Stone Mason / Kobold Building

Inspired by Petra

I tried not to make this too Koboldy so you could use it for other stuff, like Orcs or Centaur or something.
I might add one with candles or something later, who knows.

The glow on the firepits doesn't move in the Sanity Checker or "View in 3D", but it pulsates in-game.


Please report bugs etc.

An archaic looking stone building. Works in-game. Approved!

A solid (ha) building, unique form, useful. Good reference.

I worry about those duller doodad/terrain textures being used for buildings like this. I also worry that in trying to make something "kobold but not too kobold-y", you may have hit the unhappy medium where it's not particularly good for either kobolds or something else? But ah dannae.

I like this building! If proper texture could be adapted with dark/grey stone and some other elements such as bats, this could be easily turned into haunted tower/castle :cgrin:
Definitely a variation on a crypt would work.

It probably wouldn't work as a barracks for most barrens creeps/also-rans, but it could be some other tertiary thing like upgrades or a shop. I think you could pass it off as a mid-eastern or Egyptian themed building.

In a perfect world I'd fit a sculpture of a kobold or something in there, but personally I'm about 80% happy with it. What would you suggest to improve it? Besides candles. In my head it's where they do this.
