Greetings, Padma!
After settling myself at the Bohemian KuenstlerHalle in Bavaria, I went on my first visit to the westernmost lands. In the end, when i arrived in the town of Karachi, i fell in love with the desert landscape
Looking at the city, as i was coming to it by train, i had this great idea.
What i now most desire is to build a high tower, one that could be seen as far as Krasnoyarsk and Sant Regis. It would stand in the eastern corner of the town area, built upon a rock that stands there. It should stand as a landmark for the great Fanatika, right on our neighbors' borders.
It should be around 3 times higher than the usual tower you build, and so i imagine it would cost something like... 6 times more than the usual tower (300g).
I can pay as much as 2000g, plus some money i want to gather from organizations and from the government itself, as i will be donating the building to the Mayor of Karachi and to our beloved country.
I'll be posting a sketch of my plans soon.

@SAaM: I am very sorry about the construction delays. With the War, and everything, it has been hard to find and keep good help around here. But I have assembled a construction crew and dispatched them to Penguin to start work on your Palace upgrade. The new construction will provide: an additional bedroom, an additional living room, 2 additional "Other" rooms, 2 additional Upgrade rooms, an additional Dining Room, a Hall, a Steam Room, a Pool, Full Bath, Stable, and an additional Armory. I was also able to locate 2 licensed electricians, so wiring should be complete and unobtrusive.
@Strider: We can upgrade your Basic Large Palace to a Basic Special Palace for a bit less than 2200g, given your discount as an Acroama partner.
I haven't worked up the exact figures, but it should be about that.
@ikey: Sounds wonderful! I can give you a better price quote when I see your design, but right now I estimate something in the 1500-2000g range.

Okay Strider. I will find a construction crew and send them your way ASAP.

The primary purpose of the Lancre Fund is to promote the well-being of the citizens of Fanatika. As great art is uplifting to the spirit, it also contributes to well-being. The "Karachi Tower" will be a landmark visible for miles around, and will be a beautiful and awesome sight to behold.
Therefore, the Lancre Fund shall donate 1000g toward the completion of this project.
Padma
Director, Lancre Fund
(P.S.: ikey, you better make one helluva good design. )

I'd be happy to donate about 500 gold to this tower's construction. It sounds like a reasonable project...

This is going much better than i had imagined!
The design is coming this weekend. I have the idea already in my mind, but any suggestions are welcome. And now that we have a lot of money from donations, we could even work on some other projects like this one.
thanks for everyone for showing interest in the project.

Something like the Tower of Pisa (notice the absence of "leaning") would be very nice.

ok, here's the design for the tower i just made. I used several resources from the internet as to get an idea of renaissance-style buildings, and put them all together. In the end, it looks more like a gateway-castle-tower complex than just a tower, but i like it anyways
(notice the gigantic scale of the builsing, compared to the railway which enters the town of Karachi.)
Tower of Pisa as a name, or as in the pisa style of tower?
Tower of Kraft is a great name!
well, say what you think of it ^.^ it is subject to changes, so suggestions are always welcome.

Greetings all
Octavian, CT: Thanks a lot!
Strider: The idea started as just a tower, but as i looked at several resources on west european architecture of the renaissance - industrial time
[even that crazy russian's tower project, >> http://www.auburn.edu/academic/liberal_arts/foreign/russian/art/tatlin-tower.html ] ,
i ended up joining too much images together and the single tower suddenly turned into a ... uhm... not... a... well.... not more than just a tower (as you perfectly stated it ). Anyways, i liked the final drawing, so i kept it ^.^
SAAM: But of course! I'd be very glad to work on Cupertania's service! Contact me as of details
Padma: I'm still waiting on your evaluation of the costs for the construction, also for the creation of a fund for donations.
If anyone wishes to donate, please feel free to contact me. As stated before, this is a work done to the glory of the people of Fanatika, a building to be donated to them, not a private project. So, any donations welcome ^.^

Goodness! This is quite some ... er ... tower! As much as I hate to say it, I think my original estimate was quite a bit off. This is certainly larger than even a Grand Palace. I'm afraid to say that my estimate for construction costs has skyrocketed Assuming this is not to be used as a place of habitation, we can trim a few corners, but obviously, there must be a few rooms set aside for maintenace staff, and for the convenience of visitors. I think, bare-bones, nothing added, it will cost at least 12,000g.
I truly regret saying that. However, to offset the sting, I will raise the contribution from the Lancre Fund to 3000g.
