Insanity Lord
i think it looks good, but as someone said i think you should replace the grass with something else

neone have a good couple tiles that could be used in the courtyard, i cant find anything that looks good.

Both levels that were to be rated I found very plain.
You have a lot of unused space being taken up by the castle walltops (the sort of golden-brown tiles).

Perhaps add something to those.

Erm, I just tried to show him that his walls need some spunk, and some pillars

I think you should talk to Birdo about castles, I think he made Dustari, and it looked quite nice

I wouldn't say that land mass the castle is on is an island, rather that it has a large moat. As to the shape, I'll have to get back to you - I didn't pay attention.
~Edit~ It's a little plain, sort of as if it were manmade. Erosion wouldn't make those kind of straight edges. ~End Edit~

I meant his levels, not yours.

oh, its just close to the land that you can see on the left side, there is no land for about 10 levels on the right. (these are 4 actual ocean levels on DD right now, i didnt make the piece of the continent you see on the left of the island.)

In short, I meant that the island should be made a bit bigger, because for a castle that size, there's basically very little island left for other things. (It wouldn't have the required room to be a self-sufficient manor.)

Hehe, I never read a post fully

Cid_Night · #28 08-20-2002, 11:50 AM

well really this is kinda gonna be a kingdom of pirates...the castle is perhaps a bit grandeur for pirates but...OH WELL. There will be a LARGE dock system which will continue into the next levels on the right and bottom extending the town, since their primary military will be navy, we'll have lots of ships. (Yes, DD will have fully useable, multiple passenger battle ships, and will have an npc server as soon as Stefan can get to it.)

The island dustari was on is what I put the castle on. And that was it, inside the court yard I put everything. Not sure why he wouldn't have room x.x

ok ok the map is ALMOST done, now all it needs basically is grass detailing...did the whole thing in id say about 3 hours, not bad huh? i figure the grass detailing will only take about an hour, that makes 4...pretty good, tell me what you think, at this point you can rate it if you'd like.
