Hewn stone, stone wall

Postby Qeeet » Sat Dec 10, 2016 9:14 pm

Its kinda weird we don't have stone wall here.
What I would like to see is:
1) hewn stone (or dressed stone, or ashlar). Can be made of regular stone times n (where n is amount of stone needed to create one hewn stone). Requires axe.

2) stone wall. I'd suggest it to be the same as brick wall. In order to make it similarly hard to make as brick wall, hewn stone can require quite a lot of stamina to make, and the stone wall requires a lot of hewn stone, let say 500 or even 1000 for first cornerpost.
3) replace/or add hewn stone to existing buildings

PS: want to remind about low tier rings: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=49989

I've thought of this before too. I had imagined stone walls as middle ground between palisade and brick walls. Never posted about it though.

brick wall in real life was very rare.
I wouldn't like to see stone wall weaker than brick wall, since stones, especially when cut/dressed/hewned (really, whats the difference?) and put together, are more hard than bricks.

But hell yea, of cause its all depend on type of stone used :D

I was hoping stone walls would be able to walk on, and heightened like terraforming. Would be cool for archer defense.

I doubt it will be any time soon. With current game mechanics its not that easy. You see, the world is technically 2d, there is no height. That height that you see, its just cosmetic height.

No, there is height. As you can see when you try to place anything on a slope.

Or when you terraform. But what I think you mean is that there aren't any other real bonuses or penalties related to height. That is true. Jorbtar would need to code in height advantages for shooters, difficulties climbing elevations etc.

But for the purposes of Bowshot's suggestion, I think we might foresee something like this in the next year or so. Something more like, however, LiF walls rather than terraformed walls - earthworks.

I also agree brickwalls should be exceeding rare, weaker than stone walls, and perhaps less costly as a result. I've never liked brickwalls. Not since Classic Haven.

You are much loved! Love in return!

as I said height is just for cosmetic purposes, if you would see yourself from up to downwards in isometric, it would look like the world is 2d.
That is the main reason why we still don't have bridges.

stone could be used for "castle wall", more like a building structure you could walk inside and above it

cornerpost = cheaper stone tower
segment = small room with shooting window
gate = massive bridge gate that fits 2 vehicle and needs some work to open and close

this could bring the building aspect to another level and gives archers a nice job
