Twilight's Hammer Buildings

[Footman16]

Really awesome set of models and much needed, and whilst the models have good variance in sillhouette, I feel like the colour variation and textures are a bit monotone? Part of it is how low-res the tentacle texture is I think. Also the tier 3 of the Main Building feels a little disappointing, I think something closer to the Twilight Spire from WoW would suit better where it goes from being mostly building part tentacle to mostly tentacle only part building.

Other than that, an overall solid set of buildings!

I concur. Besides, I'm not sure that current TC will be noticeable in game.

Let's add another orc clan to the todo list. Yet another banger set. Looks great!

 

[The Nightmare Book]

Wow. Just in time.

 

[deepstrasz]

Neat but yeah, I'm gonna chime in: that simple almost textureless gray doesn't look or do too good.

The TC needs to be far brighter, at minimum 3x brighter. It's hard to see even in Model Viewer, this needs to be easy to see at a glance without even paying direct attention to it.

And the Altar is spelled Alater, and one of the names even has a . in it.

If you ever make them as a playable race, you would be doing me a favor if your TH Race mainly has Air and Fire Elementals as basic units.

Hmm... I must agree with some users that some changes should take place.
For the Birth model, how you replace the creepy skeleton fingers with writhing Old God/Forgotten One tentacles, yes? Otherwise, it will look like a nod to the retail Undead faction in-game.
Additionally, Death and Void actually hate each other, so having skeletal phalanges wouldn't look fitting.

I'm eternally grateful for modellers and the beautiful model packs you've been making, but admittedly, this suffers from the same issue your other building packs do: a severe lack of team color. I'd honestly only use these in a singleplayer map/campaign mission/as doodads, because they're virtually unusable in a multiplayer map where knowing whose building is whose is important.

The Crystals and Lamps are the TC.

The Crystals and Lamps are the TC.

Barely noticeable in-game though, especially when you're fixated on actually playing. There's a reason vanilla structures have plenty of team color.
Besides, why not make the hut/tower cloth team colored? Or the purple-ish accents into TC-based accents?

Take the altar for example.

Those two crystals as well as the similar crystals around the centre are the only bits of TC on the entire structure. That's absolutely insane. It's still a good model pack, but it's not optimal for making a faction in an altered melee, risk map, etc.

what a beautiful pack

Look on the bright side.
By the time they fix these errors, they will already have created even more structures too.
Damn, as a matter of fact, they didn't even include the Watch Tower yet. :|

Watcher model is a tower equivalent

 

[DaHomieG]

Amazing work as always! Can't wait to see the next clan

 

[Ruler Red Draenei]

This is awesome! Would it be possible to make a version of the goldmine with a work, standard birth, and death animation so it could be used as an ogre mound production building?

 

[Njord]

Great work as always. As a Warcraft 2 supremacist, I wish you'd made them according to the original Twilight's Hammer lore, before all the wow retcons, but that's a personal preference.
It's a fantastic pack *

Edit: Good job on the update on the team coloring.

 

[Mizuki]

Chieftain Cho'gall would be happy about this. Anyways, fantastic set of Orc Buildings!

 

[=X=EclipsE]

That's amazing!

 

[Wa666r]

Good job on the updated TC, happy to y'all taking the criticism and improving from it.
For the TC version I think you could edit the values around on the older TC parts, the crystal and lantern specifically have too much white color mixing in with the TC, making the TC look quite different from the more bold new ones.

 

[Ariac]

Genuinely? I am very much approving of the TC y'all are working on! Excellent.

 

[Riki]

Another cool building pack. Thank you guys

 

[Goldfinger]

Cool buildings!

 

[StonemaulMidget]

Serious question: Why is the altar named "alatar?" Is there significance behind the naming?

 

[=X=EclipsE]

The team colors are more distinct, which is excellent.

 

[Homor]

I feel like the regular colors should be saturated a bit more,

 

[Ariac]

I just realized, where tf is the door to the Smithy? Is the furnace a "Fire Door" for Fire Elementals? xD

Or is it just a supermassive forge that has nothing but the internal furnace and some exterior equipment?

 

[stan0033]

All buildings seem very well-mdae and clearly work in-game. Great pack.
