I feel like I'm forgetting something, state subject to change.

Might have to change something.

I kind of figured that considering I didn't have other complete examples of coastal defenses.

What are these supposed to look, like any images.

For the tower I was thinking maybe just modify the Orcs stone shelter a bit of one of the stone spikes and just add a little cave near the top or a structure on top. You could even put a torch or fire up there it's up to you.

For the blockade I was thinking of jagged black rocks poking out of the water.

Sounds good.

Does this look fine for the physician barrier?

Yes that's great.

I would like to get ahold of one of the stones in map editor so I can try and modify it to be the Obsidian shelter.

Here's the Obsidian shelter.

So this ready or still need some work?

Does Not loos really a tower.


May try a different design not volcano style.
all structures.

It was supposed.to be a physician spire, as for the barrier it's also supposed to be made of obsidian. Orcs would be the only ones who would have access to this since it requires rapid cooling of magma to make, in the end orcs have a sturdy coastal defence that is on par with their land counterparts.

The tower could use some work though, probably some physician shards sticking out at the bottom.

Would something like this work? Btw should I replace flag with tribal systems?

Looks nice, do we have stats to go with these.

Look no further then the top.^

Here's an alternative to obsidian blockade.

That should definitely work.

Here's a remodel of the obsidian spire.

I do like it but it seems a bit too dark I guess.

Might lighten it up. V t I'd like it to have a more obsidian look.

The blockade is nice.

Both stats need changes.
As for functionality, goblins can't swimm so building a normal tower along coast, makes no difference than building it on next tile on water. Same as wall (3-4 current cost and also holds units)
And too strong(hp and armor) and cheap.


Could be blockade spawning after a tower collapses.

For water tower I still prefer something else.
Some water-related structure, with different ability than burning.

Actually theirs going to be water goblin servants that build these. Obsidian is formed through rapid cooling of molten lava and the best way to do that is through water with is why I suggested it. Building could be raised for the walls when we get a better idea of how coastal defences should work. Btw I did some modifications to the obsidian spire and also made a blank one with those colour palettes on it if you want to make your modifications and such.

.

Here's another try.

Here's another try.

Actually this looks better. Maybe I should change the blockade to same colouration.

Looks pretty nice but the front seems a bit too dark making it looks flat.
