[XP] Castle Map

Question

Ok, so, here's the thing, I have no idea how to use the Castle Exterior or Interior tilesets. So, I needed to know if someone could 1) teach me or 2) make me a castle (exterior) that will fit a 41+ (it might be more then 41) wide map plus an interior as well that has a throne room and room for monsters (both are very important!)?

Since I am a little bored here, I thought I'd give it a shot and try to write a tutorial for you about castle interiors.

 

The castle interiors are actually very easy to map, and are particularly the same as mapping towns' interiors.

 

Let us try to map a small throne room.

 

-----------------------------------

 

First off, we will begin with the first layer to put on the walls, grounds and carpets. The castle interior tileset has two kinds of walls, the red ones and white ones. Remember NOT to use them BOTH above each other, unless you are going for a really big, tall wall.

Remember to also use variation in the walls, and don't make them perfect squares. It just doesn't look right.

Now on the second layer, we are going to add some curtains and wall candles, in a nice, symmetrical (cause it's man-made) way.

On the same layer (second one), we are going to add some plants and flowers in a lovely way to add some scenery.

Now to wrap things up, I am going to add a small table with a book on it, the throne chairs as well as some windows and pictures. Now how detailed is that!

We are done. This is how it finally looks with some screen toning and effects:

Of course, you can always add some more stuff and variate. ;)

 

I hope that helped. If it did, I will try to write a one about exteriors for you. ^^

 

(Btw, that map is not perfect. I am just trying to show you the basics and all.)

Wow, nice. What about making just a regular castle, though? I mean...the castle itself would be different then the throne room, wouldn't it?

Ahh so you mean a castle with a dining hall, prison and other castle stuff? Sure thing. But it depends whether you want all your stuff on one map or in separate rooms.
