how to build the wall

[MGUY]

hey guys its me again and i have a question,in the game will u build ur own wall like stronghold crusader or when u upgrade ur castle the wall will be upgraded and built for u ??

I'm afraid that it appears that they're preset, but you can buy upgrades to alter the ramparts - eg. towers, barbicans, postern gates. I'm not sure that you can change the layout of the walls though.
If you look at this thread we campaigned for a Castle Design system -> Castle Design Suggestion
There are other threads containing the idea too, if you search I'm sure you'll find it somewhere.

Yeh its all aklready done for you i think you get to choose a plan though out of a certian ammount of blueprints, but they did this so that your units can scale the walls and what not.

Actually, last I heard, it depends on the race. Elves are completely set (including buildings), Humans only for walls and orcs are all you.

That's a really nice system. For elves its logical because their building are in/around the trees that they can't build everywhere. Humans will probably have good organised looking cities, while orcs cities might become chaotic because they can build all over the place.

nice well in that case i will defenetly choose orcs (i was going to choose them anyway) :P

I was under the impression that walls are predefined, to an extent, regardless of race. You are talking about buildplots (btw Elves still have some freedom of construction).

I always thought that, while yes the walls for humans and elves are preset, you will be able to choose between several different preset locations where you want your walls to be built. Humans will have different building able to be build in preset locations throughout their base. Elves will be somewhat similar, but to a lesser extent, as their great trees take some roles as various buildings. Orcs build anywhere.

As was mentioned above - walls are predefined - for all 3 races, even including Orcs. We had to go this way - to make sure player`s town actually looks like a town.

However, there will be numerous options available to player:
-Various options for the overall shape of the town walls for each layer (all layers combined there will be 32+ unique town wall shapes)
-Where the towers goes - and what kind of towers
-What kind of gatehouse to build
-What kind of wall mounted props to build - wall hoarding, boiling oil e.t.c

So for these who enjoy building up massive and unique defenses - don`t worry - predefined, in this case won`t mean limited.
