Better Base Building Bureau (Clan Building Showcase and Tips Thread)

Well, look what must have snuck its way into the yuletide ending patch.

I’ve got a huuuge build to share soon. Hope you’re excited :hugs:

Also we’ve gotta use this thread more. I can’t believe it just died like that…

Heeere we go! It’s FINALLY finished!!! Just as I thought, it was way too big to post in a reply here, so I had to make it its own topic. But I gave this thread a shout-out. I hope to see it get more use soon :pray:

I have a megabuild planned as well, but it’s heavily work in progress. For now this one’s just a sneak peak at the tomb’s entrance (The gate is purely for aesthetics rather than for function).

Ooh a Cassia Bay build! It has a lot of space, I’m really excited to see what you’ll do with it :hugs:

This is so peak BUT

?

If you mean the build looks unfinished, I kinda have to agree, I probably could have TRIPLED the decoration count and done way more terraforming if it weren’t for the limits.

Another sneak peak, this time the market settlement base terrain as well as the castle at the top. Would decorate the hell out of it the next time I have time. Might just be the last sneak peak since all the base forms are done.

Very cool Cassia base

Here’s an in-progress Sandfall Isle build. Tier 4 walls are the best ones that I can consistently make the money for.

This looks pretty cool! I’ve been wanting to make a Sandfall build myself, honestly.

Me and my friend’s Blackreach base.
(it’s sadly on my personal slot since subclans currently can’t build on clan slot due to a bug that hasn’t been fixed for 7 months)


The ancient ruins of a lost civilization, taken over by an Assassin Circle in the last 40 years and transformed into a hideout and place of stay.


Main base

First of all, the defense towers:


There’s 10 of these surrounding the entire island, with plenty of mortars and cannons on each, generally preventing most ships from getting too close.



We then have our docks. We made sure to make them exactly big enough so that a brig can actually turn around in them instead of getting stuck. We also have a shipbuilder and builder there, as well as cargo we receive, with a big stack of alcohol barrels too, since it’s tradition to hunt while seeing double.



The entrances to the maze are sealed off, and inside of it, we have a secret hideout and council room.


Now let’s head to the main base’s entrance:


Inside there’s the main hall were all the members of our Assassin Circle come discuss about their latest or future hunts, experiences, or discoveries.

On the west edge we have our merchants and shops, inside old ruins, selling goods and services we may need.



South of there, we have our rehabilitation center where we convince enemies to join our cause.



We ain’t monsters tho so there’s toilets.



Going back near the entrance, we have a little camp for anyone temporarily staying, visitors of allied organizations, or representatives of kingdoms or the Grand Navy recruiting our services.



On a hill deep in the forest, we then have our barracks, where any of our members stay during any passage here.


We then have our main watchtower for the base, to surveil the entrance and main buildings.



Only accessible by a tiny crack in a mountain, we have our storage room, where we stash important resources and items.


Last but not least, high up in the clouds, we have our watchplatform, to be able to see nearby islands and spot any incoming attackers.


Which also allows me to make an aerial picture of most of the base:

Other small details/locations


On the edge of the island, the crypt where fallen members lay.



The skull of an Atlantean Dragon that once wandered out of the Dark Sea west of here and sieged the base, taking many lives down with it.



Fireflies seem to constantly flock to this pond, and seem to be magically charged to provide constant light, even without needing food or water, which is why we often use them to make lanterns.

Future plans

Ideally, we’d love to have a lot more interior decorations, specifically torches for most of our places without walls, as well as carpets, desks, and the like to make a sort of reception hall.
I also wanted to make a library, filled with books and documents we have acquired all over the War Seas, ancient texts of power as well as political secrets and widely destroyed history books. For that a bookshelf decoration would be necessary tho.

We’re really hoping for a feature that let’s you “give up” a personal slot to make it a clan slot, since we haven’t had access to a clan slot for the past half a year and were forced to invest on this slot, we can’t feasibly rebuild it all when clan slots are fixed due to the base costing roughly 8 million galleons to build (5mil mortars + cannons, 1mil walls, 1 mil towers and farms, 1 mil all the rest).

@SpectreTheFox rate the base :slight_smile:

I’m also always trying to improve it so any suggestions, no matter how small are welcome :smiley:

This is AWESOME!!! You did a really good job with the lore and worldbuilding. I love the inside of the maze; as probably everyone knows by now, I’m a big cave fanatic. The watchtowers are very cool as well. I wonder how you buult those sky platforms?

Kinda been making up the lore itsy bitsy, but it was very fun to do.

I would’ve wanted to make ALOT more cave rooms, especially in the one with lilypads and waterfalls, the problem is that building built on the surface extend below ground sadly, meaning alot of the rooms are completely blocked out.

I think it’s technically bug abuse, so I can’t really share it. I will say that you can’t build any building with it tho, only docks and ladders :smiley:

Also stealing the meme

By the way, does anyone now how to stop the ascii arts from turning into emojis?
Also!


I haven’t managed to replicated stacking a candle pillar inside a table, mind sharing that strat? I’m really trying to make the main discussion hall look as good as possible

Is placing a candle on top of a table not something you can normally do? If it doesn’t work for you I’m not sure how to help. Maybe it has to be the Council Table, since that’s the one I used.
