Its an 18x18 and should all be doable in the house customizing thingy...

Title: Third/Fourth Floor of the new Barracks!

So I kinda raced through the whole thing now, but still think it looks rather nice. Most of this is as I said possible on a production shard with the house customizing...

Hands off the barracks foo'!

If it was good enough in '06 it is good enough for you know.. *folds arms*  8)

Also did we not change it once or twice and then it got mysteriously blown up and remade?

Exterior is redone with a training area. Interior slightly changed..

I am liking it!

The stairs could be hard to make. I love the first level with the sleeping quarters!

The vault room could be the same as the existing resource room. The kitchen is quite big. Perhaps the healing room could be the resource room and your vault room become the kitchen, your current kitchen could be the grand hall, a seating area for meals.

From memory, the current Barrack design has been that way at least since 2005, though as Shadwell mentiones, it was redesigned for a time before being reverted.  I think the barracks should stay as it is, it's an intrinsic part of Cove and has been for as a long as I can remember. 

Though the new design does look good.

I like the design, but I'm also too in love with the old-skool design :P

Indeed, we've changed the barracks design once or twice before.. But we always end up pining for the old skool design.

Having said that, this design isn't too shabby. Although it does seem to lack a communal 'hanging out' area.

I also believe changing is a bad idea, perhaps certain areas need to be changed.

I like the idea of this thread it might lead to other ideas, ye work is not wasted.

Well, if you are going to use the house builder tool - at least make sure you use house tiles that can  be used by the house customising tool! I see tons of thins there that can't be done :(

Only thing not possible is the decoration, everything else I used is possible ingame. Excluding the blue carpet.

There is a task to decorate the barracks, perhaps we just need new areas such as a bedroom, kitchen and great hall?
