Grantville is a city founded by Pokefan2426 on October 1st, 2017 (Exactly one year after he founded the town of [[Brightonfeld]] on the older creative map). As of July 2018, it consists of three separate interconnected boroughs: Downtown Grantville, Jena and Sulum. Each is connected by both road and rail. The greater city contains several landmark structures as well as a port, and an agricultural center, a cathedral, many mesoamerican pyramids, and an indoor water park resort. Grantville is located south of [[Camarion]] and north of [[Hong Kong]], as well as west of the Elytra warp (all based on the online map compass, not in-game). | Grantville is a city founded by Pokefan2426 on October 1st, 2017 (Exactly one year after he founded the town of [[Brightonfeld]] on the older creative map).

Grantville is located south of [[Camarion]] and north of [[Hong Kong]], as well as west of the Elytra warp (all based on the online map compass, not in-game). During May-June 2018, Grantville has partnered with Camarion and other neighboring townships to connect the region through rail. The area around Grantville has seen much development over the past months, with work on unaffiliated towns and shipyards to the city's east and west, respectively. | ||
Grantville's namesake is based off of the 1632 (or Assiti Shards) book series by Eric Flint, where a north American mining town in 2000 is taken back to the middle of the 30 years war in the Holy Roman Empire. However, the city only borrows names from the series, and the PCB city proper is unique and not based on the franchise. | Grantville's namesake is based off of the 1632 (or Assiti Shards) book series by Eric Flint, where a north American mining town in 2000 is taken back to the middle of the 30 years war in the Holy Roman Empire. However, the city only borrows names from the series, and the PCB city proper is unique and not based on the franchise. Grantville's roads are slightly smaller than some towns, with 2 block lanes. The reason for which is due to the scale of player characters to average car sizes. | ||
As of July 2018, Grantville currently has 2 out of 3 needed warp approval signatures, with the signature board being located in Hans Richter Plaza. Planned buildings include a spaceport, a metro system, an underground shopping mall and a modern regional history museum. | |||
