A Dwarven stronghold just waiting for an invasion.
A prefab containing one exterior area and five interior.
I have kept this almost clutter free so you can change the feel of the area depending on the scenario.

Very nice job on this area. I am going to make a few adjustments, and use it for a Fire Giant/ Duegar area. Players should have a good time confronting this stronghold! _________________________ Quilistan

Really superbly made area. Use of textures was quite skilled, and attention to detail which is not seen in many prefabs. _________________________ Lan's Placeable Groups v1.5

I especially like the Dwarven merchants square and think this whole contribution is ideal for a dwarf specific adventure.

Your prefabs rock the house, this high vote is because I have used so many. This prefab is used in my new PW, twice! Once as you enter the tombs where the dwarvens armies are waiting to rise again, their home plagued by priests of darkness . . . finish the quest, and they flip to a 2nd set, all golden and pure . . and the evil part of the quest activates, and the evils online can go hunt good critters and switch it back again. Nice stuff. _________________________ Talernon3 - Age of Dragons Link

It's a shame this hasn't received more votes, it's quite epic. Well done! Makes me wish I still had the patience to produce whole areas! :D _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link

This is terrific! I'm captivated by the underground city. Finally a place dwarves can call home.

Massive scale castle which should be good for DM quests or sprawling battle scenes.

@Egan, just used the flatten brush with 0 falloff to do the heights in the keep area, the Flatten Under atleast what I have found it does is to put every terrain mesh vertex under the unrotated boundingbox of the object at it's lowest point so it's mostly unusable.

Wow! The exterior section in just beautiful. I've started pulling it apart to see how you did it! Was there heavy use of the 'flatten under' command involved or did you use a specific tool for all the different area heights? Either way it's obvious that a lot of time, effort and work (and probably a LOT of patience,) has gone into this!

GREAT work.. trully amazing, the exterior looks masive, and the interiors are very interesting. Congratulations, you have done a really nice work. _________________________

@Capulet, yep the interiors aren't the best. I ran out of ideas, but as you say a prefab is just a template or "coloring book" for module writers to fill in the blanks.
To all, one thing I forgot to mention in the read me.
The cave type pillars in the main barracks and in the wings are supposed to be collapsed when/if enemies have breached the walls. So you could do a script that spawns in some rubble after the player used somekind of tool on it or just a dialog.
When I get around to it I will do a version of the interior using the deep halls tileset and hope it works well with integration into your module/PW.

Looks great! I'm going to test it out.
Judging by the screenshots I reward you with a 8.5

I love it. Everything seems beautifully done. Even though the interiors arent the best, they're certainly useable. A prefab isnt something I plop in the mod, and hope it works well. It's lines for me to color in. I think it's done very well. Thank you. _________________________ -The Capulet

Thanks for the feedback.
@Kunikos, no I did not use the castle pack, untill the .2da files works in a less messy manner I will stay away from anything that requires modification of them.
@OMH, true the interior is a bit sparse couldn't really think of any theme to apply, other than a defensive layout hence all the doors:).
I also agree that a dwarf city&stronghold should be more grand perhaps I will redo that when/if tilesets get easier to use have looked at the Deep Halls and it is good but again the .2da mess.
Had hoped that the 3C package would be the solution unfortunately it seems that most the references are broken or that I am using it improperly. If you are using Deep Halls in your PW you can ofcourse replace the interior of the hold with it to add a bit more space.

Very nicely done. Thank you for submitting this work. I am not eagerly fond of the interior (especially the main and side wings) but I certainly like the lay out of the stronghold! It fits perfectly into my PW to use as a fall-out base which is being besieged by ennemies. It was very enjoyable to stand on those walls gazing into the distance. The houses inside were a funny sight, especially because of the size. My character was about as high as one floor hehe. Two minor things, in my opinion, as a dwarven stronghold I would use a lot more and more powerful lighting so that the hole interior gives you an impression of immensity. Secondly, it took me minutes to get through all those doors. You seem to love those doors.
Though I am very pleased and will definatelly use your castle's lay out, and get it ready to be stormed at.
That looks great! :) Did you use that castle-builder's pack to do it?

Those screenshots (inside and outside) look absolutely beautiful. Reminds me of something out of Lord of the Rings. I'll have to download it when I get home from work and give it a walktrhough. Great work.
