On the subject of fences, and therefore walls, ive decided at long last to make a tall city wall.




This thing is huge, the screenshot doesnt do it justice. Its mapped to be 3 wide by 1, meaning the wooden area is about 1.5 in game tiles wide, and the stone makes up the remaining tile and a half (.75 each side).




This is designed like this on purpose, to enable people to actively walk along the wall. There will be a series of steps leading up, gates, tunnels, water crossings (big river bridgings, small river drains) and other goodies for this one.




I designed it as a true wall, filled with dirt. Visually it has been designed to extend below ground a long way, this will make it perfect for going over water or anywhere with lower elevation.

This set, as always, will come with dynamic ambient occlusion mapping, allowing contrasts in lighting over the different weather patterns and seasons.
