Hi ManofLego, thanks for applying. Rohan is not one of our current styles - the last thing to be built there is the walls in Rondgeld so there’s no point trying to build in that style.
You also need to pay better attention to how we build things on the server. This build is much too simple and doesn’t use any of our techniques. Some things that stand out:
The floor is wooden, rather than compacted dirt
The roof is far too ‘square’, doesn’t use a gradient, doesn’t use any kind of block model like stairs/layers/corners etc
The interior has no hearth (which is in basically every building in Rohan), has a bunch of torches on the walls, and uses furniture that isn’t appropriate to the Anglo-Saxon period
The farm/garden outside just uses wheat in a square box, which is what people build in survival Minecraft and does not reflect any kind of historical reality
Please try to build an Anorien house in the style of /warp DorTylys and post the album when you’re done.
Sorry about that, wasn’t aware that Rohan was done. Tried my best on the Anorien house going off of one of the ones in Dor Tylys, but I haven’t really built with any of these techniques before.
Anyway, here be the link: https://imgur.com/a/XYj3HD1
Sorry for the long wait
There are quite a few things you should change to make it appealing:
-lengthen the house and lower the roof, byzantine dwellings are often really long and low
-have the rooms more properly divided, add a beam in-between the interior walls to make the rooms feel more separate.
-since you’ll be lengthening your house it’d be nice to add more rooms, can have a dining room or a food storage room with an exterior entranceway
-the wicker in the corner of the house is quite pointless, replace it with a proper bed based on the ones built already
Might add more if more issues come to mind
School’s been really annoying lately - the changes are almost done, just working on the new room’s interior. Shooting to be done by next Monday at the latest.
