this needs to be here:
Riften Legion Fort: The Legion Fort houses the Bear Legion controls the nearby pass into Cyrodiil, taxes travelers passing through, and maintains order in the Riften area. Built in castle style, with some farmhouses/Corhal structures thrown in for outbuildings. There should be a barracks, messhall, officer's quarters, trader, census and excise office, a few guard towers, gate house, a small cathedral to the Nine, and a few other things if you can justify them.

I don't see the download link, but I assume you used the Castle Tileset and not the Fort Ruin Tileset, as the Legion Fort is located near Cyrodiil, and a large ammount of taxes are gathered at the border, so the Legion should be able to afford to keep the fort in good condition.

Sorry, the link didn't originally show up for me. The fort should be using the Castle Tileset, the one that all the castles in towns use, not the dungeon one, not even the unbroken variant. I said in my initial description that it would use the Castle Tileset, I apologize if I wasn't clear enough.

I'm away from home at the moment, and don't have a Oblivion, hold off on your claim and put some screens up, that way I can think things over. In the future though I hope you will follow directions with claims, because as a core member you should be an example for other team members, and doing whatever you want with your claim is not how people on the team should behave.I will however think over your request, as I think using the Fort Set for a town could be very cool. Also if I do let you use the Fort Set please use the Fort Interior Set that matches.

You need some kind of an exterior image capture program I think, I don't know how myself, I suggest just setting up a warp door and taking ingame screens.

Just resize your render window to full screen and press Print Screen. Then go into an image editing program (like Paint) and press ctrl-V. It will paste in the image of the render window you captured. Then save and upload :)

Ok, I took a look at your Fort in the CS, and it looked good. However I am going to ask you to use the Castle Models and Tileset as I instructed you in the first place. Hold on to the first fort that you created though, you can use it for some remote wilderness outpost, it will fit in a lot better there. You can try getting the interior of the Great Hall into the new Fort using the Castle Models that's fine. End of Argument

I seperated the latter part of this thread about creating a new tileset, as it deserves its own thread. Of course if there is a new tileset it needs to be decided if it will be used for this fort or not.

Edit: the updated screens are looking good, maybe Corwyn could make a custom mesh so that you don't have to have those three towers in a row, it would cut down the polly count and make things look better in general Yes

for this fort I think we can get away with using this tileset, as it is closer to the empire and anyway I like how this fort has turned out.

Sure it makes sense. To answer any questions about why it doesn't match the others we can just say it was once built in the old style, but go destroyed in X conflict, and since it was near the border the Imperials rebuilt it in their own style. BTW how about for a name we call if "Fort Riftmoth"?

well.... the Imperials have this cult called the cult of the ancestor moth....
anyhow the Imperial revere moths or certain types of moths...

and so Moth is not just a Morrowind thing... Moth is an Imperial thing and they name forts with that name for some reason... for example Buckmoth, Moonmoth, Firemoth....
and then there is Sphinxmoth o the border between Elsweyr and Valenwood

I looked at it and it looks good, I liked what you did with the cemetery Good job!
I suggest giving a bit more variety to the tower-type-structures inside the fort that make up the barracks ect, because otherwise all your interiors are going to look almost identical. Maybe place the ones facing the gate lower to the ground, or swap one of the ones on the side wall out for a different building. That and maybe add some kind of structure sticking out of the side like in your initial concept, the Fort could use a stable. The interior that you showed looked like it would be better off if it had fewer stories, maybe just three, because a million stories of soldiers are nothing more than something to avoid for players(particularly with a high bounty) and put a large mess hall or training room or something at the base of the thing. If you leave the towers in a big block you should get a custom model that merges the towers into one, to save polygons and allow them to connect, thus allowing you to have a large hall-type interior instead of a bunch of little towers. Here is a map with the changes that I would make if I had the claim http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c23/qi...mgAnch=imgAnch1 This is all just a bunch of ideas, but you should probably make some of the changes to add more variety to the Fort.

*It used to be less storys I will change it back.

Ok cool, can I see a screen of the stable? BTW I'd still like to have a custom model that combines the towers, to save polygons, and it will look better to the player comming into the fort.

The fort isn't that high in polys, also if u want to see the stable it is in the latest .esp that I uploaded.

Edit 2006.08.07 02:54:
The exterior will be in the heightmap in about two days, then I will add ints and Npcs/pathgrid.

Edit 2006.08.08 01:09:
Greenwood take priority over this, as the exterior location needs a lot more work done to it. I will however get the exterior done for this in 1 1/2 weeks tops.

Edit 2006.08.15 07:41:
It's now in the Skyrim Height map. I'm starting to detail the surronding area now. After that I will add Ints, then comes Npcs, after that it should be ready for Dialouge and scripts/quests. I will upload the .esp when I've fleshed it out a bit more.

AFAIK we are waiting for Zarf's imperial fort tileset, if It ever gets finished. It'll most likely go in area 7.

Vvardenfell is already working with Zarf's set (checkout the Ebonheart thread), just pm Razorwing or TID or someone to get hold of it.

Razorwing said that Zarf's set isn't really completed, the stuff used for Ebonheart is only what he's done so far. There are no interiors and Razorwing said that Zarf was not planning on finishing the set.

I can get the stuff that IS done and see if we can use it.
