Messing about with the magic eraser, i erased the main building of the wooden barracks.doing so i erased the training ground and just left with the building.But with using the magic eraser it glitched and left a 3x3 empty space leaving part of the building transparent. Anyway messing about i place a boulder in its spot and raised the ground and i got an effect which could look like a mine...

It's a bit rough round the edges as i was only playing with it, But if any want wants me to post a quick tut on it i will happily, and i'm sure you great map creators will be able to tidy up the effect up and make it look awesome

That's cool. Even after all these years, we're still finding hidden designs.

I like it, that's a new interesting mine entrance

A short tutorial would be great, it will be included in the Turorials List :P

Quick tutorial on the mine ..

Then with some little editing you can make it look very appealing, please bare in my i threw this together very quickly

If images arnt clear or if any of it wasn't clear please post a reply, Quick note also; You can build many of these as you like due to that the magic eraser technically removes the barracks from the map, allowing you to still place a barracks, Thanks

That looks like a nice concise picture of how to do it. And it is a very clever use of the magic eraser

I like your waterfall in that last screenie too

I have experimented with this a little and found that you can remove the awkward side of the barracks by utilizing a second gate like the following:

1. Construct the gates like so:

2. Then, delete the towers and place a stone tower over the wooden walls:

3. Delete the gate positioned as Rh0dZi said first, otherwise the training ground would remain:

4. Delete the next gate, and the remaining 2x5 will show up.

It shows up just the same as with the side. However, as cliffs and hills will be covering the "mine entrance" up, these steps should not be necessary.

I see that this might make it even more neat though

Hey, that looks very cool

I wonder what other buildings would be suitable for similar eye-candy.
