What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.
Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to [email protected]
Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to [email protected]

That's all beautiful and all, but it being at a weird angle to the walls makes my teeth hurt.
It's even worse if you look at the satellite picture. The castle is not even centered in the outside perimeter walls and the outside walls aren't square. Someone hired the medieval equivalent of a shitty contractor.
Symmetry and aesthetic spacing were not on their list at all
I'd be ok with it being off-center, I could add like a backyard lounge/skeet feature to balance it out. but THE FUCKIN DRIVEWAY IS SIDEWAYS! Makes me so irrationally angry lmao probably took them like 5 years to and 7 serfs lives to build it too. I'd be so embarrassed in front of all my other royal friends.
They forgot to press ctrl to align it with the world grid
Yeah, that’s immediately jarring
Same
I'd wake up every morning so mildly irritated if I lived there. Like sure, I'm living in a beautiful French chateau, but is it all worth 14°?!!!! The fuckin MESH WIFI doesn't go through stone!!
