With all due respect, I don't think you understand what this demo is trying to do by reviving the old version of village upgrades from Taleworlds (mexxico's idea).

BannedYeah well the design is bollocks.
That behemoth of a Flakturm towering over the village of barely a dozen wooden huts standing in the middle of a field still looks comically out of place. At that point it might as well be a stone mott & bailey keep or militia headquarters and that's in a wealthier village because of the stonework needed on that thing. Why insist on recreating the same ridiculousness when you could simply make a tower of wood that serves it function of reconnaissance just as well or a tall but lean stone tower if you're so hung up on making it stone.
As far as I understand it, the placement of these in-mission props is defined by code in a more or less random way (cardinal points position variable), not manually and made up by the scene editor. The interesting thing here in this demo are the effects and how the player interferes with them through this project manager.

BannedThat's great. My gripe is with the flak tower, not the mod, or the original idea by mexxico, itself.As far as I understand it, the placement of these in-mission props is defined by code in a more or less random way (cardinal points position variable), not manually and made up by the scene editor.

And those structures/props you're talking about exist in the game with their corresponding miniatures (rescalable if necessary) and culture-sensitive or would you have to create them from scratch? ... I say this because if it's the second way, I'm sure Bloc will be grateful for your help with those 3d models... but for the moment I think he'll be happy with the native ones

Apart from being able to build a tower as a military watchtower where you can increase the number of militia and security against raids, in Bloc's version you can actually build a watchtower very much in line with what we had in warband (messenger post + watcht tower) but applied physically both in the in-mission scene and in the campaign map as well.
Regarding the patrols issue, the best comment I agree with 100% is this one which add a set of improvements/ideas to aplly for Castles due the little importance that Taleworlds is giving to castles (castles as a pure settlement). I think that this + the application of Bloc's demo, would increase the playable experience.
