Over the past few weeks, I've been working on a campaign called: The Tides of War. It is based upon two kingdoms from one of my stories. I've been translating my writing into visual pictures, quests, and more. I'd been looking for a new type of wall, and I'll tell you the story how.

Shot 6 (Attached) was originally going to be the wall. (I know, the terrain is not all done).

Then I began playing around with some of the doodads, and came up with a wall very similar to Braveheart's stockade walls.

Then I played around some more, and finale shot (though the terrain still isn't all done):

Hey... that's pretty cool. What doodad did you use? As for some crits, use more environment doodads, like around the base of the wall. Neat wall :D

As with all my maps, I prefer not to tell my secrets until release. (This dates back to my StarCraft days). However, if you message me on msn ([email protected]) I may hint to what I used.

Ah. Yeah I can understand that. I'm just very open with my maps, and I tell people how I did something right away. Maybe PM me with a hint?

EDIT nevermind. I'm using a barrel with the dimensions you gave. Works great. Thanks.
