The Shabby Hyena Weirdo was poked with a stick and thus made these Placeables for the Rhine:NWN PW, set in 3rd Century AD Germany under Roman rule. An attempt to recreate the ancient Roman town of Colonia Ulpia Traiana at the Xanten archaeological site apparently required Walls, Towers and Gates and things to keep the filthy, unwashed, illiterate barbarian hordes out of the town. Also keeps unwashed, illiterate stray goats out of your town too. Unless you put up the walls with the goats on the inside, of course.
Anyway, working from images of the restorations of the defensive structures at Xanten, PHoD carefully and scientifically drew up plans with the aid of his historian mother and archaeologically accurate diagrams in order to then hit the whole lot with Big Bricks! And hit stuff with Big Bricks some more! The result of this rabid application of Big Bricks to everything in sight has resulted in these replica Roman structures which are the most accurate replicas of Ulpia - Xanten's defensive structures ever created for NWN. At least, I make that claim on the assumption that NO other such replicas have ever been made or nobody'd have bothered asking me to do some... Perusal of images of the Xanten Roman Ruins will show you that they are at least moderately similar, in the broad details.
What you get in this Hak:- Blobs... with Bits On.
What you Get in this Hak:- Apparently, so Fifi informs me, "Blobs" isn't very informative. So, you get one large and overstated Gatehouse, moderately high poly so don't go putting one every inch along the walls, hm? You also get two Towers, one with a walkable archway, for minor town access routes, and one solid Tower for, well, just being a Tower, really. And for concealing the otherwise hideous gaps between Wall sections. You get two Wall sections, one long and one short. Towers and Walls are fairly simply models and so you can place millions of the gits without worrying too much. Except worrying where the rest of the town's supposed to go once you've plastered the entire Area with futile Towers and Walls.
You do NOT get an enormous Inflatable Rubber Emperor Trajan Blimp which you can therefore NOT have floating above your Roman town in order to completely and utterly nullify its so-called historical accuracy.
Batteries not included. Nor are Unwashed Barbarian Ostrogoths, Visigoths or any other kind of Goths... Or Ostrogoats, Visigoats or any other kind of Goats. Unwashed or otherwise.
Sort of Update:- Added an Optional Texture Override for some of the textures in the PHoD Ancient Greece Hak. (Link Below). This replaces the specifically and definitively Greek trim textures with more generic Greco-Roman designs so that the buildings can be used in Roman Modules. (See last two screenshots above, first with standard Greek textures, second with the Override versions).

Thank you so much for sharing this work with the community.
Absolutely stunning.
The placeables that is, not the absent Goths and goats, though I've heard that a Goth with an oversized club can be quite stunning!
Imperius Rex, great work as usual!
Very nice! I hope to use these some day. Also interested if you have anyother period piece stuff.
Just click on Projects above and then Neverwinter Nights. Finally type PHOD in the search box and you'll get this list of his shabbiness'es works.
