There are great pieces that exist for making curved walls! I don't know the numbers off the top of my head, but they're there. There are also some nice, simple tree designs that could be lifted straight from existing sets. Nonetheless, keep up the good work! :)
Yes I admit these walls were not the highest standard, and it came down to keeping the shape or the pattern on the wall. After experimenting with the two styles I decided that the triangle pattern was a must keep at the cost of the exact shape. Bland orange walls are just a big no here.

Great Zimbabwe was an unusual wonder to replicate compared to others since its main feature is the surrounding wall instead of a center building. I can see how my replication failed to capture the outline of the original and left many gaps, simplifying most edges to straight lines. Given another attempt I could experiment with hinge bricks to create more diverse angles, but that could disrupt the pattern on the walls.

About the trees it was a genuine oversight. This build was made in a bit of a rush to update this thread at a semi-regular schedule, so my main concern at that point was a build that gave the impression of the in-game Great Zimbabwe. While that was achieved, this build simply didn't have the level of detail compared to most others in this thread.

Really appreciated the constructive criticism! This could be my motivation for a redo build at some point.
 
I have never used the webiste which you use for the pics... is it possible to get a list of all the used stones and order them via the website?
The builds are fully digital, so getting a list of pieces used would be easy. I think the software includes a link to buy the pieces but you'll have to experiment yourself. Unfortunately there are no instructions to go with the builds but I can send the files for reference. You do need the Studio software to open them (download at https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/download.page). If you're interested in replicating any of them I can provide the files!
(And if you do please send the photos here:D)
