Else... just great Edited: 2010-11-22, 23:44 Top Quote

The flags will all be fluttering in the same direction as the flags on the roads. the left part of the palisade looks to straight in comparison to the others - i would like to see it a bit more bowed. I'll make a few adjustments. Thanks for your comments! I see little people. Top Quote

Just compare it with the roof of the well. Of course it looks nice anyway Edited: 2010-11-23, 00:24 Top Quote

Just compare it with the roof of the well. Interesting idea. Thanks. I'll play with it and see what I come up with. Of course it looks nice anyway Thanks I see little people. Top Quote

It's more like a square with rounded corners so the round roof of the well just wouldn't work. (Note: As you might notice, I'm toying with the idea of banners hung beneath the high windows to add even more player color. They are gray in these pictures though.) Thatch Wood Small Thatch What do you think? I see little people. Top Quote

Enough playercolor? (Remember they will all be fluttering. It should catch your eye.) I see little people. Top Quote

(Thanks for the idea anyway, Gannaf. Keep them coming!) The pennants are almost too much, but we want some way to reflect player color. Perhaps I can also incorporate a cloth structure like a yurt or awning. I'll play with it some more. If anyone can point me to (or better yet, show me) images of European or Scandinavian tribal totems/markers, I can use the inspiration. I, too, am torn between the two thatch roofs. The more I look at the larger one, the more I like it, but I would be happy with either one. Now for me it's back to the drawing board... literally. I see little people. Top Quote
