There are a lot of new buildings in warlords. So of them might fit into the Warhammer world.

Zulu ikhanda - Orc baracks
Mongol ger - Ungol barracks or stable
Monument - I think these statues could be a reward for military or other successes. not sure how to implant it.
military academy - advanced barracks for the Empire?
Carthage cothon
Viking trading post
Hamman
Apothecary
Madrassa
Mali Mint - something for the Orcs
Sankore - same as above
Sacrifical altar - something for amazons or the lizard men
Incan terrace - same as above
Legendary Saga (a sword in a stone)
Kings Saga (a viking on a ramp)
Sewon
Pavillion

Any ideas for them?

The Carthage Cothon would make a unique harbour for the highelves.
viking related stuff for the norsca
apothecary could be for khemri
sewon could be for cathay, nippon

I admit I have to take another look at it to give my 2 cents here as well. But this will take a few days still because my girlfriend will kill me if she catches me here staring at warlordsart while all my stuff is still packed in the boxes but just my comp is already runnig:D
I'll try to be fully back here in forum after saturday. For now just a general rule of thumb anything that replaces generic art in warlords for a civ that closely resembles one of ours like japan->nippon could be used in a similar way.

The buildings I found so far that could be useful. Note this is meant to replace the old buildings folder it's no addition and everything would be needed to be linked to xml anew but I think it's worth the effort to have a similar organized folder for buildings like for the units because my guess is it will soon grow in a similar way.
Another note: not everything is final here: i.e. the Great Bazaar needs a new art and many civfolders have buildings we haven't got any design for, also the "dontknowyet" folder as its name should explain includes models I just like but well don't know yet what for.
Can you do the citiesfolder in a similar way as well-with seperate folders for the different civs?

Sure, we can have separate folders for buildings.;)

Oops:

I forgot to tell you that I have renamed the "CIVS" folder into "civbuildings" to avoid confusion. I have also added some other nifs. I'll post them here soon.

OK Ploep, here it is:

I have tried to follow the folder structure of your file, but I have made some changes:

- i have renamed CIV
- "civbuildings" and "wonders" are directly in the "structures" folder, now.:crazyeye:

after you changed that you can put this over your structures folder:

download! (http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/87027/structures.7z)

I'll have to put anything that was in buildings/civs into structures/civbuildings now? Or did I misunderstand this?:confused:

What about the cityart. Shall I put them directly into the cityfolder or better create subdirectories(using the names of the folders you sent them with?

Yes, that's true. I put the "wonders" and "civs" folders directly in "structures". Later, I renamed "civs" to "civbuildings" to make it more easy... :crazyeye:

here is a pic of my "structures" folder:

The city art goes directly in the citiesfolder. There are no art path in any xml file, so subfolders could cause problems with it.

My 7z file includes several towers, a few other buildings and a reskin for the PragueCastle. The most of that stuff is aslo available at the file db, but I wanted to send it with the right folder structure.
