I had some blood spewing effects coming out of the eyes, saving it as "Blood Dragon Scull." But I couldn't remove the "E" and it was very annoying. So for the time being, imagine blood spewing out of the eyes.

I imagined the scull of a dragon protruding from the ground and some people build a shrine in its mouth to "harness the power of the dragon scull." They also built a winding stone pathway because a straight one would look too boring... Mushrooms grow from the dark power of the dragon scull. So those must be evil mushrooms not meant for consumption.

It's my first attempt. Learning how to use the tools, coming up with the idea, fiddling around with blood effects, trying and failing to put it in the map creator, just under an hour. Lots of fun.

nice work..

Here's my third attempt at making a tile.

I call it "Tomb of the Ghost Slayer"

I really liked the "escape effects" ghostly appearance and had a a wooden structure over the top, but you couldn't see the cave! It had to go.

I tried going for something like: one culture wanted to tomb this guy in, another revered him so much they made a shrine out of his tomb. The ghostly corpse still emits power enough to enshroud the surrounding area with "fog."

The effects really slowed down my meager computer, but once again, and unlike my second attempt, it was a blast to make.

Othello, I must say that I love the barn-thing. I may yoink that in the future.

Thanks Luckmann. The ladders and broken wagon are what does it for me.

The bush on the foremost right-hand pillar is misaligned.

Other than that, I think it looks absolutely awesome. Considering my own suckyness in using the Tile Editor, I can only say that I'm envious. I'd put some people in there, though. Maybe just one or two talking outside the house, or in the backyard.

Eh, the Tiles I was making were too environmental, so I realized I needed border tiles lest they look too static, which means they would be impossible to look good on a random generation.

So I'll get back to it at release I think ... but for now I will play Nocturne and continue to think of ideas for an SMT mod

Thanks for posting your fort. I think they look great. Does anything need to go in the middle? Maybe some troops or a campfire.

I'll wonder if I should care or not about proportion when making a tile, in the end, if I like it, it goes in. But I can see the annoyance of shrinking flags.

Here's my attempt of a dragon trainer. The penned in dragons are too attached to the trainer at this time to fly away .

I dunno, maybe it's just my settings, but about half way zoomed out the dragons disappear. Not a terrible downer but, a little disappointing.

I find it really great to take a building either without windows and put ones of your own choice in there or cover up the existing ones. The original windows, if there are great don't get me wrong, but if you can personalize it as much as possible even better.

I wish I knew how to put these on a map!

I've been messing around with the tile editor, and can't seem to figure out how to get the effects to work. Is this just me? It's really annoying having to load a map that I placed the tile onto to see the effect. I must be missing something...

NTJedi, the system to share mods aren't in place yet. Last I heard, we can only share maps.

Of course, it is still technically possible to share the creations manually, but without the game having gone live yet, there's actually little point.

Jedi, the intention of this thread is to see what people are creating. We can learn from each other to everyone's benefit. Please share if you have any, I'm interested in see what everyone is doing with the editor.

John, I really like the "viewing room" on the left. I might use that idea sometime

dsk, you really pulled together a full scene. The guy sitting on the house is pretty funny. I'm still learning how to properly apply people and you seemed to have nailed it.
