I've decided to release Himeji because I have found myself unable to look at it let alone do the weeks of work required to finish it.  I am sorry to say that this schematic is nowhere near what I had envisioned for the final schematic as I had planed it to be an epic adventure map.  However, out of all the skilled and dedicated builders on this site I hope that one or more of you may continue on with this project and release a finished version.  If you do I only have three requests, first I would like credit for the MONTHS of work I have put into this.  Second, I would like you release it exclusively on MCSchematics.com.  And lastly I would only like to see the best of what you have to offer as I said I dedicated long hours to see this thing built right and I would hope that you would do the same.  Good luck, you'll need it.

Pictures and stuff can be found on the progress thread: http://www.mcschematics.com/index.php?topic=1240.0

P.S. if you have problems placing it on a map, be aware that it goes to max height and below sea level, so just make sure that the top of the cube is at max hight and you'll be fine.

By request I have included a world file download via mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?1wryq8l37e73cek

I'm adding a second Cartographer pic, which I will update with plans of how this thing is going to go down.  I've received interest from multiple people that they would like to make this project a reality.  The only way to do this in an organised fashion is for me to outline the distinct areas of the map and to describe what they correlate to on the medieval structure.  This will not only aid in applying certain builders to each segment of the project.  It will help this adventure map feel authentic.  If you wish to do your own research on the segment you wish to do, let me know and I can get you started right away.

Thank you for releasing this finally :D

You may not have finished it but it is still an amazing creation.
Bl1tz0r and I may finish this project for you once we have finished our other projects. :)
Hope we can keep it up to standards!

What needs to be done to finish the project off?

Oh, BUMP! (awards must come NAO!)

The inspiration for this came from a documentary I saw on feudal Japan.  It went into depth about its design and how it was build to repel attacks from invading forces.  Not just armies though... ninjas.  Its overall design leads you through a maze in which you are constantly barraged by arrows coming from all direction.  Once you are inside it gets worse as booby traps are laid out at every turn.  This idea was what inspired me to make this into an adventure map.  My advise is to use the maze to your advantage using dispensers and skeletons to simulate the barrage of arrows.  Inside buildings I would get creative with redstone and any trap you can think of, the more the better as it is you duty to frustrate invading forces.  The goal of the invader/adventurer/ninja/ninjas is to reach the top of the main keep (the biggest tower).  I would make the main keep crazy with mobs (bosses) and reward the victor with whatever you find fitting.

This thing is blowing up, thankfully some people are taking this off my hand so to speak.  I'll still work in an advisory role, with sole discretion to add or remove whatever I wish.  Everything else is now being left to others, which will be named as there contributions start coming in.

Do whatever you like with it, just give me credit if you repost it somewhere.  A server would be an excellent idea to get it finished, but there isn't one so far.  Keep me updated on your progress if you continue on with this.
