Actually, when thinking about necropolis, I imagine the Warcraft 3 Necropolis. That's also where I get the idea of souls going around it.

Updated. Just remembered the souls would be in occupied version.

This good? If so then I will work on occupied version.

not ready yet. It still seems like need polishing

I have one last trick up my sleeve.

Some new edits.

Epic

That's our savra, great work.

So is it good? If like to make the occupied version now but I need to be sure first. Wandering spirits are very picky.

Alex says that it is still too rough.

i think it could have little more contour or something to see the things on it - eg idea! make different shades, like the inner towers could be a lighter gray so would be more visible.

I tried cleaning up a bit around the outside.

Thx, any image help is welcome.

It is reay going well

@Stratego (dev) what do you think about it?

the concept seems fairly good,

altough i think it is not too clearly visible what is it and what it is contains
i suggested more contrast in colors + maybe outlining.

so not that stunningly perfect yet


also i would keep the mansion too as vampires live there

@Stratego (dev) if you enable another building counter for mini-mega we can make a mansion for a vampire sub-faction we are planning

that is not an option.

Why can't we make a mansion as normal factory?
Like imperial fortress?

Purely for vampires (i also want to see some expansion to vamps).

Well, we could make the mansion replace the dark citadel idea, but it would need to be 64x well, whatever works. I could resize it if I had the image. As for vampires we have @StormSaint373 denizens of the deep who can go here but after research. One idea I was going to work on which was the vampiress, female vampire sorceress. We could also put there:

dhampir- half human, half vampire they utilize weapons more and have the ability to use their vampiric powers.


And a Strigoi- basically a werebat.

These kind of creatures, though, are generally enemies to vampires (that often killed their mothers making them seek revenge against their other parent and the rest of his race).

Ok, maybe ignore the half breed human one, but the other 2, vampiress and strigoi, could go to undead as part of the vampires group. Also the ancient vampire or Night Lord, could go here too.

I would get inspiration from world of darkness too.

Anyway let's stay on topic

Just a thought, why not keep both mansion and necropolis and offer more mega variation instead of chipping one or the other into either 2x2s or factories?

That idea I believe was left for sub races (warfell, sand people, sunrise elves, moon elves, the such)
The mansion could either be included with denezins of the deep, or we just make it a 2x2 structure. It would be counted as a fortification and a smaller mega building that is easier to build in places that aren't accessible by a normal mega building (2x3).

An update.

The reason is that alex wants for all races a single 2x3 mega building. No new megas for subs.

Well, it would be nice if the mansion was just resized to the size of a mini mega, that way we don't have to make a whole new building just for it. Plus we wouldn't need to waste a good image.

images can ot be resized easily - they get ruined on resizing.

Not if done correctly.

Shrinking it isn't the only way to resize.
