The preview thread

Maybe you will recognize them more with the red texture:

That looks good.
When I responded to you I didn't see the blue textured preview, there was just a question mark.

I don't know about the blue/purple beams. But I think most of the architecture looks ancient Chinese. Except the steep roof on the front left building, it looks more SE Asian. I really like the main building with the fixtures on the ends of the roofs.

What about a red base and yellow base with grey roofs.

And with an edited left centerpiece:

I like the design, but theres something about the color..
Darken the roof titles (dark grey/greenish), bring out more deeper red and yellow on the base and beams.

Nice work, thanks.

For ancient Chinese city set, Han dynasty architectures can be referred as templates. Just as shown in your last preview: gray roofs, red beams and pillars, white walls; but I don't agree with such sharp housetop. Some examples from internet:

Hm

#1463 color? The black one was very cool with the Austrian set.

 

[Kyriakos]

This is not the austrian set's color, but a new texture

Besides, at some point some sets will have the same texture somewhere.

Another version, with some corrections:

Almost there! I'd make the roofs just a little brighter, done!

 

[Jerry'sGoldfish]

i would choose post 1463, the roofing is very smooth..........

I think the color is cool, but a little brighter could make the details clearer in game.

Still I think the sharp corners on the roofs are a little hyperbolic. More pics from the following link:

Might change it, here is the metro:

 

[Kyriakos]

Finished now.

Any ideas for the wall?

 

[Jerry'sGoldfish]

yes, lots of them....

 

[crazyanswer]

Finished now.

Well done,

Any ideas for the wall?

 

[Jerry'sGoldfish]

are those not in china??? i think japan is quite different from china in castle warfare...

 

[ShiroKobbure]

all of those walls are in China, they don't look like Japanese walls. I think crazyanswer posted great examples. I think the key parts as the large base for the wall gate with the building on top. And the occasional tower.


Kyriakos the set came out really good, now ancient Japan has someone to play with.

 

[crazyanswer]

Shiro is right, China and Japan have different construction styles.
In my examples, the large building is the gate, with some small towers distributed on the walls.

Talking about Japanese walls, here is some pics for famous Osaka castle:
