That’s something I’ve been pondering this week. The problem with these towers is how they work with regular modules – because the goal is to prevent tilling as much as possible, the modules are not fitting into a precise 2x2m plane. Well, the plane behind the stone is so you never actually have clipping issues, but the stones themselves leak on both sides to break the repetitiveness. This leads to some issues with angular modules, like this one, where a module has to be patched on these corners to hide the “floating”.
Now what I’m thinking to do is to create a specific 2x2 module just for the towers (one with a 45-degree angle, the other regular). This would remove the need to use these patching modules, although I’ll still leave them in the pack for those who like them.
For the time being, the set will probably keep the same shade to blend everything together. The reason behind this is that most pieces of architecture are exposed to the same climates. Sand, dirt, and moss all take possession of the materials used in the stronghold over time – The goal would be to break this by using outstanding props, NPCs and lighting to add some kind of dynamic to the scene.
You can be certain there will be flags. This time I’ll try to make them work with Physx, to give a really neat look.
Got to say that you really know how to envision a narrative. I do admit that this sounds really great.
Now, the thing is that this part is what we would call as a fake. This is something that was done throughout the middle ages, where castles and strongholds are purposefully inflated beyond utility. To give you a practical example, the Hedingham castle in England had, from the outside, five layers. A basement, a lower-level ground and an upper gallery. The two top layers were empty and made of fake holes to give an impression of grandeur!
I am unsure why, but I am unable to open your attachment.
I’ve been thinking about adding a bridge. That’s something I’d definitely like to do, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to fit it in there. I’ll definitely do my best to do it, though. Thanks for the thorough feedback @unit23
