Francillian Architecture
Despite popular belief, most Francis worshippers much prefer building to fighting and griefing.
This page will be exploring the architecture used by the all generations of Francillians (FOK - COF - Red Empire - HSOF).
More specifically, the Tenced-Lord base line.
FOK
Early Fellowship of the kittens architecture was absolutely fucking awful.
There is no excuse.
But as the 'kittens' grew in skill and number, their main base Syracusai would show early resemblance of styles used in future bases.
Large statues in Francillian bases is tradition and is still being done in 2021.
Also in respect to base layout, Francillian bases normally have a central point where roads/paths spread from.
COF
New Hammerhall
New Hammerhall (or NHH) would see the start of Francillian-Modern architecture.
Tall blocky buildings and straight distinct named roads would make up the majority of NHH's architectural diversity. But this would also he the first base to host a Francillian Church, and is the starting ground for early Church of Francis Disciples.
(Sidenote: The Francis Cathedral in NHH was griefed during the base's evacuation in 2019, but was repaired by HSOF in 2021)
Francistan
Francistan, the direct descendant of NHH, would carry on the theme experimented at NHH but this time with a more aesthetic biome & better infrastructure. This would be a great success until it's evacuation during The Holy War.
Finally roads were being built in Francillian city themed bases, although oversight from the builders caused early build pallets to be limited to stone and smooth stone, later in the base's life this would change when concrete sky scrapers were made by the Francillians, inspired from DakkaDok's (Guest Builder) Mega Tower he built on the outskirt of the city. This Nos Aeterna - Francistan (NA-FS) architecture mix is the style foundation of future descendant Francillian bases like Two Words & Three Words.
Oneword
Oneword would be the first Francillian base since Syracusai to host a medieval theme. The base theme was inspired by Syracusai's Japanese district, but other districts styles varied.
This was the extremely unfinished shanty town district lightly based of Tudor architecture (15-16th century England).
Whilst building at Oneword, Tenced started to develop his own abstract building style which was partly due to limited resources, so structures mainly consisted of prismarine, sea lanterns, stone and glass. Two Words & Three Words would see some of these traits reflect in Tenced's sky scrapers, which in turn would see resemblance in Lord1's builds at these bases.
(Sidenote: First Francillian base to include stone paving in urban areas, would later be used in Two Words & Three Words to more extreme levels)
The Red Empire
Two Words
Two Words was a huge advancement in the NA-FS city style as builders would compete for tallest sky scraper, so creative designs were expected.
Tenced would develop his personal style first experimented at Oneword now at Two Words. This time he had access to more materials, so the good parts of his old builds would mix with the new modern city style and would create the sub-style nicknamed by Lord1: 'Dildo Architecture'.

Three Words
Three Words (Pre-Imperial War) was a pure mix of Lord's Advanced NA-FS style and Tenced's futuristic urban stlye (Closely related to Dildo Architecture, especially considering lack of interior). Although like the other bases, these styles varied from district to district.
Post War
After the BRP brought 3 Words back to life, it's architecture became a huge cooking pot of different styles due to the 20+ people that are now members. But damaged (now repaired) Pre-War builds still make up the majority of builds.
