TownCenters have own Design based on Races

[Savra]

I guess the reskin would happen with the team change on capturing the tc.

[General Brave]

That seems done enough, it is exceptional.

[Savra]

A little overgrowth was all was needed.

Now the undead and scaledfolk ones.

[Savra]

?

I like human one

dwarven one is nice but I don't know if it fits them.

the other seem a bit raw at the moment

Do you think the dwarven one might work for scaledfolks instead?

[General Brave]

Well you're right about that, it definitely has that Aztec feel to it. due to it looking like temples. Perhaps at some greenery and maybe less team color with more stone. But do as you do.

Updated.

awesome

try flattening the top though

Ok.

[Savra]

Updated.

[General Brave]

Those should definitely work.

[Savra]

Now all that's left is the undeads one and we're set.

[Alexander82]

Updated.

Perfect

[Savra]

And here's the cemetery.

[Savra]

Here they all are:

Humans: Town center


Orcs: Goblin town


Elves: Sylvan grove


Undead: Cemetery


Dwarves: Mining town


Scaledfolk: Conclave

[Alexander82]

Can you also make some tries to increas visibility of occupied status? Especially undead one.

They seems a bit difficult to recognize at a first glance

[Savra]

I'll just make the occupied forms animated then.

[Alexander82]

that is a great idea

[Savra]

And done.

[Savra]

Last one.

[Alexander82]

Great! @Stratego (dev) do you think we can implement those?

[Stratego (dev)]

Please summarize how this should work to be sure - thanks! (i mean how to occupy them what happens, how to spawn and so on)

[Alexander82]

I would keep it simple...

When a player conquer a tc it will take the shape of the one of that race.

So if a human get a neutral tc it becomes a human looking one, if later that tc is lost to an elven player it will get the look of an elven tc.

[Stratego (dev)]

ok but quick thoughts
a) how to spawn them automatically ? which "race"'s TCshould be?
b) what if a TC was upgraded (leveled up) already?
c) how neutral TC-s should look?
d) there are many campaign maps already made with current TC-s
e) there can be effects affecting the TC are they staying?
f) size will always be 1x1 tile on ground? as if it can be a 2x2 on any race that could cause problems.
g) are these needs separate stats? some heal better or garrison more than other? or this is only skinning?

a) neutral
b) they aren't leveled up, they are just changing look upon conquest
c) at the moment current tc look is fine or we might just use some other look (like some huts around a fire or a flag)
d) they would just look like the one for the race that use it (if a player is human will just have human tcs, if it is orc it will have a orc tc and so on)
e)what kind of effects?
f)1x1 only
g)just skinning I'd say, at least for now.

[Stratego (dev)]

we need to define if it is skinning or not - as totally diffeerent solution would come.

also "neutral" : will there be a TC look that is "raceless"?

[makazuwr32]

Current tc is "raceless" i think.

[Alexander82]

Well, I'd go for skinning alone unless there are other ideas for them

Since tcs cannot be destroyed I suppose that the only effects we might give are things like stats or abilities for their garrison, slots and maybe production. In that case a conquered tc might keep the existing bonus when captured.

Anyway I still think that a simple reskin is enough

[Savra]

Would you like me to make some huts for neutral tc's?

[Alexander82]

I think they could be nice, thanks!
