Secret of Nimh Base

Well after much frustration and ploting of what this base was going to be I came up with and idea and am going to follow in the footsteps of some of my fellow basebuilders.

I have gotten the flow of my base settled and am now starting the decorating process. The concept for the base is based off of the movie the Secret of Nimh, where poor Mrs. Brisby must talk to the rats of N.I.M.H. who live under the rosebush at the farm. Don't know if any of you have seen this delightful movie but it is neat.

Please as I post pics of my progress please let me know what you think or any ideas to help me along.

overview of the base. Please keep in mind that the entrance is the center and all the rooms that you see will be also on the other side


looking down into the entrace room


entering the base


down the steps...what is this place?





well that is it for now. I will keep posting as I get more done.

Looks like your off to a good start.

The real question is though, didn't I hear somewhere they plan to remake the movie?


Enjoy your day please.

Okay after a few task forces I finaly got enough money to do an update so here it is. Still decorating though and will try and post a bit more as that goes on. Though my computer is acting funny.


placed a new room so eventualy the medbay and entrance will be the point of simitry


made a few changes but not much




looking into the first of two teliport rooms
Now I have not decorated or done much in the line of color yet. I did take a pic after the lighting and color was done but the pick did not turn out so good.


Going the other way and looking into my new room, before I have moved any porters in there.


here you can see the lighting and the coloring in the room and this is looking into the workshop and yes it has a second floor. My plan for the teliports is to have them split into green and yellow train lines to make things easyier but then again I might change that. Sugestions would be helpful.


The bottom of the workshop


The stairs going up


looking at the upstairs. Should I leave the storage racks up here or move them down?



Well that is all for now. Happy Building!

Looks great! The floor is spot on.

Thanks Turbo! A few more Task Forces and I should have all my rooms in place.

Yes I am still working on this, though I need to do about 2 more TFs before I can decorate anymore. Slowly it comes along.

Okay the base has been put on hold. I am trying to earn more prestege to get one more room so that the layout is done and I can place all my porters and now my hard drive is doing the slow death...I should be back up and building in about 2 weeks, I hope

Okay after a month and a new computer I finaly have new pics for you guys... let me know what you honestly think.

I like your use of color and how you stacked the 2nd floor. Looks great, keep it up! (the new compter pics look much better)

I gave her the idea of splitting the Teleport rooms and using the coloring for the different Trains sections.

It has worked well for us and plenty of room for expansion.

its nice being able to turn up the graphics all the way. Thinking about redoing the stairs in the second workshop.

Hope your feeling better. Looking forward to your updates.

Looks great Sidhe.

Is this base on Triumph? I'd love to take a tour.

I can also "donate" prestige to your cause by having one of my alts temp. join your sg for a tf or two.

just let me know


Triumph Lurker: mintmiki 50 emp/archer
basically, if you see a miki on Triumph, it's probably cute and it's probably me.

Huge thanks to cuppamanga and all the folks in the mac help forum for prolonging my borrowed time on this game.

yes I live on Triumph and sure you can park and alt in our SG we would love to have you. I have been a bit sick for over a week now and getting the updates on here is crazy, I missed a ton.

Just send myself or Troll a PM in game and we can get you invited in. We are mostly on during the weekends and Turbo's MITF runs

Finaly done....I think
or well for the most part, what base builder is ever really done??? Well here are the pics, though I must say it is better to just be going through the darn base so if you want a tour please PM me


The Entrance




Going into the first teliport room this has all the lower level or Green Train places.







Then into the smaller of two storage rooms and small library







those stairs go up to this....





Back downstairs and head into the power room





A quick peak into the Medical Wing (I have started calling it MedLab for some odd reason)





THen the large storage room and growing library







Now you have almost come full circle and into the upper level or Yellow train transport room





There you go, any feedback I would love. As I worked I enjoyed all of the encoragement thanks to everyone.

I am really fond of the bricks you added in-between rooms. Looks great! Only feedback I can give is too lighted up some rooms. It may just be my work PC that makes it look dark or it may just be the theme you are going for.

Will work on that later...the second workshop I know needs lights but I was just too lazy to bother with trying to stack them. Thanks Turbo.

Sidhe_Blade has toured the Spring Knights base ... which I believe has instilled the proper respect for what lighting can do for you in a base.


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
