Alternate original seven faction mod

[Dio]

Look at the red underline and think three dimensionally.

I have done some research on this and have learned that since after the legalization of Christanity in the Roman empire, most of the large christian churches and cathedrals were built in the shape of a cross. What I can not figure is how to combine the obvious christian influences and background of the faction into there bases while still basing it off the diplomacy landscape.

Sometimes they did that, not always. 

Attached is a very simplified overhead view of what I think we're looking at in the DL, with the black indicating POV.  There may be a lot more to the structure out of sight, for all I know.

[Dio]

I do believe I have figured it out. I think that it is showing a monastery complex with the main building you are facing being the church and the white structure and buildings around it being seperate from yet surrounding the church. So in essence, you are looking at one end of the church lengthwise and seeing the surrounding building that run parallel to it.

Okay, I give up; they're clearly connected/ the same building, but I don't care.

I don't think they're necessarily connected...

But what is this white structure you keep talking about, Dio? I see white clouds in which a spire towers, probably the main tower at the center of the 'cathedral'.

It is the structure circled in white

Can we at least agree on the fact that the original believer bases are a poor reflection of what is shown in their diplomacy landscape?

BUncle, since your writing seems to indictate you are frustrated, I would recommend stepping back from this project for a while. You do not need to be actively involved because Iam not going to stop or quit until this project gets finished. I realize that this project is not going to happen in a short amount of time but I will make sure that it gets done well and in a reasonable amount of time. So in short, while this will take time and you should expect some delays, you can be guaranteed that I will not quit or stop simply because I hit some hurdles along the way.

Absolutely.  I've never quite seen the reasoning behind the base design - I mean, yes, it's supposed to be some sort of weird space cathedral, but the church influence is poorly expressed.

[Dio]

How is this for a rough design of a size 1 conclave base?

[Buster's Uncle]

Hey, now that's an idea!  LOVE IT!

Just the roof.

[Dio]

A refined version of it. What do you think?

[Geo]

Cathedrals were rumoured to take a while to finish. How about the tower only partly done, or with a workers grid ln the top part for the size 1 bases?

How is this?
