two questions ; how to make doors and more lightsources?

[Patat Crunch]

hi, love the game so far but i was wondering how to add doors in the game? especially if i wanna build in the height and wanna add doors in to add a feeling that the ''guards'' can walk the stairs to guard the walls . ( in my fantasy that's what would happen) <3

second question, is there a possibility in the future to have more lightsources ? like for example through the windows or a open door (if a door can be made open.)

If there is a path or a ground, choose a window and hold it to the bottom of the wall close to the path or ground and the window will turn into a door. Or you draw a path and let it end at a building, then a door appears automatically. Hope this helps. :-)

You can even make hatches by using windows on flat towers

You can also make doors if you have a building and the (flat!) roof of another building directly attached to it. Pick the window tool which you preffer, and place the window at the same hight as the roof of the attached building. The window will then become a door. You can make it wider by placing 2 or 3 next to eachother. First step is a wider door, 3rd step is a double door. If you build a square building and right click on it, you can fine tune it with the tools shown (easier when buildings are close to eachother). Make a flat roof and as long and narrow as possible and you'll have your wall. It's wide enough to make a door with an attached tower or building as long as it's higher then the wall.

Hope this helps a little, and have fun building the castle/city walls! :-)

As for the light sources, I don't know. I have not tried much with that, only placed some lanterns and not much else. My guess is that it will get expanded upon eventually if the devs can keep the same pace as during the closed beta and demo.

This won't necessarily work in every scenario but if you build a building, damage one of the walls with the demolish tool and then build another smaller building inside it, aligning it so the smaller building replaces the damaged wall, then put lanterns on the smaller building, the light will reflect off the smaller building out of the windows because the windows will be broken.
As a bonus, paths will make archways in buildings rather than doors if one of the walls is damaged with the demolish tool. With some very careful work you can make it look like there is an open door there. just put a tiny building at a diagonal next to the archway and put a door in it. I just happened to build the door on the wrong side so the handle's in the wrong place.

To create doors on an elevated floor:
1 Place a building next to a taller tower(or another building),
2.Drag the top down to flat the roof.
3.After you see a flat rooftop, stretch the to join two building together, this will give you an elevated floor.
4.Place a window on the taller building, at the joint of the two buildings, this will give you a door, allowing guards to go from one tower to another.

You can create tower walls, patios, and bridges using this technique.
