On the surface the base has two functions, oil extraction and communications relay. However, the true purpose of it's design is to serve as a military base for staging invasions into Paragon City. Recently the structure has undergone many unsanctioned "improvements". There is talk that it's commander may harbor his own ambitions beyond Arachnos...

 

Access the subterranean levels via the surface elevator or emergency stairs. Doors function via portal effects; click the glowing section to pass between rooms.

There's a hidden cave (that in turn has a hidden cave with a tiny treasure box), but the best things a visitor may find are special moments best discovered in the course of a leisurely hike.

 

This base is a truly a work of art!  Very well done! 🙂

I have personally been to every base so far and I am blown away, you guys are so creative. This is going to be a great contest! 

Just having someone visit a base is a big accomplishment. Thank you for hosting this contest, and checking out the bases.

 

I'm looking forward to visiting all the Excelsior bases that are listed here.

 

Win or lose, this has been a wonderful event.

It has been my pleasure. I've walked away from every single base inspired by something. 

[Dacy]

Amazing bases! Wow, I don't know how you're going to choose! Thanks for doing this contest, and thanks for looking at all of our bases! Nothing makes a base builder happier than having people see their stuff. 🙂

 

In the ONES space ship, the Oranderite, I did want to call attention to detail. Check out, for example, the bar in the nightclub. There's a garnish tray for drink garnishes there. I tried to pay attention to detail in each room I did. Thanks!

First we start in our fictional portion of Kings Row.

 

Then we head to our base offices on Kings Row.

 

Next we see some of our base interior. From there you can head to the roof for Helicopter transport to the Rikti War Zone or... the transporters to our moon base.

 

Where we have an even large facility.

 

And the equipment to protect all of Earth.

 

Open world base building seems to be all the rage right now. To differentiate our base has multiple distinct portions and is NOT an open concept except the street in Kings Row.

[Boudicia.Dark]

Compared to most of these, mine is a tiny little place...it's a special place though, a magical psychadelic grotto, perfect for certain kinds of RP. Visit us any time and have fun!

 

• Boudicia Dark
• @Boudicia Dark
• Sapphic Sisters
• everlasting
• SISTERS-2084
• Boudicia Dark and Skroo Bahl
• OPTIONAL: Up to five screenshots of your base
  • Instead of screenshots (why spoil it? It is such a tiny base...) I choose instead to sing to you the song of my people, "Darkstar" by the Grateful Dead:
  • Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes
    Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis
    Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion
    Shall we go, you and I while we can
    Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
    Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter
    Glass hand dissolving in ice, petal flowers revolving
    Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of good-bye
    Shall we go, you and I while we can
    Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

Aleusha was the grand master poohbah behind the base. She worked for a year on it, I think the chandelier in the bank at night is clever and awesome 

 

There are portals to the apartments, oh and when you die and rez in the base hospital, the second floor is a bit disorienting. The portal is in the elevator where you would face out to press a button. In the bank, in the elevator look to the left it's how you get into the conference area etc. There are exploration badges for the areas in the town (but they of course do not award a badge). The train is her proudest accomplishment, made out of lights.

Passcode: alphad-1335

The base has a ton of other areas to access and explore, accessed via portal linked doors. Nervous an unguided judge will simply miss a lot of things 😮 

[Gremlin]

Wow!

 

I just spent the last 10 minutes boggling at these bases. I had no idea this type of thing was even possible.

[McSpazz]

Oh wow. Okay, I know there's no way I can win compared to some of the AMAZING efforts here, but I'm still proud of what I've put together and would like others to see it. Kudos to all of the other builders. You've earned it.

 

• Character Name: Sergent Gamble
• Global: @McSpazz
• 9-Tail Labs
• Everlasting
• 9TAILS-12137
• Builders: @McSpazz
• Description: It appears to be just a house situated among others near the primary Vanguard owned area just outside of the Rikti Warzone. But behind a bookshelf in the basement, there is an entry to the underground workshop owned by Trixie Gamble. 9-Tail Labs: We make it because nobody else will take you seriously!
