Heres a mongol fort:

It's very nice, though a bit plastic-looking. Maybe make it a bit more sloped? I'm not sure. It definitely isn't bad though. Just not perfect.

This is what I found when googling "Mongol fort". Maybe have a Mughal fort instead? Googling it will give you many results. The Mughals were descendants of Mongols, anyway (IIRC).

Yes, i found the same sole pic myself. But i read in that thread that it is essentially just an arabian fort, built by arabs for the mongol overlords.

With that logic i might as well just make a chinese fort, which at least would look more oriental...

Here is the yurt again, this time with a stone texture. Obviously yurts were not made out of stone, but some had a darker colour, which this might symbolise, if not signify.

Anyway at least it doesnt look like a ghostly apparition anymore

And as for it looking good, remember what they are supposed to look like:

 

[Kyriakos]

Ok, final try, if this looks like crap (like a yurt) then i will just make something else as size 1...

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I like it. It looks the most like felt of all the yurts you've made.

 

[BadKharma]

That new yurt is fantastic!

 

[Kyriakos]

Thank you BadKharma

Unfortunately the "mongol" fort looks like utter crap, and not very mongol either, but i gather that they didnt make any forts by theirselves and so do not have any characteristic architecture.

Anyway i did model the one in the pic, but i do not like it. I will try to make some chinese fort instead.

I thought of the red fort, but since there is a (very very small) possibility that i will make a mughal set, i'd rather reserve it for that one.
Still, if i find nothing else, then i will have to choose it.

I really like the Yurt and the temple. Hope you can find some better fort to model. I had a search but couldn't find anything much except Chinese or Middle-eastern looking forts.

Cheers,

Nick

Here is a fort at Jiayu Pass at the Western end of the Great Wall, on the Silk Road. You could use that. Here's its wiki page.

It's pretty simple and pretty looking, it would fit the style, and it would have some significance to the Mongols, due to its location. So I guess this is the closest you're going to get.

Kyriakos... The Yurt Looks absolutely Fine. Yours is much better than the Image

 

[Kyriakos]

I guess this will have to do as a Stupa.
I dislike this entirely east asian architecture because it seems like random shapes...

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I like it quite a lot. You should just make it look a bit more "East Asian".

 

[Kyriakos]

Right

This will be it:

 

[Cimbri]

Looks lovely, dude.

 

[BadKharma]

That is looking really good, and the preview including all the sets is breathtaking.

 

[Kyriakos]

Good news, i wrote the first 7 pages of a new story with nice potential, and am thinking of working later tonight (and tomorrow while there still is sunlight, since i only write after it is dark outside) on a new colony graphic.

I decided to make it as a medieval pavilion, like this one:

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I like the Mongol set a lot.

It would look reeeeally awesome with Jiayu Pass for the walled city

But even without, it looks really cool.

 

[nick0515]

The mongol set looks great! I really like the size three building.

Thank you
