Blocks and Basics
Many blocks comes with this house; doors, windows, walls floor with and without ceilings and roof pieces. There's even round towers to add to give that big castle feel . 250/250 If you go over the 250 it will start to go into your decorating space count. This is so much fun , if your ever used building blocks your gonna have a blast! I can tell you I can spend hours playing with castle blocks.
Much like decorating your Wizard101 house you can use the scroll or the arrows to place your blocks, If you have the auto select next block on , your blocks will go down one right after another until your out of that type of block.
I use this when laying down the floor plan (shown in image above) Now when placing stairs I would leave a cut out as stair need to be lifted up ,by placing a single floor tile for it to sit on. This is so that it fits next level floor flush. You can make so many amazing castles. Just take it down and start over.
Walls go up just as easy. Start at one end and place all the way around your floor plan, don't forget to add windows or doors, after all you need to be able to get inside your castle. Walls for the next level sit flush right on top of the one below.
Roof pieces come in slants, corners, flats and peaks , oh and there's even a round one for round towers. I found when I'm ready to build the roof it's best to set the first pieces and stand on it so you can keep building . I had allot of trial and error building ,though I was so happy with the finished product.
wow reminds me of wolfenstein on old Windows 95 pc's
ReplyDeleteIt looks so complicated but I am loving it. :D
ReplyDeleteNot complicated at all. Once you get use to the main tools it goes really fast.
DeleteNice but i dont understand 1 thing that i have to buy 3 giftcard or not
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to buy 3 if you don't want to Midday estate comes with plenty to create.
DeleteHow limited would you say this bundle is? I mean, I understand they don't want to cause any people to exploit the game, but can we build a pretty big castle with many variations or is this going to be some small SimCity 5 block where we're very limited with few options to build, and a small space?
ReplyDeleteOh my yes I have built many types and even villages. The Midday estate comes with 500+ blocks , you have 250 block bonus count and 250 decor count. If you go over the 250 block count it does go into your decor count
DeleteYou can even use these blocks in other houses but they don count as decor space.
This isn't a build your own castle bundle as advertised. It's a rearrange the castle given bundle. Not liking it.
ReplyDeleteYou can take down the castle and completely build another one.
Deletei would like to see one fully decorated. with the walls and floors done of course. the block thing does nothing for me haha
ReplyDeleteWallpaper and flooring's are not working at this time. to my understanding they will be adding new textures blocks , ect...
Deletei would really like to see a fully decorated one..hense i think the floors and walls need to be covered lol. i really do not like the block look. but other wise i like the concept. :)
ReplyDeleteYou can place wall hangings on walls
Deletecan you use castle blocks if you don't have the bundle
ReplyDeleteYes. you can now craft them check out the vender in shopping district by the fountain
DeleteThese blocks are way too much fun! I've been collecting a bunch of them from the bazaar. I like seeing how each piece works before buying the recipe; I've only had to craft the no-auction ones so far. Do you know if there are any pieces in the bundles that are different from the crafted/crowns shop items?
ReplyDeleteActually Tara I believe you can craft all blocks that come with bundles . You can even craft some that don't. The ones that were new to me are the Large wall, 4 walled square, and the peaked & inside roof pieces
DeleteHi. I've only been playing for less than a week (at level 13 currently). I love taking the castle tours. I want to build my own, but I'm afraid to buy bundles or spend crowns on castle building because I'm worried I'm too a low of a level and it won't let me do it. Can you please tell me if I'm able to build a castle now at level 13? And if not, at what level can I start? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteIf you purchase a bundle your able to start building right away. If you want to buy a in-game house from housing venders I believe you need to be level 15. You can buy ones from crowned shop for gold or crowns.
DeleteAwesome thanks :) Just hit level 15 today!
