Vassago 5 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Well, I said I'd have these up here by this morning. These are only ideas so far. I'm waiting to see what the verdict is to see which set to use. Anyone's thoughts or ideas on it? Although I would love to use it because it is very fitting, I am still unsure of the dark grey stone. My original issue with it was cramping, however when I built it, I actually liked it. But then I ran into issues where the building looks patchy because the stone set is unfinished, so I had to opt to other types of stone to finish the building as close as possible. >_< The first building is the flagstone. The next building is the original stone that was suggested. On this next pic you can see one of the parts, the bell tower, that I had to improvise to get as close as i could upon. Again, another part, the area just above the East Exit that I've had to improvise on to get as close as I could to what was needed to keep perspective of the building.

Gerek Darkheart 8 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'm so split on this matter, I think the first style looks great tbh.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gerek Darkheart 8 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 but the other design is good too.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan 5 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 flagstone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen d'Aguile 5 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 My vote goes for the darker stone as I mentioned last night. Personally I find the white bricks too bright and cold and only really like it in small quantities. I understand we don't want the buildings to be clones of each other by being in the dark stone, but i think it's too much of a jump out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy Forsyth 5 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Flagstone got my vote, the cathedral should be a bit diffrent from the rest of the buildnings since it's our "sacred place", but that's just my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen d'Aguile 5 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Just come back to the thread to have a look at the pictures and was thinking......is there too much roof? I dunno :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vassago 5 Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Nah. Just most people don't like doing roofing, but take a look and check in the Castles and Gardens section of Stratics at the few houses that actually have roofing. I am also limited by game mechanics in two ways. I'm limited to four floors and the graphics are limited because the game is in a 2D perspective viewed from the top, so you will see more roof than wall. The query that was raised was mainly over what type of stone to use, and what is more appropriate of a fit without looking too out of place as compared to the rest of the buildings. Changing the design of the cathedral itself wasn't much of an issue, nor can the design be changed drastically unless a a flat topped roof is installed, causing the building to lose its effect and look more like a fort or castle and less like a cathedral. (edit for spelling a grammar.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gerek Darkheart 8 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I actually more inclined to Flagstone now as well. However. Have you through about using archways for keeping up the balconys? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
