Samm, I dunno if you built anything in Palanthas, but I'm curious as to how the Tower of Palanthas model that is visable in the North East was built. I'm assuming that it must have been a stacking job to make it look that way and curiosity has gotten the best of me

hi,

sorry it took so long to answer.

i did build palanthas, assuming it is the same palanthas now, the tower your talking about is the cursed tower of high sorcery,

i started with a regular elevation, two square chunks, then stacked two lighthouses on top of that, it is not at all accurate to renderings of the tower as described in the books but is as close as i could get, the main goal was to get the feel right for the area, hence the fog and different lighting, also the trees to form the shoikan grove.

samm

It does not matter if it is accurate to the books dead on......................





IT LOOKS WICKEDLY AWESOME.

And as far as I know, with the exception of the spawns that come at you, the tower has not changed one bit.

cool man, what spawns there?

we always wanted to put something in there, it is supposed to be the shoikan grove, but never did it or found the right way, thats probably the first thing im checking out when i get the haks dl'd

All sorts of nasties, lol.

some doom knights, and doom knight commanders, demi liches, spectres. All sorts of things, that even a 40th level party of three would have a hard time dealing with.

We did it, because there were a few players that wanted to lay claim to the tower as their own, and rather than have a war in Palanthus, a few tower mages released the evil from the grove itself into the entire NE section, but contained there, lol.

I am currently working on, among other things, setting things up to open the tower. I am looking into building the inside of the cursed tower, and then having an adventure to clear it, and occupy it. Either a single mage, or as a haven for the tower magi. Something is in the works, but the process is slow, because of other things. Thats where it stands right now though.

well that is completely awesome....

if you need some one to build that tower interior don't count me out, may be a bit rusty and new to the mod again but id love to sink my teeth into that,

Any build Ideas, or suggestions, get directed to Black Rider/DM An-Narcach. He is the admin tech guy, and I trust his judegment and work, lol. As for wanting to help, let me know via pm, and I will get you a copy of the current mod and let you go at it. Rider I am certain would like the help to get some of the load off him, lol. But talk with him to be certain. He may ideas already in mind he wants to share.
