[Archive] Style of buildings

zagor66:

I am planning to make a chaos dwarfs fortress(yes ill show pics) but i wondered what style of building the have like babylonion or something for my walls and gates , and im planning to have a sort of greek temple on the top dedicated to hashut.:hat off

Doogle:

It would probably be similar to the mountain fortresses of their eastern cousins, since though they are evil, they are still dwarfs.

If not mountain fortresses, then probably ziggurats.

zagor66:

Im going to have a ziggurat with walls all around the steps and then the temple on top with a cauldron in it , if i was to do a mountain fortress id have thers in a volcano which im also doing…

torn:

i think black rock would be suiting, with a lot of tapered square towers, pillars, plinths and slightly slanting rock walls. And the doors would probably be cast bronze.

Kera foehunter:

stone wall of obsidian with a great arch doors .

Hashut’s Blessing:

My perosnal view is a ziggurat, built into a volcano if need be :smiley: , with European-style gothic walls surrounding it. Heavy stone or metal gates as well. Just my perosnal taste.

Deebo:

Hmm sort of a dark Aztec feel to the buildings,

Do the Chaos dwarfs sacrifice hobs to the bull god?

al-hashut:

IMO, like this



For the temple, maybe something like this…



and don’t 4get a liberal smattering of bull topped collumns…

Sojourn:

what al-hashut said. lol

or babylonian, like you said:



which looks like a volcano. and could work, if you don’t mind the people living on the side of it dying a horrible flaming death everytime the volcano erupts. lol

wallacer:

Chaos Dwarfs should have a technological element to their buildings as well. By all means utilise Babylonian or Classical buildings for the base architecture, but definitley they need to be made a little bit more steam-punky. The odd smoke stack, conveyor belt, piece of machinery, that sort of thing.
