Managed to finish a video for the sister clan Red Tree. Keeping with my own lore, I used as many items as I could that required iron to make. The marble from the tribute trade from Blue Tree is almost exclusively used in the church.

Want a tour? :) This one is done with a small map and two levels of floor space only so I was able to get it done rather quickly.


The entrance to Red Tree is heavily fortified. We've had wolf problems and even a couple trolls try to get in, so the cannons were installed just last year.

Every settlement needs a hearty supply of food. The fruit produced by the orchards here are highly prized and considered a luxury by traders.

The tree farmer's hut and property. He's also a very talented leather worker... by using chickens. Don't ask how that works.

The barracks house the best furniture in the area. For this clan, the warriors are of the highest caste. They have to be with how deadly the area is.

Can someone tell me what this is? My best guess is a bucket of rice porridge of some kind.... with a raw egg on top. I'm currently using it as a toilet because I don't have an empty looking bucket for it :p

The real entrance to the settlement. This is what I wanted to build above ground but that is only one layer :(

The tavern is of course right next to the entrance ;)

Housing for the miners of all sizes and decorations. I didn't get to build one of these in the Blue Tree Clan area. I hope this makes up for my oversight. :)

For Red Tree Clan, the prince is more of a figure head rather than a leader. All deals are done through the military. The prince deals mostly with the organization, happiness of the residents and oversees research at the station.

The entrance to Red Tree's mighty church. Sadly the massive statues don't play nice and don't like sharing the space with walls or windows.

All these cool new items for the graveyards like the statues and flower wreaths and my graveyard stands empty. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing that no one died in the creation of this fortress...

Inside the church.

Small maps are quite the challenge but I think I did OK. :) I wish I had dug a few more levels down so the church could have a nice roof and I could play a little more with staggered levels like I did in the last project, but then I wouldn't have any dirt for the floor. Roofs also turned out to bring their own problems.
I didn't get very many trinkets of non-craftable items this map. Not even a single apple baskets for me. Hopefully next time will prove more "fruitful". :)

Hope You like it :)

Wow, I am so ashamed of my own little creations. But this is the motivation I need!

Fantastic work, I really really like the above-ground colony idea. And of course, the church looks amazing.
 
I love it. Ive set a goal for myself to finish the campaign before I begin playing sandbox. I cant wait to start getting creative. I haven't had allot of time to play since launch and its a pretty lengthy game. So far Ive beaten 2 of the mages. I really hope this game secretly has balrogs or something similar. It was mentioned in the live stream they may or may not be in the game.
