A shame these guys weren't available a month ago...damn beautiful.
As it is now, I've gone through the pains of handcrafting my towers and have half of the levels completely built already, I am hesitant to start from scratch for these guys. However, for future builds these tiles will save time and look a bit better, HEY AL!

Those of us who have not started our tower-intensive project yet would be much appreciate tower room set.

I am banging my head against the wall right now for not thinking of this.

I hated the hump at the bottom of our tower walls...but built around it mumbling. Then today, I thought....you dumbass....change the height of the wall and bury the hump at the bottom of it! I changed the height of all my curved and straight peaices to 2.8 and then paged down to bury that annoying hump...giving me a straight wall all the way from top to bottom. Gods, sometimes I wonder about me...

Will post picks once I fix all of my towers.

Easier to place things flush against the wall now, plus a little extra room all around. Looks better IMO as well...took a little time but I reformatted all of my tower levels to the straight walls, and corrected all the placeables I set so far in accordance.

Better late than never, I suppose.. :mad: :evil: :oops:

Ask, and you shall receive (within reason, at least).

A step further on the tower top I created....using thinner walls I made two anterooms for my intended top paladin rooms...possibly a seperate room for both pallies, possibly rooms for their pages...not sure yet.
