Pretty Pretty Castle

I can't be the only one addicted to making my township pretty.  Yes, I'm working at developing and updating and orc killing and hiring new talent and cutting dragon toenails...

Anyhoos, I have searched and cannot find anyone chatting about how to make things cute.  With war and blood a constant, those left at home would want to be able to live joyfully in the town that their sons and daughters are fighting to keep and make better.

Can someone point to the links?

The prettiest castle belonged to someone named Victor in the Emperors, Not sure if he changed his name, But it was so pretty although it took me 1min 30 sec to load his cattle, and that is at 90 MB/s download speed, I will do it again and again. 

The most amazing, and loveable part was how his cattle loaded in a snail like pattern, like a spiral it will go round and round and then the red dragon will appear in the center, then it will breath fire and flowers will emerge. Pink, red and yellow flowers and green trees loading in spirals. 

It was like looking as Edvard Munch paint the scream in 1 min 30 sec, starting in the center. Amazingly fantastic. Find him. Maybe he will give you some hints.

But make sure you have good internet. It can take a while to load his castle.

For the love of god. HOW CAN YOU WRITE SO MUCH AND YET FAIL TO ANSWER THE ACTUAL QUESTION?

@Anjesayo

Prettifying castles isnt popular in this community therefore no links. You can start new topic about it if you want to though. Maybe few people will share their experience in "making things cute".

I can't say there aren't any  ''website'' links, and sorry but I can't help you. That is not my job. 

I provided the best help available . And I know it will help the player. I gave a link to the most beautiful castle I know, and i know if Victor is still arround he will help her. 

Please refrain from moderating moderators. If you can't provide any helpful input into a topic, then don't comment when someone does.

You really are hopeless. I am pretty sure helping players is what moderators here supposed to do. So it is your job.

"If you can't provide any helpful input into a topic, then don't comment when someone does." You should print that and put next to your keyboard. Practice what you preach.

@betenoirmobile

Thanks Tony!  I appreciate that.  I am going to incorporate the corral idea too :)

@Oracle

Nice suggestion, but it feels like you guys would have your hands full with implementing such a contest.    I think the theme in the castle Betenoirmobile was pointing out is something like,   the only true freedom is in death  (I've heard a quote a lot like that somewhere). 

Anyhoos, a contest could pick a theme or a famous one line quote, and make it so.  Either everyone do the same theme, or everyone pick from a gaggle of them. 


My castle tells a story, I just want more stuff to decorate with (and ideas to use what we already have :) ).


Thanks for taking me serious too :)

The story my castle tells is pretty much: "OH GOD, WHERE CAN I MAKE ROOM FOR THAT?"
Mine was organized until I found out about roads. When I started putting down roads, i moved everything out of the way. Later, by accident I found I could have simply left everything in place and added the roads under them. Once my roads are down, I an reorganize and maybe even make it look great. 
It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time before I found the edit control. I spent a week or two saving up sapphires to expand the castle because I thought that was going to be the only way to make extra room to build my Black Market, before working out that I was able to move things around a bit after I'd first plonked them down.

Yep, the big junked up castle get a trip and no wraith or guard raised from me. 3 min to load a castle is ridiculous.

So because players are trying to protect their castle and your tripwires you can't be bothered to help them. That does not sound like teamwork. I would suggest you ask for loading time improvements rather than failing to help your teammates.

So sending them a trip is not helping them? And the persistent serial trouble makers i make a note to move next to them and slap the snot out of them.


With the amount of time to play per day at 2 hours or so, So i should use half of my game time waiting for bloated castles to load? I dont think thats going to happen.

I must have a better computer and internet than I thought I bought.... NO castle takes me more than 15 seconds to load, even my own fat one.  I'm also almost apologetic to anyone visiting :(

Yours doesn't seem to be taking an inordinate amount of time to load, Anje.


Have you been digging some new wells recently? Or am I only just noticing things that have been there all along?

I may have added a well or two or ten.  I'm still trying to make it easy on the eyes, since I seem to be looking at it an awful lot

It is hard to find the balance between loading your castle with as much CD as you can, and making it look nice. 


here is my attempt.  http://prntscr.com/g4ekrr


You can find me on Server 2, LordsoftheBlackRose, Dailach (I'm a Cptn, so easy to find)

Here's mine but didn't realise how much the roads affected the loading of the castle. I would like most of these roads to be exchanged for saphs, so I can add other improvements instead. (I heard that this has been done before and would appreciate help)

and saw this one in Dark Phoenix and would liked to have said my walls were first, but they weren't.

Dear Lords

its pretty simply doing this thread without saying here the coords of the lords

if you see a pretty castle u want to share here its enough making a screen shot and insert it here

for example

'part of my castle'
