CloseHello,
I've been using the RTP to make my game, but now I'm at a loss. See I need to make a tower from the outside and this is where the RTP fails me.
The best I can come up with is use the Facade tileset and then make a square tower consisting of mostly only the brick wall tile.
It looks extremely dull and I'm not really satisfied with it. So I guess the question is, is there a way to make a more decorated tower from the outside with the RTP?

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

The RTP is definitely not designed for scaling the outside of a tower. You can probably improvise some crap using castle tiles and making numerous ledges and such, but my recommendation would be to import some extra tilesets.
If you want a tower to look good, basically it's going to look really irregular. Take a look at the submissions for this mapping contest. Click the "Show" button near the bottom of the original post to show all the maps. Some of them are towers and some are not, and this isn't actually the RTP, but hopefully you nevertheless get some inspiration on different ways you can use the various types of tiles to make tall multi-story buildings. Any of the ones that extend past the top of the screen are theoretically towers, after all.

Well that's the point I can't have one map in my game in a completely different style then the rest of the game. Isn't there something that fits in with the RTP?

Well, use the RTP then. Whatever. You can still use it in the same way that some of those maps used those other tiles, assuming the RTP has walls and floors and windows and banners and statues and maybe pillars.
A) Which RTP are you using. (Also, which tile for the outer map?)
B) I'll see if I can find chips that go with it.

The Rm2k RTP, Facade tileset, and the grayish brick tiles that you normally use for a castle.
Thanks I appreciate that.
