Balmora Castle was my first project. It has undergone several make-overs to make it up to my standards but I think I got it how I wanted it now ^_^


Details:


The castle is three full levels (Four including the gardens), complete with two greenhouses, massive storage rooms, several guest rooms, study, archery range, pool, temple and three connecting gardens each with various water features.


Building:


First I started with just a normal hill in this massive open area. I stood on top of this hill and could see quiet far so I built on it. The first version of Balmora was small, only two levels with no outer walls, but still big on the inside. After finishing the first one, I wanted to make it bigger with higher ceilings and larger rooms. But I had already built all over the mountian, so I had to make the mountian bigger. So I extended the size of the base (atleast double its size) and built again.


Im still working on parts of the inside and since alot of the mountian is hollow Im thinking of an underground train station for minecarts :)





If I get good votes I'll keep extending it :)


Sorry but this was created for private purposes on a friends private server, so the closest anyone will ever get to it is right here.


Post away!

Not based off Balmora. Balmora looks nothing like this place.

I just picked the name at random. I named the front main gate "Vivec Gate". All you die-hard Elder Scrolls fans know who that is!

This castle looks like nothing else I could think of, so just a random name :)

Is it based off Balmora from Morrowind? It is really cool.

Honestly, I spent a few hours looking through all the texture packs for something remotly decent, and couldn't find anything that made me go "Wow!", so I kept it vanilla.

Im working on the inside. Ive made the rooms quiet large so filling them will be a challenge, but I think it will come along nicely.

Nice work!
It's great that someone is still using original texture pack, imo custom texture packs just ruins the game.
Upvote by me.
