Building Color/Design Guide

Would be much better with blackthorn instead of larch and dark column bottom, like basalt or black ore instead

Perhaps, can't say it would be "much better", though. It's all a matter of opinion, after all blackthorn wouldn't look good in doors IMO, though. It's better for the roof tiles. Also the colors wouldn't match that good. It's already dark overall, so Schist gives a contrast, which basalt or black ore wouldn't give. It's also the main stone used for construction on the other houses so it matches that. It turned out exactly as I wanted it, actually

dark column bottom, like basalt or black ore instead

Wouldn't that make the central doors all-black?

I don't think so, just the bottom of the columns, but might change the doors too

Yes, it would. There's that too. I wanted the cat-gold door

So it's impossible to have different coloured doors and column bottoms? ...

Damn, i was wrong ...

Damn, i was wrong ...

Yep, I'm afraid But I think that's a mighty suggestion I'd certainly back up should you post it in C&I. Split stone types in 3, 1st for base, secondary for door, tertiary for column bases.
Also, making the door secondary and column bases tertiary wouldn't mess up already built great halls, so the change could be made easily.

Perfect match for the buildings in the retreat, good job ... hope mine turns out ok, after the tower fiasco I'm slightly worried ...

It took weeks to get 20 hardened leather, I ain't making this thing again!

I know the feeling ... all the mats are in bar the hleather, I have six ...

Thank you very much <3
Yeah, it's looking really nice as a whole, all the buildings facing the square... :3
You'll like it when you come again <3

And don't worry, I'm sure the Great Hall will be great

Two towers built; Much better than the last one.

-

Marble - Limestone - Popular - a mixture for the frames.
Basalt - Bay willow

The dark towers need a dark mortar between the stones. Just looks bad, I think, though I love the idea.
