Design Delimma
So i just aquired a 13x18 fel house, and it is driving me nuts because its long and i just cannot find a good style that i like with it, its in fel yew and i wanted some kind of nice homey place almost like a cottage or somthing. I was wondering if anyone could do a 13x18 Design for me, i would like to have a blacksmithy room, tailoring room, kitchen, livingroom, bedroom and bathroom, it can be how many floors as needed would like some bit of roof and maby a romantic place to sit.

Re: Design Delimma
I have a 13x18 design you might like, however because your house is in a pretty popular PvP spot did you want something with lots of cover?

Re: Design Delimma
well a house is easy made
, just make a base like a normal house and put a ladder near it, than on the top floor let it be a bit larger so u have a patio downstairs and than make a nice roof ontop of it ...I' ve made a house like that once when i had a small plot in inner luna, was lovely ^^ ![]() the shadows will prevail |

Re: Design Delimma
Is the short side the entrance side (i.e. the "porch" side) or is the long side the entrance side?
For a rectangular shaped lot that you want to be "cozy" but secure, I suggest a building with a roof on portion of the lot and a nice yard for the rest, with a half height wall around the perimeter to secure it. If the long side of the plot is the entrance side, with 18 tiles, you can center your building and make 2 decent "side" yards on either side, perhaps a smithy on one side, and a stable on the other for example. You can make a nice welcoming gated entrance for the yard, but in reality, all you have to do to keep out the riffraff is make the access to the gate doors friends and higher, and hide a teleporter for yourself outside for quick entrance into the actual building. That will give you some security while not making your house look like a fortress (unless you are going for a fortress). This is just an example of what I mean by a gated entrance. There are teleporters under the plants. ![]() Here is one of Ashyn's lovely designs...I think it is a 12X16 or thereabouts. (Unfortunately we won't be seeing new work from Ashyn as she sold her account earlier this week and has left the game). ![]() Skylark Last edited by skylark; 8th July 2008 at 08:59 AM. |

Re: Design Delimma
Here is a house I made on a tiny rectangular plot where the short side was the entrance side. It was also crowded by the neighbors. It could be scaled up of course. In this case, the ladders can't offer restricted access, but I set the door to the tiny house as friends or higher, and there is a hidden teleporter at the porch by the house sign that takes the owner right inside the house.

Re: Design Delimma
looks excellent! Only problem I see is gonna be if someone decides to be kinda mean...they can target in the arches and windows for spells...
