Badwolfe 244 Posted February 23, 2017 Any chance we can see a screenie of the fort gates closed and sealed Pann? 1 JamesGoblin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinnis 8,023 Posted February 23, 2017 My first thought: how many characters do we need to piggy-back build a tower to jump over those palisades? (p.s. any eta on your plans to give duelists the capacity to burrow 'under' structures?) 3 Belantis, Frykka and JamesGoblin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZYBAK 3,118 Posted February 23, 2017 Looking good. I have a feeling these will be fairly common at the start of campaign worlds as guilds pool their resources for the bigger things. 1 JamesGoblin reacted to this SIGN UP HERE to get FREE Crowfall Beta Access + 5% OFF any Crowfall package!

chancellor 1,805 Posted February 23, 2017 The campfire in the center is silly. There are 2 chimneys in the front, so why not put fireplaces in them? And the big hood in the center is unsupported. Even if those stones are mortared together, they would tear free of the wood eventually and collapse upon the occupants. Can we shoot through that window in the corner of the outer wall? It looks like any race but centaurs could crawl through it. That wooden parapet could have a wooden walkway behind it, instead of the occasional window. 3 JamesGoblin, Zolaz and baerin reacted to this I think the K-Mart of MMO's already exists!

pang 4,173 Posted February 23, 2017 The campfire in the center is silly. There are 2 chimneys in the front, so why not put fireplaces in them? And the big hood in the center is unsupported. Even if those stones are mortared together, they would tear free of the wood eventually and collapse upon the occupants. It looks like any race but centaurs could crawl through it. That wooden parapet could have a wooden walkway behind it, instead of the occasional window. The Chimney is in the center hence the fire is in the center. Can see this in the third and fourth pics. Those stone columns in the front don't look like chimneys at all just structural accents. 1 JamesGoblin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chancellor 1,805 Posted February 23, 2017 Pang, you're just supporting my point. The lodge is pretty, but structurally unsound. Now get in there and support that collapsing structure! 3 baerin, sneaky_squirrel and JamesGoblin reacted to this I think the K-Mart of MMO's already exists! And it ain't us!

ren 1,355 Posted February 23, 2017 Pang, you're just supporting my point. The lodge is pretty, but structurally unsound. Now get in there and support that collapsing structure! Mortar is strong in compression but not in tension. The steel brace system shown in the concept art would have to extend down to the bottom of the chimney and provide a lintel (shelf) upon which the stone would be laid. 3 BurgundytheRed, piikaa and JamesGoblin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ren 1,355 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Also, the draft for the fire pit would be problematic resulting in a smoky interior of the lodge. In our world with realistic gravity and airflow, a metal hood with flared opening over the fire pit would be the way to go. Here is a nice architectural precedent.

pang 4,173 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) ^ Its concept art, first iterations of structures in a video game.... Not architect drafts for a real building. Edited February 23, 2017 by pang 1 JamesGoblin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nazdar 1,180 Posted February 23, 2017 How will you customize your fort? I have no idea how to answer that question. I was really hoping there would be an infodrop that would help me answer it.

Weebles 386 Posted February 23, 2017 Since I see no work benches in the photos does that confirm you are not able to place them, and possibly thralls, in this stronghold building? 1 JamesGoblin reacted to this Official Moderator of the Unofficial Crowfall Discord!

coolster50 2,224 Posted February 23, 2017 Since I see no work benches in the photos does that confirm you are not able to place them, and possibly thralls, in this stronghold building? You should be able to. Its probably empty just to show the space of it. Once they put the textured pictures in the store, we'll probably see some props in the Fort. 1 JamesGoblin reacted to this You Can't Be A Genius, If You Aren't The Slightest Bit Insane.
