I've decided, given some recent trials and tribulations with Warhammer Total War's buildings, that I'd really rather do building descriptions the way we did the unit ones rather than via github.
The basic methodology is the same, except that to begin with I'm going to try to avoid too many new buildings. For each we need a short & long description and name. The long ones don't have to be too long as practically nobody reads long building descriptions anyway. Also, each building
tree has its own name too.
The tree names usually include a description, so for example "Dwarf Halls - train dwarfen troops".
Right, so what we need, original building followed by what the new descriptions have to be);
- Core buildings (5 levels - maybe Master's lodge, etc etc, though that fits less well with the areas that aren't technically colleges. These are the governor's house etc that determine settlement size. Maybe butteries up to great halls as food => Size of place?)
- Walls (5 levels - but can probably use vanilla descriptions since a wall is still a wall)
- Barracks (5 levels College Buildings that will train college staff, porters, basic students)
- Sewers, baths (4 levels, sinks in rooms/showers/somethinglikethat)
- Roads (3 levels, Dirt/Gravel/Paved paths?)
- Stables (4 levels, train the arts students)
- Missiles (4 levels, train the science students)
- Market (5 levels, pidges and plodges)
- Port buildings (3 levels, punt yards and jetties etc)
- Farms (5 levels, college gardens)
- Blacksmith (3 levels, whatever might be a good weapon store)
- Academies (3 levels, college libraries seem a good bet)STUDENT SOCIETIES (Aka Temples, only need 1 level each I think)
- Assassins' Guild, trains assassins (description done)
- Student Newspaper, trains spies (description done)
- Drinking Society, trains drunks (description done)
CUTT (Exarchate & Outlands) -> Larpwarriors, Orcs, ?Swogs?
CUSFS (Backs Alliance & Hill Conf.) -> CUSFSites, Jomsvikingr, when built on Castle Mound + Jomsberserkers and Jomsguard
CTS (Western & Republic) -> Tower Guard, Elfin Allies
Activist Society (Republic & Pact) -> Picket line, Rainbow Guard
CICCU (Entente & Outlands) -> Missionaries, Mission leaders
Student Theatre (Entente & Backs Alliance) -> Players, Techies
1x for Pact
1x for Exarchate
1x for Western
1x for Hill Colleges
In terms of theatres etc, those are less built in for the game so it's easier to mess around with them more, so feel free to throw together some descriptions for college bars and theatres etc and I'll chuck those in.
So yeah, that's a lot of work, but it's fairly necessary I'm afraid and working out the different building levels should hopefully be fun-ish. This is really the only other big job I need you guys to do, whilst I get the unit rosters built up and the loading screens done, which chews up time like nothing on earth.
Thankyou!
