Quite... interesting. Y'know, given my past experiences making Altars, you'd think I'd have something important to say about this one.

I guess my only issue (aside from TC?) is that the head should really be modified a bit to appear less like a Crypt Fiend; one thing all the Altar's do really well is having sort of a faceless, featureless representation of each race (stoic Human statue, barbaric Orc statue, wise Night Elf statue, vile Undead statue, cunning Naga statue, vicious Troll God statue, etc). This not only has features (eyes mainly) but the texture appears to be the same... Is there some kind of stone something that could be used?

I like the shape, however (interesting & unique, having it bubble up like that). The towers might get lost in all the other buildings having towers, but it looks nice.

That's really interesting; I've seen that screenshot, but never noticed that building.

Well, the thought still stands; in that picture the spider-head is all stony (as if carved). The eyes are red, but bleh. There's probably a reason it didn't make it into the end-game.

//EDIT - I just realized that it wasn't necessarily an Altar in that screenshot; just a building. Actually, if the Undead had a few more Nerubian units, having a sort of "Nerubian tech-unlocker" building would've been kinda neat.

//REALEDIT - Wait, why didn't anyone do that for the Hive Olympics!? That's a great idea.
