MOCs Inspired by Age of Empires
MOCs Inspired by Age of Empires
Back in October, Dragon Master started a discussion (in the Medieval Life forum) about Age of Empires III. That reminded of how much I enjoyed the previous version, so I got out my copy of Age of Kings. The graphics in that game are so great that I was inspired to make some of the buildings in LEGO. I spent most of Thanksgiving weekend building but I didn't get any photos made until now.

I think these are great! You have really captured the look and feel of the originals. Makes me want to start playing it again.Stephen wrote:Let me know what you think.

I've never played the game, but I really like these MOCs. Nice Tudor styling!

Hey Stephen,
Very nice all around. I particularly like the way you did the corners on the roof of the marketplace, and also the top part of the tower in the archery range.
Are you entering any of these MOCs in the CCC?

Great buildings! Very accurate to game. My favourites would have to be the market, and the archery range. Next you should build a wonder...

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm glad that you all enjoyed the buildings.

I was able to build them all at once, (the five of them use ALL the windows that I have!) but I didn't think to photograph them together. However, I did make a Town of smaller half timbered houses about two years ago.Did you have to tear down one to make the rest? because man - I would love to see them all together in a town layout!

Thanks! The doors are the regular round top castle doors, but I squared off the frame to make them look rectangular. The door on the ground floor actually overlaps the the door on the second floor by quite a bit, so the top one can't open.I really like the second floor entry with the pulley on the blacksmith shop.

Even though I've never played AoE these mocs have a very realistic look.
Good work Stephen

Wow, great job! They really look like Lego-ized AOE buildings. Now you just need to make the:
Castle
University
Church/Mosque/Temple
Tower
3 varieties of Houses
Gates & Walls
