xd I would place him 3-4 pixels lower though. there is a fence piece that is red beneath the unicorn, that shouldnt even be visible.

Nice!

Finally Elves have their own home on Enroth



There are only Black Knight and Black Dragon dwellings left.

I can provide a draft for the Black Knight dwelling - not sure if it's going to satisfy the townscreen version (the former Captain's Quarters), but still it can work as a temporary solution.

I would be very thankful I am very poor at making images from zero.

I've made a few cosmetic changes to the Agar's draft of a Dragon Tower. It will stay for v0.8.

Sorry guys for not posting any new stuff but I've got plenty of things to do. I will try making something soon(tm)

Any help is appreciated You are welcome, guys.

Well, for the sake of interest.

Fantastic job. I would only ask to make the Red Tower higher for 1 or even two "levels" so it will really look like a tower. Level 7 dwellings are supposed to be high enough for the most of the factions.

Love the Homestead especially. Also, would love to see the Armory near other adventure map objects.

The Warrior's Tomb is also definitely better than the previous variant based on a MM5 sprite.

Looks good! I like the art style, it is very close to the original H2 dwellings

I do not know, I doubt that the tower should be done high on the global map. And Docent also found it doubtful. Well, think about it.

Not that high as you might have thought. Alright, this one can work for the beta - but it will need some more fixes. This perspective might be too simplified for H2, too.

Maybe too late 

Normal isometric view, what's wrong? Some objects do not have even this)

The trouble is that it is purely isometric while H2 uses more complex perspectives for objects (I can remember only Fort and Temple having pure isometry). But some objects may be left with this one I suppose.

I do not know, I would say it is adding to the treasury of the prospects) And building a quite complex design, in my opinion. It seems, in other variants will come out crooked. Well, or no perspective, side view.
Well, it will have to consider later.

Well, no major objections. Will only need to make some adjustments for the color transitions/shadows there to fit to H2 style more.

Looks very good!

Some other experiments)

The building on the southeast corner looks interesting. Any ideas it could be?

I'd say a portal

Beautiful! I've got no objections to buildings on a first image, they're simply complete and perfect. Bone dragon dwelling is also fantastic, but I don't know if it's perspective will fit the rest. The mark on the altar needs a bit darkening, but I am also not sure if satanistic sign is proper for H2 fairy-tale climate . This brown mould would serve as similar to WoGish "cave of adventure" or a creature bank. The last pearl brings some other ideas to my mind: Town portal known from HoTA, "Sanctuary of darkness?" (decreasing enemies luck and morale for the next battle? or playing role of the cover of darkness with a new name and appropriate description?), "Evil palace?" (exchange creatures for artifacts?), maybe some special creature bank?

I still insist on leaving the first variation intact (the one you made from HotA unused creative). It's too good in comparison.
Yet, I suspect Docent secretly wants Agar to remake it hehe. Anyways, for me it's 1000% much sense in trying to adjust the first iteration of the Laboratory, than trying to remake it from scratch. It has a perfect color scheme and perspective.

This perspective can also be found. Or lack of it.

It can be to "round" base of the object like elemental elemental dwelling

Well, we've got the whole city of heretics, if everything goes perfectly) And anyway, just thought that the thin silhouette of a man looks weird.

While he does not want to. While not come up with what this building is necessary)

I do not know what will come. Now a few crooked.

some thoughts. Well, the tower is not very successful.
