Title: Smaller Church
Post by: Bobbi on August 30, 2014, 10:23:42 AM
I would like to see a smaller church, a chapel, more in keeping with the small village than major town that is currently in the game. Members would be maybe 50 or 75? Better yet, three sizes 50, 100 and 200. Maybe in more than one design. Any modders interested?

Sounds good.  At least a 100 size little country church. 

Which gets me to thinking, maybe there could be a extra large size cathedral that holds 500 also!

Yeah, that would be great... the current Church always seems to be a bit out of place, a smaller chapel for the outer rural areas would be cool.

I'd also like it if e.g. a large cathedral was harder to get - like (much) longer time to build... a cathedral should take at least 50 game-years or so to build. I'm not sure if 'build-time' can be set (like it feels to me as if building wells takes much longer than anything else?), if not it would maybe need to be done via lots of materials and laborers... A large cathedral should be hard to get - even if for nothing else but the sense of accomplishment  ;D

If it required 1,000 stone it should take awhile!

Hi All,

Nice to see were all on the same page with this.

Hopefully Blackwood mods will fill your religious needs, with shrines, chapels, churches and of course Cathedrals.  For a more balanced sense of scale, Cathedrals will have the same footprint as the current chapel, and everything else will be scaled down from that, and they will come in an assortment of denominations ;) Oh, and there will be replacements for the cemetery.

Cheers all.

@graphite I'm looking forward to hearing and reading more from you!

Thanks for the info and thanks for joining us here on WOB!

I've been hoping for this for a long time. The current chapel is NOT a country church. The basic graphics for a small, wooden chapel already exist in the school. Just add a steeple--not too big. The current chapel works well for town squares and maybe a 400 capacity chapel for the centre of the settlement that takes more materials and more builders.

I would still like to see a cathedral size structure twice as long as the current building and set to hold 500 and requires 5x the amount of material to build.
Title: Re: Smaller Church
Post by: Bobbi on August 31, 2014, 01:59:58 PM
That would be swell, too, for the bigger towns. But I swear, when I saw the church, I thought: Luke what were you thinking? It is just not the appropriate size for a little village.

perhaps a dumbed down version of Notra Dame would fit the bill :)

That's a good point. The little church really should look a lot like the school.

Perhaps something like this one: (http://skiensatlas.net/images/4001_Luksefjell%20Kirke%20i%20Fjellet.jpg)
I've always thought that Luksefjell church would fit right in with this game.
Title: Re: Smaller Church

hi kee,

yes that could work, but ... better reference material would be needed for modelling and texturing.  Thank you for including the name, now something like this I can work with ;)

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98905290/Bannished/churches/Luksefjell_kapell.jpg) it's the same church.

cheers

i would say ... just use the same painting (graphics paint) as the school. and it will be nicely fit with it

That one would make @solarscreen happy, I think. And go with the castle created by Cosacks. Me, I am not so sure I see the world of banished as medieval. If I ever figure out how to reduce the hideous lag in my games so that I can play with higher pops, I could see these things fitting into a bigger town.
Title: Re: Smaller Church
Post by: irrelevant on September 27, 2014, 08:27:12 PM
I definitely would have built one of these in Sink Mill, that's what that town needed!

hehe ok, i ll add that at the bottom of the long list :)
Title: Re: Smaller Church
Post by: rkelly17 on September 28, 2014, 08:28:08 AM
I like that! As to realism or Medievalness, I'll bet that not too far from where @RedKetchup lives there must be a small village has a big, honking neo-Gothic or neo-Romanesque church in the middle of the village that looks like it would hold three times the population, eh?

bah in my little 5000 pop town.... it looks like ... the one Luke did ^^

edit no, not exactly, lol , long time i didnt see it ^^

(http://www.semainierparoissial.com/IMAGES/1530a.jpg) this is the one in my little town.

Not sure something like that would fit so well into Banished. It seems to big to me, and it will get too dominant. But that might just mean I don't build it. Others will probably appreciate it.

What I'm really hoping for is some variety in various sizes. In our area small towns and villages all have churches and each one is different. Since the British settled people here in blocks by religion, you can have wildly different sizes and styles from massive neo-gothic basilicas to tiny clapboard meeting houses in villages just a couple of kilometers apart. That kind of thing is what I would like to do in Banished.

Hehe; on day 1.

"Okay people, religion is important, haul ass and get those stones, logs and iron deposited so we can start building our version of the Sistine Chapel. Housing... food... we can deal with that later."
