Good eye Toff. Lemme take steps to correct this.
Uh oh. Mambypamby got lynched in the fantasy world!
Hmm, I think also the cruciform needs to have the bottom segment (nave) longer than the top (choir)... and traditionally too I think it was aligned north-south, so you might want to remember that when it's time to throw that badboy compass rose in there.
All assuming this is Earth-style Christianity, of course.

Hmm, east-west, OK, so I menembered wrong. That's pretty common for me.

Speaking of buttresses, why are the ones on the cathedral/church so large? Is that typical?

They did have some awesome beautiful gigantic buttresses. They're still standing.

Those look like flying buttresses, but these are usually attached to a column. They don't normally appear around curved walls (which can take the weight), but straight ones - to hold up the roof I think. They do look a little on the long side to me - but I'm no expert
Yep, if you make the nave longer then put the buttresses there. They are there to hold up the long flat curtain wall; the rounded parts don't need the support. If you want to avoid it looking Christian then don't put in a long nave, keep it like this...more of a crusader cross.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

you could always create another nave because the buttresses are way too long. What you have now seems like a mix between english and french gothic architecture (I don't recall large round choirs in english, while transepts in french were hidden in the main nave). Creating additional nave (or naves) would probably make your church resemble more french gothic, so... well, overall it's still your call but imo the buttresses are too long and it shouldn't be such a pain in the ass to change it, would it?
