As a game designer I have to say that this was really impressive, I love the meaning behind every composition choice and the small details of environmental storytelling you placed to give its own identity. Bravo
-
I honestly think Iron Gate could do wonders for the game if they had people like Smitty come in and build stuff like this as a template. The houses and little keeps/docks you find are neat but this would be epic to raid in the vanilla game!
-
This has to be the best mistlands build ever! I hope Iron Gate sees it and gives it the attention it deserves. You have such a talent for decorating without it feeling cluttered or chaotic beyond the normal clutter of a working space. Keeping the variety of colors to a minimum keeps it feeling serene and more like a true dwarven build and less like a 'disneyland'. I could never replicate this in a million years, so you'll just have to come and build something like it for me. :)
-
Monstrous build! You made use of every part of that mountain without overdoing it and losing the mountain in the process, drowning it in marble. I love the HEIGHT you achieved in the structures without making it feel square and boxed. The cinematic was a pleasant surprise with the added NPCs as the world of Valheim feels all to empty sometimes, especially with larger constructions.
-
One of the best builds I have ever seen, and definitely the best ever using marble. The great stairway reminds me of the stairs leading to Cirith Ungol in LotRO, and the build certainly has Moria vibes, better than anything 'dwarven' yet. Adding the Dverger was a great idea. I wish they would give us vines in vanilla, they complete builds so much :(
-
20:36 has to be the most stunning transition. From the crates to the small pools of water, the bridges and the smoke from the forges clouding the air. Amazing.

I never comment on youtube videos but I had to for this. Your attention to detail, cinematography, music, and just overall care put into this build/video was incredible. It felt like a movie and was all around amazing to watch. Great work!
-
As someone who's also been trying my hand at making video showcases of some of my builds recently, I can really appreciate the time and effort you must have spent on this one. Not just on the build itself (it looks like you're probably a rather quick builder compared to me), but on the planning of the video, the setup of the in game camera and video captures, the final video editing + voice overs, and the awesome cinematic at the end with the spawned Dvergrs. Another phenomenal build, Smitty!

Iron Gate needs to hire this guy for more scenes and cenematic design.
-
What a MASTERPIECE! One of the coolest builds I've ever seen! That cinematic was just mesmerizing to watch.
-
Love the verticality and adding the Dvergers as decorations makes it dynamic.
-
For me, the best thing in this game was always the building part. Seeing that tremendous amount of effort and thought put into one work made me drop my jaws, what you do is amazing! It would be so nice to see these structures in the game, I hope Iron Gate realizes that builds like this create a whole new atmosphere for the game!
-
Without a doubt one of my favorite builds of all time, well done mate. 10/10!
-
Thank you for narrating this amazing build. I love hearing your thoughts on design, and how you solved problems. It really brings the creativity to life. Just wonderful. Well done.
-
Absolutely gorgeous! Your visions and creativity are just a joy to take in.
-
The most impressive build I've ever seen! Beyond any builds so far and definitely better than MINE! :face-green-smiling: You are a true Viking, Smitty!
-
I'm speechless. Really fantastic! I was already blown away by your Plains Castle, but this tops it even more. Nice Work!!!
-
Builds like this are why I have hundreds of hours in Valheim. Amazing job!
-
I'm truly impressed by this build, as it brilliantly showcases the immense potential of Valheim.
-
Wow dude, what an undertaking. Thanks for the in-depth tour and beautiful cinematic at the end!
