If landmarks were movable then newspawns would steal them like notes. If they were made movable, I think they should weigh over 15 kilos so that people can drag them but not pick them up. Figurines and statuettes would be nice though. If they could be made from all carve-able materials, that would give us a creative use for bones and an easy way to produce solid art.

I'd honestly like to see more art objects, but I'd have no idea how they could be implemented. Now, people use landmark descriptions for sculpture. Maybe you could have a drop down on the landmark project page, designating what it is? (Statue, sign, gravestone, etc). Then, the text description would be as normal, but it would say it's a statue specifically, instead of just a landmark.

Another, probably separate suggestion would be to make landmark descriptions a mouse-over event, so the screen isn't cluttered with landmark descriptions.

I was about to suggest this...building rooms just to add tablets/signs in a building is awkward and expensive.

I'd like to bump this again.

I'd understand if we needed separate objects to make sure these could only be built in buildings and not vehicles, but I think this could help add some depth to Cantr culture for not much outlay. Thoughts?

EDIT: And has already been accepted here. So maybe more suggestions for types of landmarks?

Anything -else-, Alf. We've added jade to the list already.

Side note, jade urns could be a storage item like amphora.

Bronze, gold.
Maybe a diamond/gem encrusted landmark? (rubies, emeralds, sapphires)

Mudbrick landmarks could be added for outdoors.
