Hilltown

Hilltown is an MCU city located North East of the Capital. It is accessible via the Green Line to Pleasantfield or the intercity rail. Hilltown is dedicated to visual aesthetic, with relatively short, wooden buildings that conform to the landscape. This quaint feel is what sets it apart from a sprawling metropolitan city. Plots in Hilltown average 7x7 and are free; the player who can issue plots are Frantic_Waffle and CowChew.

Hilltown construction began in December of 2010 and it was accepted into the MCU on February 15th, 2011. The city prospered until March 2nd, 2011, when a fire destroyed more than half of the town. The server could not be rolled back due to a recent update and a great effort was put forth by the community to put the city back together again. For a while, Hilltown recieved few new residents until its resurgence in May of the same year, when aggressive expansion doubled the city's size.

Building laws in Hilltown are few and simple: Hilltown became a territory of the MCU in April, 2011. Within the territory are two towns, Hobbiton and Alpine, as well as Hilltown Arena, and Hilltown Casino. Hilltown law applies over the entire territory, distinguishable on the map by being the entire island on which Hilltown is located.
 * Unless otherwise instructed, buildings may not exceed 2 storeys
 * Lava and Flint and Steel are banned, no exceptions
 * Permission is required to dig basements
 * Mining/digging/logging must be done outside of the province of Hilltown, or in specified zones.

Hilltown was founded by Frantic_Waffle and co-founded by CowChew. Both of these players are able to issue plots, develop land, or evict residents.
