Not bad. I'd suggest adding a few black vertical lines on the top part of the half-finished tower, as to represent the skeleton of the upper part of the tower.

And I think, with your first attempt (full cathedral) and an extra side structure you already have your second-size base.  :)

Rough size 2 conclave base. I will definitely add the skeleton to the tower. What do you think?

Just my thoughts, but I'd start using big side structures only at the third stage.
Can you make the roofs look more like tilted rooftops instead of a flat slab?

Here is an updated version of the size 2 base. I do not currently know how to make a pointed roof :(.

Diagnol line with the pixels, and shading it/colouring it a darker colour/shade of colour to indicate 3 dimension or a sloped surface.

I do not like making pointy objects in such a perspective....

Rough size three conclave base. Almost there to size 4!  ;excite;. I think these bases really do inspire a feeling of awe. Does anyone have suggestions or comments on it?
 P.S.: I realize that the side building has a flat roof and I will make it pointed in  a upcoming revision. I simply wanted to get this version out.

It's... passable...

Nah, just kiddin'. Looks great, and will even be better with the adjusted roof.  ;)

Updated conclave bases sizes 1-3. I am currently working on size 4! :danc: What do you some people other than *Geo think? I just would a wider sample of opinions.
*No offense intended to Geo and I would like to thank him for his feed back so far and hopefully in the near future.

I think it shows promise -that stage three is gettin' to be stylin'- be careful to not end with the same colors as the Moran bases, though.

Size four without attached side structure, so far what do you think?

Revised version of size 1 base conclave base. Do you like it more or less than the previous version?

Nice.  You're definitely going in a good direction.

Conclave base preview! Yeah! So far so good. Everything fits inside the tachyon field for each level barely :relief:.

If most people like the bases, then tomorrow I will get on coloring and shading them properly. After that, I plan to add base defenses and then put in the water versions.
