The Secret To Perfect Conan Builds

I like Kitan for inside walls as it's the same on either side and either the french of greek styled doors for between rooms.

I always build in Turanian and Stormglass, works beautifully together 🤘🏾

Hey my friend, can you show me or point me to whatever you did to make the gray wall behind the khitan doorframes? I do not seem to have that piece in my collections. I cant seem to replicate it, although I have watched every video you make

khatin and Nemedian. if no one has mentioned it

Calling me out right there.

There's no secret right or wrong way to build. It all comes down to personal preference and creativity. Some prefer simple builds others prefer complex.

I just tried Nemedian and Argossian today and it turned out great!

nice give me some good ideas

Any chance you will doing some more EBA builds? I really appreciate how immersive your creations are. I love adding versions of them into my own game!!

Glad my favourite Stormglass-Turanian got here (black and gold is my favourite combo). Aside from that I love using Aquilonian/Argossean-Frontier (A/A for exterior, F for interior to make it more comfy and warmer with wooden pieces), Aquilonian/Argossean-Turan (basically making bridge between eastern and western cultures, sometime calling it "Byzantine" or "Sicilian" style) and Stormglass-latice pieces from Stables (since Stormglass has no open windows, many of its builds, especially in warmer biomes such as EL desert, jungle and savannah, and IoS floodlands and Isle of Dawn, could feel very stifling, and latice could get some air in. I suppose same issue could be with Pyramid set, so using lattice walls here could work as well)

Arena and Reinforced Stone makes for an oppressive feel when used properly.

Yamatai Stairs and Argo roofs with the Pyramid set looks nice.

I built a Pagoda 100% from scratch and memory using Aesir walls as a base (also concealing a dungeon underneath) and Yamatai for the towers. It is my favorite build to date

Nemedian & yamatai for japanese castle build walls and ramps nemedian walls roofs and doors with windows its yamatai other parts its stable or frontier

Personally I've been using a lot of Aqui/Argo with Nemedian roofs lately to create things like Aquilonian Blacksmiths/Tanneries/Woodcutter type buildings. By then using things like Insulated wood to create shacks for storage things really start to come together. Perfect for a section of a city where the less opulent of people might live!

Mixing it up is always best, yep. SOme amazing combos and versatile builds.
I always try to go for the 'lived-in', slightly shabby look with working bases, and throw in some 'bling' for the sorcerous and leadership.
I would also include modded build-pieces, but that raises the risk of base collapse should there be an issue with the mod in the future.

Nemedian and stable for the main body with argossian roofing. Gives it a nice Mediterranean feel and a bit of the AoE2 Spanish building vibe.

My castle build uses Black Ice, Storm Glass, and Frontier. I used a couple of mods, Black Ice doesn't have the ugly wood frame on the inside wall and I use Lemurian for black marble floors and stairs, and I forgot to mention Nemedian wooden floors for the ramparts which contrasts nicely with all the black.

Great combination. I just dont know how you find the ideas for those designs of yours. You have a gift!

IMO Arena works with everything. It's probably the set that I use most.

I used to play on a server with someone who mixed storm glass walls with aquilonian floors. I don't think that I would have put those two together but they looked great in his dark castle.

did you use building mods on the cathedral?

Arena (foundations, ground/top ceilings & outer pillars/stairs/fences) & Nemedian (walls, mid ceilings, inner pillars/stairs/fences & roofs), plus their doors/gates combine perfectly is my favourite combo, second and significantly cheaper to build without creative mode is Insulated Wood with Nemedian celings/roofs and a touch of frontier.

Aqualonian and Arogosian may as well be the same-ish set really. Lol, I mean even the decorations look like they go together the only difference is the sea theme for Argosian.

Well I was building a cathederal until I saw yours. But mine to shame lol

Try Pyramid + Stormclass = nice contrast 🙂

I like to use Nemedian with a mix of stable, insulated wood, and flotsam fences for balconies or roof trimmings

I find the nemedian roofs having unique roof tiles allows you more easily break up the shape of the roof, and it tends to work with most sets.

My biggest problem is getting into material ruts where I overuse one building set then drop it and move on to another set and over use that one.

I recently used black ice walls with nemedian roofs, gave my build a dark medevial feel.

I've been ask to make a vid on the Anti-Purge bridge I use and how the build it. Might jazz it up using the Nemedian / Yamatai sets if it works.
Was the Aeisr set a Bazzaar thingy? that could work on a few aspects

Forgot Arena/yama, gives a good contrast, then nemedian roof (always nemedian nowadays😅)

Sometimes you only want/need one piece from any set. I like to use frontier ceilings through many builds because of the even boards and decorative filigree. I also like using the lattice walls on the 2nd high wall as ventilation in warmer biomes, roleplay of course.

Turan gate with People of the Dragon. That gold and black gate/gate frame brings a bit of bling to an otherwise austere build.
Plus, the chicks dig that combo. (you know, for the servers with those 'special' mods

The last, Turanian and Stormglass, is what I use for my main base and it looks great, especially at night with regular fire lights.

On another channel (I forget the name) they used the Turanian bazaar set (mostly the white silk wall pieces) with Argossean and Aquilonian to good effect.

I used the Aquilonian/Argossian + Stormglass when building your most recent maproom design. I used the stormglass to close the gaps because I was building in the jungle and I didn't want the rain coming in.

Wonderful video, as always. You're super, God bless you!

forgot my favorite, arena and frontier. although pyramid and reinforced stone has been something i also found works together well.

Dang some very nice combos there!
