Greek Buildings v2.0

Difficulty: High | Medium | Low Estimated Completion Time: 2 Months

---

This task is for modeling and mapping version 2.0 of the Greek buildings/structures.

The structure list is below, divided by type:

Note: Polygon counts do not include props (like jars, baskets, crates, etc.), which can cost extra. Try to make these numbers your upper limit for the structure. Optimize optimize optimize.

Civic

• Civic Centre [like a "town center" or "command center" in other games - this is the heart of the player's city] ~2000 tris
• Temple or priests are trained here. Also units within this building's line of sight regenerate health ~ 1000 tris
• House [each one of these adds +5 to the player's population cap. we should have as many variants as possible] ~ 500 tris

Defense

• Scout Tower [an "outpost" that grants line of sight (los) to an area of the map] ~ 500 tris
• Wall Segments [short, medium, and long - units can be garrisoned atop the city walls for defense]
• Wall Gate ~ 1000 tris
• Wall Tower [units can be garrisoned atop these towers for defensive purposes] ~ 150-300 tris

Econ

• Farmstead [like a "granary" or farm house - this allows the gathering of food within its los] ~ 750 tris
• Market [trains Traders, researches economic improvements, and facilitates bartering] ~ 2000 tris
• Mill [a dropsite for wood, stone, and metal] ~ 750 tris

Military

• Barracks [where most units are trained and where military improvements are researched] ~ 1000 tris
• Dock [the shipyard where ships are built] ~ 1000 tris
• Fortress [a big and strong stone fort where siege engines can be built. Most other factions train heroes and super units here as well, but not the Greeks (see below)] ~1500 tris

Special [these buildings are unique to the Greeks only]

• Gymnasion [where Super Units are trained] ~1200 tris
• Tholos [where Heroes are trained] ~ 1200 tris
• Theatron [a large theater which grants the "Hellenisation" bonus] ~ 2500 tris (will prolly just have you tweak this one, as it's already pretty good)
