Customized Houses

[ImAwesome]

(I searched and found another thread about customizing houses but was very different from my idea sorry if this should have been posted there still)

right now all we have are 3 housing sizes, and 2 housing/roofing types. my idea isn't really about adding any more to housing types, but instead allowing us to choose the size we want. would use a system similar to the layout you get with ctrl-L to lay out a floor plan, with a minimum and maximum allowed size. once size is chosen building and roofing materials would be chosen(stone/brick/wood for basic house and boughs/straw for thatching the roof or boards as shingles) and depending on materials and size the number of floors. once those are chosen you get a material list based on chosen size, then you simply load up construction site with materials and build as normal.

so strong people can build 300 x 300 sized houses and live in there forever.

I like this idea. Just imagine a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge house. It'll be like a castle! A good improvement for clans. Btw, it's much convinient than a lot of small (i mean biggest right now) houses.
Another good side of this is next: A house is an separate area like a cave, it has its own map. And it won't be so laggy, I think, as fields of your vegetables&fruits

Seems like a nice idea but there indeed should be a maximum. Or just have this idea: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7980

I've seen the link, and I think.. it's kinda too early for kingdoms. Cuz world map is not big for that. But adding an another (at least one) floor, except cellar, would be very useful and helpful.

No. Won't work in H&H as it is right now.

you could have atleast read my post before making such a senseless reply...houses(like most things in game) can be destroyed.

seems the rest of you got what I meant...the mansion right now is the biggest house, and getting the straw to build 1 takes forever. We've just recently built a 2nd because we need storage space(I think I'm in a hoarder village) and I was thinking a 15X15 place would have fit much better(seems to me that a multiple of 3 gives you best layout for cupboards) and if I could have used another type of roofing it would have been so much simpler.

@SacreDoom there have been several posts about a possible overhaul to the game engine, if we wait til new engine is built and it doesn't support it theres even less chance of getting it, so speaking up now in hopes of it being possible.

Don't you think the devs would think about such things before upgrading the engine if they actually wanted that system in-game?

This actually has been suggested before. Loftar said it isn't possible right now though, but would be something the devs liked to have sooner or latter.
