Buidlings' images redesign request

[makazuwr32]

I and @Alexander82 were discussing images of buildings and we agreed that some of them need more love.

So here is current list of buildings if their images will be changed the game will benefit greatly:

Remade:
Human barracks (looks like hangar, not like barracks)


Inspiration:





Human dock (what is that hut on posts?)

Human castle:

Inspiration:



Maybe human stables:

Inspiration:


Dwarven barracks
Dwarven shooting stand
Dwarven tavern
Dwarven craftsman's guild
Dwarven bridge
Dwarven tunnel

Revamp into new building type:
Human mage hut (revamp into mage tower):

Inspiration:




Some polishing and some updates:
Orcish Volcano (needs some love, also weird to see green volcano or white volcano)


Orcish stone shelter (tower one, needs some love)


Crypt (needs some love, as for me too 2d-ish)


Great tree:
Great tree itself can be kept as it is; i am asking for some city-like decorstions around it.

Inspiration:

Any image makers are welcome to try!

[Savra]

Supply the images and I'll get to them after I'm done with the Necropolis.

(Docks and a few others I could do from scratch, dwarves ones I already have.)

Dock and barracks as for me also require revamp from the start.

Great!

[Menselot]

hah.

I will add this to my list of "might wanna do in the future"



Also I agree about the barracks it needs urgently an upgrade

[Alexander82]

these are some very old concepts (probably like 5 yearrs old) when I started making images for AoS

they look ugly but if you like the concept I might try improving them

[makazuwr32]

First variant looks intresting enough.

[Savra]

Team colour might need to be more shown but I believe I got the lava right.

[Alexander82]

It is already much better. I wanted to try making it mosre similar to a real mountain (so more conical, maybe taller but thinner in the upper part)

[Savra]

?

[Stratego (dev)]

i think you are playing with alread pretty nice things in this topic lol

[Savra]

?

[Puss_in_Boots]

Awesome, but too blurry.

[Savra]

Ya, I figured as much. I'll try and edit it to smooth it out more.

[DreJaDe]

I know that's too awesome for the game but here's my suggestion

Why not design it instead of medieval inspired to romanic inspired buildings. Since this is a fantasy game, making look clean like the Roman design will make it more fantasy like. I know medieval design is more realistic for other but since it's a fantasy game... Why not?...

[Savra]

That would probably work for a sub race but not main because it doesn't match.

[Puss_in_Boots]

Rome is having a potential mega in AoS. Fantasy still follows rules, it's not just let's give them this because why the crap not. I'd rather not have a roman castle in place of AoF's castle. Instead they should either be themed after the units they produce. Like imperials and drake riders.

[Savra]

Updated.

[makazuwr32]

Roman mega can be in theme for sand sub alex wants for humans.

[DreJaDe]

Hmmm... Okay seems fair

Still, just don't make the buildings look dirty like some medieval concepts that they say makes it look more realistic. I think just making it look clean and all would fit more here since we have magic and stuff.

Also I still see the castle to be a but blurry...

[makazuwr32]

I agree that it is blurry.
Needs some more work.

[Savra]

Maybe I should try a brick design...
Hmm.

[StormSaint373]

I actually like the first one better. . . Has the look of a REAL castle.

So, maybe base final off of 1st.

[Savra]

Well, I was thinking about going back to the first castle and just reskin it to a similar design as the imperials. I planned for an upgrade to the castle that would be a palace. I also planned an upgrade for the volcano which would be a super volcano, I can't think of a means to upgrade others (some can't get upgrades e.g. Elves and scaledfolk, unless they are just upgrades to their stats or new abilities which I have figured out) Necroplis and Kingdom under the mountain I might do the same as elves and scaledfolk in that they could have stats upgrades. The reason humans and orcs would have a new building form is because the images would have to be updated to go along with some of the things and abilities that go with it e.g. Orcs super volcano would come with a lava moat, some unique abilities, (2 of) humans palace would come with a moat, trebuchet's, burning oil couldrens, and some other abilities. I will discuss it it later on how I saw the structure of the ideas worked when I'm done with the redesign.

[Alexander82]

That idea seems interesting.

[Puss_in_Boots]

I dunno, super volcanoes are just naturally an area of crust enclosing high amounts of pressure from the mantle. They just look like holes in the ground (waiting to cause several winters in North America) with nothing special surrounding it like mountains..

Do not tell me there are other types of super volcanoes that don't look similar to Yellowstone.

[Savra]

Ya, your right maybe we can call it a volcanic ridge, volcano cluster, Volcanic conclave (Since it is a meeting place of multiple races), or kingdom under the volcano (dwarves mountain blew its top ).
