This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Description:
I actually have an old pack for Gilneas but I decided to upload this pack separately instead of replacing the old one. The reason for this is because I am planning to repurpose and rename that one as Westfall or Alterac depending on the possible art style that will be applied to it.
Here is a new building set for the Kingdom of Gilneas inspired by WoW structures and using Gilneas Building skin of Cloudwolf.
Note/s:
Updates:
All models passed Sanity Check.

Wow, those buildings are outstanding! All of your building packs are so nice and useful!
My only criticism toward this one would be about the lack of differences between the Town Hall and the Keep, which look too much alike.
Apart from that, top notch incredible work, thanks so much man.

I agree, Love the pack but maybe the town hall should be a single story or something to differentiate it a bit more.

Beautiful work man! I like the attention to details ^^
I find the mage tower somewhat lacking tho... the platform feels somewhat empty thanks to the positioning of the tower structure. Maybe placing it in the middle and enlarging it a bit might be ideal c:

Another incredible & cohesive building pack, perfect for a custom Gilneas faction. You do us faction-designers an incredible service (even if I start to feel like they are too cohesive... Like, using the same texture for every roof/structure is almost too samey.). Thank you.

Thanks!
I guess the use of same texture is because of my personal preference for uniformity lol. I just like them if they strictly follow the same theme though I recently noticed it as well after making this pack because before I don't really pay much attention to it. But sure enough I will try to add variation for the next pack or for additional models in this pack and the other bundles that I have.

Yeah I mean like I & others have said, cohesion is super important! And I'm very glad you've managed to work so hard at it.
But at the same time, if you line up all the standard buildings of each faction, I think you'll find they manage a sense of Cohesion without necessarily leaning on Uniformity (as I worry your building packs exhibit). And honestly I'm no artist, I don't know how they do it. But I know it's possible, and would take your already-excellent & useful building packs to the absolute top-tier level. : )

I like everything about your work, except for the cannon towers, they always do not fit into the style.

It seems to me that it will be enough to slightly change the color of the top of the tower.

hmmm I guess I will not be doing that since I wanted it to look like an abandoned gold mine repurposed to house the feral worgens.

Hi Bakr! What about troll buildings? There is no normal pack of buildings for them anywhere.

i'm currently working on it. Jungle and ice trolls to be exact. It will take some time though. And also there is already a troll building pack in hive, the bamboo one but I ususally use it for Forest trolls.

Just tested it in my game and it seems to be working just fine. Try to download it again to get the latest updated version and then replace the old model file in your map. If it still fails to work maybe the reason is the high poly of the model or some other issues that I may not be capable of addressing.

I guess there is already a pack featuring the Pandarens. After all my current projects I will be working on Night Elven pack. This is my original plan if I will not be busy this coming weeks.

thanks for returning on short notice, well tested it out a bit and it seems the bug happens when you upgrade a building to the manor building. Otherwise it works perfectly fine, since it happens after you upgrade the building don't know if its actually a problem on your side or not.

in my case the game also crashes or stops sometimes whenever I have faulty triggers or something about the unit is wrong like the dependencies or etc. Try to check them but if the problem is the model itself please do inform me. Thanks!

Oh no this one here has no trigger tied to it, its like scout tower that upgrades to watch tower, its a town hall that can be upgraded into this model.

oh I see I'll try to check the model again but take note that the model does not have a birth animation and is not meant to be buildable.

Amazing! Looks exactly like in WoW. And while I like how you made the Arcane Tower use the same texture as the Cannon Tower, I think the cannon should have a different texture. Either a grey or a dark brown, since it sticks out too much compared to the others that looks so different from the default Human buildings.

I must say that it is one of the best building collection! However, I notice a small problem with the cathedral. It doesn't correctly response to mouseclick. Hope to see it fixes soon.

A very nice variation/adaptation of the human buildings with a very unique twist. Great use of that custom texture.
Good job.

The Mage Tower's base seems to be too low as it tends to clip through the floor a lot of the times I place it:
Other than that, a great collection of buildings and an easy 5/5. Cheers!

Set the Pitch angle and roll angle to zero "0"
The design is intentional since I dont like tilted buildings in game.
Notify me if that solves your problem.

Just make sure that pitch and roll angles are set to 0 and set height and minimum height maybe to 10 or 20. That should work.

Thanks to you both, pitch and roll angle were already at 0 but setting height to 25 and minimum height to 20 is mitigating the issue. The clipping is still visible on some uneven terrain (the torches at the front of the Barracks are also affected) but now it's mostly fine, to be fair the actual issue could be the map Devil's Cauldron, there's barely any flat terrain there for some reason.
