Alternate original seven faction mod

What a relief. Now that I know how to do it, I feel as though I can make these bases properly.

[Buster's Uncle]

Plus, I suggest making the Labyrinth not have so many windows. If I may suggest an idea to go off of, slope the sides so it's a trapezoid.

Sort of like this:

Note that you can tell instantly that the shot is of a model, not a large building viewed fro a distance.  Perspective.  -It matters.

[JarlWolf]

Yeah, but why I dragged this image out is for the sloped design on the sides is all.

The Labyrinth buildings would look more bunkerish, which is the intention, if they had that sloped design.

Do you mean that you would want the underground section sloped or the buildings on the surface?

[Dio]

Is it just me or do the earlier bases have a different perspective than the officially released ones?

[Buster's Uncle]

That may have been a late realization that needed fixing.  The way the map's laid out calls for around 45 degrees.

[Dio]

What do you think?

[Buster's Uncle]

I can't really tell what I'm looking at...

I see what you did because of the filename, though.

[Dio]

Gaian base size 2. Added roots to indicate what they are.

[Geo]

I always wondered about those 'trees' where Gaians attach their habitats to. Aren't they just rocky outcrops? At least in the enhanced diplomatic landscape in the .svg thread they look more like rock formations...

[Dio]

If you look at the pre-release gaian bases, you will see that none of them have roots. This leads me to believe that they are not trees but rather some kind of solid organic matter or are as Geo said, rock outcrops. Maybe the gaians are hippies that like to set-up and attach little saucer shaped shelters to rocks. Hmmmm, it makes you wonder.

[Buster's Uncle]

Oh, I think they're definitely some sort of biostructures.

[Dio]

Here is a refined version of the gaian base size 1.

[Dio]

Final version of the gaian size 1 base. Also gaian size 1 base with perimeter defense.

[Dio]

Refined version of the gaian bases size 2.
