We were just chatting on GL and realized there's no list of default house names anywhere.

It is slightly irrelevant because you can simply rename them afterwards, but i went and planned a few structures and compiled a bit of a list.

I would love for this information to be moved on the wiki if at all possible.

If I've missed any please just post them with what dimensions it took to make.

I'm assuming that stronghold comes after estate, as estate is the largest I can build.

(edit: thanks to wulfgar for finding the minimum for stronghold)

Finally, if you're clever enough to figure out the formula for calculating the names, that'd be fantastic (i think its floor+walls but i couldn't be certain). And if you posted it here, you'll probably get a credit on the wiki for it yay!

Shed 1x1 OR 1x2

Shack 1x3 (line and L)

Cottage 2x2 OR 4x1

House 3x2

Villa (3x2 + 1 or 2 tile) OR 3x3

Mansion 3x4 (3x5 OR 3x6)

Estate 3x7

5x5 = Estate

6x5 = Estate

7x7 = Stronghold

6x6 = Stronghold

6x5+1 = Stronghold

So Estate is up to 30 tiles, Stronghold starts at 31 tiles.

I actually believe from my experience it is based on total tiles, not dimensions.

I would have to agree, which is why I was listing things like "L" shaped plans.

But to clarify the definition, dimension dictates tile count in any rectangle. Ergo I was documenting total tiles as well. :D

I'm certain I've seen a last house title, Castle. Confirm/Deny?

8x8-1 (only 95 carp here) is still a Stronghold, so someone else will have to confirm or deny that.

So it's by floor tiles, or carp required [i.e. floor and wall tiles]?

To test that, a 6x1 is 20 carp and should be a house by floor tiles, but a villa by carp requirement [3x2+1 = 19 carp].

Actually, sod it, I'll go and test it now.

Edit: a 6x1 is a house, so it's done by floor tiles.

Huh. That mean's I've built a stronghold but didn't notice because I changed the writ name too fast :)

So juding by the above:

Floor tiles - Name

1-2 --------- Shed.

3 ------------ Shack.

4 ------------ Cottage.

5 ------------ Cottage or House? (I'm going for... House...)

6 ------------ House.

7-9 --------- Villa.

10-11 ------ Villa or Mansion? (I'm guessing 10 is Villa and 11 is Mansion)

12-18 ------ Mansion.

18-20 ------ Mansion or Estate? (I'm guessing Mansion)

21-30 ------ Estate.

31+ --------- Stronghold.
