Hi everyone, i've decided to make not one, but two, eyecandy maps! Of fire and of water will be two different maps on the subject of the 3x3 eraser. I'm starting with of water and then doing of fire. You can check my progress below.
OF FIRE-testing ideas

OF WATER-Making streets and civilian houses

OF FIRE PICTURES:

Sacrificial pit:

Those woodcutters cut down all of our trees except for the ones next to devil's chasm! Blast them! They must now all burn! Like the trees!

Volcano:

Ach. The volcano is just starting to erupt again, blast it! We might have to move again in this firey land.

Devil's chasm:

This gash in the land must be a path to hell, always smoking and steaming and burning everything!

OF WATER PICTURES:

This is how i'm doing so far.

EDIT: Changed my mind, doing of water first.

This looks great, but the volcano, how do you make it like that the fire dont fade away from the hole of the volcano?

It lasts for about 20 minutes on 45, 10 on 90, and so on. You get a wooden gatehouse, erase the turrets, put a woodcutters hut in place of a turret, put pitch near the hut, light the pitch, and erase, not destroy, the gatehouse. I just had a good idea for water.

Exactly. And this is going to be like new orleans, below water level using a dam to control the water. There's a lighthouse, and bailers in boats. I'm using cremulated wooden walls for the outline of the first ship, which will be a trading ship. Also, i'm going to make a massive warship called the Achilles. I'll post a minimap when I get enough of the port done.

Here's what I have so far, the lighthouse (REALLY need some suggestions here), The trading ship(the stairs won't be there) and the first part of the Achilles.

Here's a picture of the bailers (not bailar, isn't spanish class)

EDIT:

I decided i'm making cutsom stairs, and I finished the port. Here's one out of 4 finished.

I've done so much since my last post! Here's 4 pics, of the port, the palace, the stockpile, and the temple.

Palace:

The rest in about 2 hours, I have to go right now.

Is that as high as you can get the lighthouse? Would it be possible to get perma-fire up there?

Hey guys, sorry for the delay, but my house was getting tented for termites. I'm currently making roads and civilian houses, hopefully will have screenies up tomorrow!

Hmm... Monkcrazy5, have you tried to do SimRPGplayer's method for erasing INSIDE buildings? That way, you can literally erase just the center of a square tower, and build inside it a perimeter tower on maximum terrain. You could create something like the lighthouse of alexandria...

Here is a link to a download of a tutorial I wrote on this trick: http://stronghold.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=4574

It's a finicky process, but it's certainly worth the effort!

It's a great guide up to when you have to delete the perimeter turret. Um...there is no perimeter turret...
