Harrenhal Redo Discussion Megathreat

[RavishMeRed]

We have decided to implement a wooden palisade for the town based on several reasons:

• While throughout history, although Harrentown was once considered the fourth largest city in Westeros, it was purely because of an event that took place. Occupants would have left after the Great Council had concluded and the town returned to its former self.
• We believe that Harrentown does not participate in enough import and export of goods to constitute large walls, but instead acts as a hub within the Gods Eye area.
• We agree with the points made by both Estoop and Dutch. Harrentown sits in the shadow of Harrenhal and exists purely because of the existence of the castle. The town would depend on security from the castle so taking time to import and build stone for walls is a bit unnecessary.
• As mentioned by Dutch, towns and villages have been known to build their own wooden palisade walls in preparation to war. A ramshackle and hastily built wall also fits within the vibe we are trying to achieve for the town and general area.
• We have implemented an 'old wall' within the town limits. This helps portray that the town has moderately expanded throughout its life. The castle and town have also deteriorated, progressively getting worse throughout the centuries.

Regards,
Ravish, Ric, and Scub

I think there shouls be pretty flowers and garlands decorating the walls

Tried to visualize some of the discussion me, Ric, Emot had about Harrenhal in game, specifically related around the flowstone yard and how we imagined a dragon landing and breathing fire would actually change the architecture. I wasn't sure about the direction of the flame.

Chernobyl elephant's foot sort of formation at the end where it met the wall

The Elephants Foot is a great reference actually! The material burned through like 6 feet of reinforced concrete it was that hot
Sneak peak of a new block to hopefully make Harrenhal come to life

Could you apply the slagged stone texture to a ghostskin like block? that way you can layer it a bit more as well

Cant wait to use this blockset for some bullshit unintended purpose

Joking aside you could probs use the slagged stone blocks for other places that got torched by dragons, like in the Dragonpit which probably got melted a bit when that collapsed.

The ghostskin overlay is kinda cool

That looks sick!

They're like stalactites of molten stone, looks really good.
