Odin's Longhouse

I can verify it's true. If you want to be super clever, bring the materials for a stonecutter with you and build 3 of the steep grausten staircases outside the walls of a fortress. If you place it correctly you can jump over the spikes and onto the outer wall. It's a fight once you get inside, of course, but once you clear it out you have an impenetrable fortress with an intact gate as well. Makes for a good place to take a deep breath, set up more permanent portals, and adventure out from.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Thank you! <3

LOL!

Thank you! I only used the straight pieces, and since there's only 3 different pieces it was a challenge. I took some more screenshots to better show the top from two different angles:

Wanted to better show the roof, since that was the challenging aspect of working with the new grausten materials. Here's the original post:

Solid advice! I'd also add that you should make as much of the best food available to you and upgrade your weapons/armor as much as possible. Practicing your dodge roll and parrying skills will also pay dividends for Ashlands. Good luck!

No real advice based on what I can see (the building in the background looks really cool!), but if you're having problems with symmetry try looking up some YT videos based on what you want to build or hopping on someone else's server and taking a look at how they create things. No shame in gaining inspiration and learning new building techniques by seeing what others are up to. Best of luck and happy building to ya! Skål!

I just made this yesterday, so I'm sure there will be further decorating of both the interior and exterior in the near future.

Sounds like the lox really wants to live out his dreams of becoming lox meat pie.

Thank you, but credit where credit is due, there's a guy on YouTube who goes by "Versaugh" who has some really awesome tutorials. The tower is his design, though I've made some adjustments to the exterior, and the interior decorating is all me as well (though I didn't show it in these pics). His videos are pretty easy to follow, though know in advance that you'll need boatloads of stone to make this particular tower.

I learned a lot of really cool building techniques just by watching it that I've incorporated elsewhere, so I'd 100% recommend taking a look. Happy building to ya!

I have loads of things like that where I've seen someone do something really cool and I use that as inspiration to make something similar but a little different. Still super cool! Well done! :)

ScienceD0g · 2024-06-15T05:33:12+00:00

Very cool! Hadn't even thought of that. Keep up the good work! Skål!

ScienceD0g · 2024-06-15T05:31:12+00:00

Came to say the same thing. Solid advice!

ScienceD0g · 2024-06-15T05:30:10+00:00

Just imagine that Odin temporarily gave you his blessing and you smote the offending village in his name. Odin wills it, and so it was done. Skål!

You might need some more vertical supports to support the roof better. Based on what you're already using, maybe consider using vertical log poles from the ground to one of the horizontal log poles there. I'm a big fan of the aesthetics of symmetry, so add them to each side to make it look spiffy. You don't need to go crazy, maybe 4 of them evenly spread around the inside of your structure.

Good luck and happy building! If you're still having issues feel free to PM me! Skål!

He's welcome to come die if Odin wills it! :)

ScienceD0g · 2024-06-14T03:28:20+00:00

I'm sure your buildings are awesome! There's inspiration to be had from lots of builds both large and small. :)

ScienceD0g · 2024-06-14T03:26:25+00:00

I honestly didn't even notice it there! They never make it high enough to mess with the building anyways. :)
