_Not sure where this aught to go, but I just noticed in the clearer picture for the Stronghold, that one tower is in the process of collapsing. Would it be possible to mirror the contiguous tower on the right over the shattered one on the left?

Please send some screenshots that describe what you mean.

He means the card image http://arcomage.netvor.sk/img/cards/g21.jpg ... it's too low resolution to tell what's going on with the tower on the left.

Here is the original picture.

Given that the towers are at different angles, I don't feel that it would be a simple task to copy the intact one to replace the crumbling one. Doing so would require careful rotation, and unless someone had a copy of the image at a much, much, much higher resolution from which to start, the final image would show obvious signs of alteration. Also, adjusting the tower wouldn't change the fact that the foundation is on fire.

_You can't see the flaming city in the smaller cropped picture. And seeing the larger version, I can tell how it would be hard to do, as apparently a rotation is required instead of a mirror. Also, the towers look cylindrical in the low resolution picture...I think I can do it on the large version, but I never mastered the ability to keep a picture clear after resizing. I also noticed that instead of using the complete tower, one could also reconstruct the broken one, as there is enough "material" there to make it whole. Is there a specific format one uses to keep resized images clear?

Ah, I misunderstood and thought it was being used as a background picture. Since it's being used as a card graphic, yeah, it should be manageable as the resize will hide the alterations.

Do I do it?

If you're capable of it, I'd imagine that Mojko'd use your new image.

_I appear not to be, both of my attempts have ended up poorly, as every time I try to rotate anything, it becomes blurry. Two rotations and the windows vanish, another adjustment and the tower is more like the clouds around it. Perhaps tomorrow I will try rebuilding the tower 10x10 pixel boxes at a time, I have homework now, though.

If you guys are able to make a new picture for the Stronghold card I will gladly use it. Since my skills with graphical editors are limited, I would suggest to find a new picture perhaps?

_Of course, these would need editing too, or at least cropping. I also found that even when I switched to art sites, I didn't find anything of usable quality but photographs.

Stronghold now has new picture. I decided to change the current one, since it used partially the same image as card Swordsman. Don't forget to use F5 to load new image.

Now citadel gives 25 tower for 20 bricks while stronghold gives 30 tower for the same cost but it's rare.
I suggest to add "quarry +1" (or even "dungeon +1").
or simply make it "tower +35".

And i think that is overpowered as it is for 20 bricks you get 30 Tower which is OK for a rare but it also has Far sight not just any Far sight but a rare Far sight which means in a non hidden mode you get a HUGE bonus if the matching card is mixed recruits only or bricks only cost surely there is no reason to get Fortified castle over this one

I'd rather buff Fortified castle with +10 wall or -5B to cost.
Also, Far sight isn't so reliable while Fortified castle is guaranteed +70 castle for 40B.

+10 Wall to Fortified castle sounds reasonable
