Can I claim fortresses towers and mega castle right now?
And I may try cool looking joinable walls maybe.
Tower suggestion: ok

New imaging is awesome guys, keep up the good work )

How about something like this for walls? Player color could be flags or something? Maybe shields like the old ones?

excellent idea to make it 3D ish! cool!
(maybe could be a little higher.)

Awesome actual enclosed fortress in the future maybe adding bigger around towers that hold 4 units with a castle in the middle, now that would be a siege?

Thanks! Do you mean a little higher like the front wall part? I used overlappers to cover the front part of the ones behind - do I need to make the overlappers longer?

yes, but the cornered walls approach we emailed about would be the best.

Ok yes!

i like it even though is a bit too thick

Here is some build sequence for towers and fortresses. I gave you a lot of options to choose from, Daniel. What do you think?

cool! they are up on server in 10 minutes.
(i decided to start from 2. images - since the first ones were barely visible.)

Ok, great!

Quick question: Should there be team coloring while it is being built?

i also thought about that, and was not sure.
maybe a little (very tiny) flag stung in the ground somewhere with a little stick?

in AOE they used 10-12 sticks in the contour of the "tile" having little player colored part on the top part of it.

so i think both is good idea:
- having little flag somewhere
- or having one (or some) sticks stung into ground somewhere witlh little 1-2 pixel coloring.

i have experimentally defined a zero phase for the barracks, showing under conctruction (just logs and stones on ground)

here is the image. I think we can use this image for all buildings until we have nice images for all stages of the build.
what do u think?

the barrack zero phase is up on server.

another version.

ok, all 1x1 buildings have this last zero state image.
up on server in 5 minutes.

Ok, cool!

also castle has a similar zero point image until we have a nice series of images.

i drew sketch:

How does it work? Is that a structure in itself or does it automatically change the image when a wall is next to it?

here is the CoolGuy first version of the tileset. and here i suggested some shading 2 types:
- 1st image with contour
- 3rd image only shading and here is screenshot (actually this version is up on server currently.

That looks so epic!

Cool!!!!
I tried it myself and have feedback.
The default image for unfinished buildings does not work for tiles that have water on the north side - It looks like it floats on the water...
On the same tile, the Green bit that goes up the left side of image 2 3 and 4 looks like it is grass on the water. I suggest taking this green away. Also the wall connects to unbuilt walls, so you may want to change that.
But can I just say OMG this is freaking awesome!!!

Yay! It is great! The engine is a little buggy but is cool. I'm making the walls a bit shorter so that will help on the looks of it.

Here are watchtowers. How do they look?

Look great! Nice image!

ok! thanks! the outpost is in!

this thread is closed, and i have opened a new about asking for construction images for other buldings.
