OK, here's the first of faction packs. I will take my time to explain how these packs are structured. The building rosters of all six factions are almost the same; most buildings exist as basic and upgraded version (with the exception of barracks, that has a single form, city center that has four and resource buildings that usually have three), which in game use the same texture.
Therefore, I found it convenient to store the buildings that use the same texture in one folder. Of course, any single mesh of those can be used separately (just don't forget to copy the textures) - but storing them together saves me from including duplicate textures in the pack. If you only need to use one building out of a folder, it is absolutely safe to delete other nifs from there.
Also the factions can have a special building in addition to the basic roster. For example, humans have banks that other factions can't build.
Human architecture is no-nonsense solid white stone masonry, with little fancy stuff like shiny particle effects and animations.
Human pack shows the typical roster; let's go over it in detail.
1) Commercial structures. Market + Bazaar; humans additionally have banks that other factions don't. Human commercial structures don't have any animations or effects.
2) Barracks. Unlike most other buildings, don't have upgrades. Human barracks feature the smoke coming from the chimney.
3) Smithies. Blacksmith + Foundry. Human smithies have fire and smoke coming out of them; foundry also has animated bellows.
4) City centres. Four progressive upgrades along the line of village -> town -> city -> citadel. Flags on the flagpoles furl in the wind. Hanging flags are detachable.
5) Research buildings. Library + Mage College. Human research buildings aren't animated and don't have any effects.
6) Religious buildings. Shrine + Temple. Human religious buildings have fires on top of the pillars.
7) Stone resource buildings. Quarry + upgraded quarry + some special building, in case of humans "export". Human stone resource buildings aren't animated and don't have any effects.
8) Wood resource buildings. Woodmill + sawmill + some special building, in case of humans "export". Human sawmills have smoke coming out of their chimneys.
That concludes our tour. Stay tuned!
