Art and building variety

Postby venatorvenator » Mon Nov 30, 2015 8:05 pm

I think it would be nice if we were given different options while building certain things, such as statues.

I mentioned before how neat monuments like dolmens and decorative structures would be, but statue variety seems much simpler to implement. Instead of the stock statue we get, if I could choose to build statues of animals, people, or anything else, my village would be much more interesting. There's also a lot that could be done with simple geometric forms, such as statues of spheres, triangles, and squares. Players are so creative already with basic landscaping, please give us more tools to create our own lore.

Tldr: when building statues, let us choose between:
- Animals in different poses; dragons included.
- Basic human forms: statue with sword and shield, bow, lawspeaker hat and robes, druid cape and völvas hand.
- Geometric forms: sphrere, square, triangle.
- Items: pickaxe, sword, wheelbarrow, large chest, etc.

Besides, features that allow us to give personality to our villages are good way to increase immersion.

Or we can have mannequins and put clothes on them?

This would be really cool. Maybe if you have a sketchbook page you should be able to "sketch" an image of an in-game object you can see (i.e. a person wearing certain equipment, animal, etc) on it and then apply that while building a statue?
