Mangulworts mods: Settlement Profiles

[Truewhit]

An update a year in the making! Just kidding. I finally decided i should make it compatible. An update for The Altmer might come soon.. next year!

Annoyed that Argonians and wood elves live in simple castles? Fear not! With this mod the profile for each county will be unique!

The Redguards already use the Muslim settlement graphics?

 

[Truewhit]

Sorry. that was when the red guards did NOT have Muslim graphics. will remove. :blush:

 

[TheBoozehammer]

These look nice. Would be cool to have them implemented. The post should at least be stickied.

 

[Gurluas]

Looks great! Awesome :3 I hope you can make one for Altmer too.

The thing is, I do not know what kind of buildings they whould have. I whould hate to have typical fantasy elf buildings yet I have no clue what else to choose.

This is an Altmer settlement on Auridon:

Do you know what you've just started?

This.

And on top of the obvious, Lore one's cooler.

There are plenty of images if you search "fantasy town" or "fantasy castle" on Google. Or you perhaps can use an artwork, even form ESO, because they look less plain than the game.

How about something Ayleid-inspired? It's admittedly not that far off from the Tolkien-approach, but it'd be somewhat of an improvement, right?

 

[Gurluas]

But Ayleid stuff is for Ayleids.

The only Altmer using Ayleid stuff was Camoran in his paradise.
And besides...Ayleid stuff is also fantasy.

Why not just use the ESO buildings?
They're not generic fantasy even if not built out of glass.

Yeah, the ESO stuff is fine, even if it is not as interesting as it was meant to be.

It was just a suggestion, seeing as it sounds like Truewhit didn't like the idea of using ESO designs. The Ayleid were originally a splintergroup off of the Aldmer of Summerset, so it wouldn't be farfetched for their architecture to have similarities with the Altmer's. Then again the chimer/dunmer were also a splinter group, and as far as I can tell there are basically no commonalities between Ayleid and Chimer architecture, so what do I know. Well... I guess they both have roofs...

I do think the ESO designs are kind of generic, by the way. They just kind of scream "Tolkien-elves" to me.

Wouldn't Ayleid architecture be like the ruins in Oblivion?

 

[DarkReborn]

More like the White-Gold tower, which used to be an Ayleid temple and thus a good example of their architecture. IIRC, the Ayleid ruins were (or looked) mostly like catacombs or elaborate tombs, what with coffins everywhere and such.

At least one was an underground city, IIRC, although I forget which one. I think it was where you find the Great Welkynd Stone maybe? Miscarcand?

You're probably thinking of the underground ayleid city from that frostcrag spire improvement mod.
