How bout building a viking town ? 
1 Like
I would love to build a viking town! the only bit which is letting me down is the roof. It seems to be the thing that really makes them unique
Edit: I have also started with a very basic dock

so any tips on improving it would be great 
Been experimenting with the roofs on Stonehearth and it seems it could technically be possible to great a roof much like the Viking ones however it can’t be done just yet as im finding it very hard to create separate roofs for each part of the building.
Hopefully they will amend the roof rules so i can create a separate roof for each extension off the main building as this would then allow me to great a very Viking looking building
As it appears currently if i have the main building like i have already and then manage to add a room which is the width of 7 onto the side and add a roof which only slants in one direction this would then link up with the original room looking very close to one long roof which comes down 2 levels making it look like a Viking Building
Edit: I started another map but this time i have drawing the roof myself in hopes of making it look good here is my design so far
Progress!!

Success!!!
I will add further pictures below once i have constructed this building and added all the stuff to it
Inside will be like my original one i think with the fires and tables
The Stock Area: This is the second floor of the Great Hall
View from the Yarl’s Table
Lay out so far:

It has all failed and turned to dust 
Hours wasted
To try to get the roof i want i have to make it myself as u can see from the pictures… this means that when i change to view to remove the roof it doesnt leave as it not classed as a roof
Edit:
All is not lost… i have used the upstairs for crates instead this way they are hidden aswell to keep the place tidy. i have also started using the rooms for the trades such as carpenter and mason.

If you haven’t already found a solution to seing the inside I would suggest:
House with only one floor:
Split the roof in two parts.
Build one first and then the other.
Then use the slice tool to eliminate the upper part and be able to see the ground floor.
To eliminate the walls/roof completely and only see the floors double click on the house icon to the lower right of the screen.
Convine both tools to have different views.
House with more that one floor, ie: ground and 1st floors (2 floors)
Split that roof in three.
Treat those roof parts as it if were the walls of each floor and build one floor at a time.
Hope this helps. Have Fun, Kyth.
