This tileset is work in progress. I haven't finished all I've planned to make for it, but what I have made so far works and you can build with it.
Not all the water is linked to the animation nodes yet, so you might see some tiles with water that appears a bit darker.
Credits:
Bannor Bloodfist made the mini maps for this tileset.
The raised city terrain walls and some of the grass tiles are based on tiles from the TNO tileset by DLA.
I replaced two trees on the TNO tiles by trees made by Lord of Worms.
For the other trees I used the trees Helvene made for the rural tileset.
One ship is based on a model made by Brother Roth, the others are from the TNO tileset.
This hak contains doors, windows and placeables made for the Medieval City tileset. They don't have portraits yet. I will include those in a later update along with an erf file.
Last update (April 28th): Fixed the walkmeshes for the windows.
Last update (April 28th): Added roads ending next to cobble, raised cobble, raised grass next to water and leading up hills. Also made it possible to use the wall crosser between cobble terrain and raised cobble terrain and on grass terrain. The third addition are buildings without doors as requested by Fester Pot.

Hello, Zwerkules.
Pretty awesome tileset. :) I dare say, the most beautiful rural/city-themed one.
Due to NWN engine limitations (sadly, it's impossible to get two walkable points with the same z coordinate) it appears that there are some invisible obstacles (e. g. we have walkable high bridge and ground right under it seems to be clear).
And yeah, missing minimap pieces are a bit disturbing...
(I am not Fantil but I'll just point out that some reviewers/commenters won't vote their personal maximum for a self-described incomplete work: has nothing to do with the quality or reflection. Just thought I'd comment as it's been a bit of time since Fantil voted.)
Fantil, 9 is the lowest vote I got for this tileset, so I assume there's something you don't like about it or something I have to improve. Can you tell me what?

Nevermind, although I downloaded all the files together, I seemed to have managed to use an earlier hak. I don't recall ever downloading this set before. But, obviously I must have at some point. Mod opens fine now in SP and toolset. So disregard previous comments, except for the spectacular bit... that still stands. :)

I would like to have checked out the test module but it crashes in SP and got 'out of bounds' errors in the toolset in 2 of the first 3 areas (area 1 was ok). I didn't check any other areas. Did you possibly change any tiles in the last update? I'm not critiquing the test mod, lol. Just thought you should be aware of the issue. If something in the hak is different it could effect areas others may already have built with it.
What did get to see in the toolset, was quite spectacular.
An excellent work!
All the shops will be features for the building terrain and there'll only be one pub group. The other two will be features. One will be a building terrain corner tile.
Only one warehouse will be a group. The others will be features for building terrain and building terrain near water.
All the inns and temples will only be groups.

Hi Zwerkules,
This tileset is absolutely fantastic. I'm using it in my weekly DMed campaign. (I build new areas etc. each week and run a PnP-style game using the DM client for a recurring group.)
Very much looking forward to future updates - wheresoever you decide to place your focus. I did have one suggestion though:
You mentioned in one of your posts above that you might make extra groups/features for city buildings: pubs, shops, houses and so on. My suggestion is that perhaps at least some of these would come in the form of "facades" that fit onto the buildings terrain. To put it another way, rather than having a shop which is a 1x1 feature surrounded by cobble, it is a 1x1 feature surrounded on one side by cobble, and on the other three sides by building terrain. (Think the "Building Temple" feature in the default Bioware city, which is placed "onto" the edge of a building terrain.)
Once again, incredible work on this set, and I cannot wait to see what comes of it in the future!
Many thanks,
VS

Hello, Aequivalenz!
I won't add the buildings from the NWN2 houses tileset because they are from NWN2, DLA and Stilgar.
This tileset will only have tiles that are either based on Bioware tiles or completely made by myself.
There will be a castle terrain later which will either have a few tiles that can be used for a monastery or there'll be a separate monastery terrain. I had something like Tintern Abbey in mind.
Before I get to build that however, I still have to finish building terrain near water and the road crosser that will work as a docks crosser on water,
a viaduct crosser to have high 'bridges' between two hills or two castles on raised terrain and the castle terrain.
Once that it finished I might work on the monastery, though I might decide that more building groups like guild houses, temples, blacksmith's workshop, pubs, etc have priority.

Hi Zwerkules, will you add the buildings of your houses tileset here? I was looking to create a monastery with this tileset, cause I like battlement. Do you plan to add a buildingtype that could be used for this?
I am looking forward to taking time to learn how to build with this city tileset once you announce the alleys have been added.
FP!

This tileset is an inspiring piece of work. I love it!

Lovely work. I've been looking for a suitable city tileset, and this is the best I've seen yet!
Posting a bug and a few suggestions.
a. The new harbor crane tower is wonderful, but I've found that it causes massive lag on a map its placed on.
b. I'd love to see some real wooden docks to connect cobble and water.
c. More options/variants for raise/lower. One of the wonderful things about this tileset is that you've paid a lot of attention to the z element of the city, which makes it pop out that much more.
d. A "grand staircase", and variants of staircases. Ramps are well and good, but they look out of place.
Keep up the good work! Its tilesets like these that make this game look better than nwn2 and other newer games.

It's still work in progress, but it allready looks so awesome and it's a tileset, which enlargens the the world of NWN with an unique looking tileset. Event though not finished, it's in a quiet usable state. So it's a 10 for that. Please keep up your work (which ATM you do - great)!

Easily the most gorgeous city tileset ever. Can't wait to see what else you'll add to it. :)

In Area 002, a millwheel or a cascade (something like that) would fit better to the city waterfall. But nonetheless the functionality of this set is amazing.

Okay, sometimes the rounded doors don't fit, but the 10.00 was made for tilesets like this one. The Seasonal Forest for cities. One of the best 3 Tilesets ever made for NWN. Thank you Zwerkules for this.
