It's a feature of ES, to prevent the elevated paths from obscuring your view too much.

I invented a new kind of wall. First make an elevated path as low as possible. Than put a second floor two space higher above it. Then make a third floor two spaces higher than the last. Last you must make the walls high to make the wall. Then simply cover the top with more elevated path.

Looks cool! It reminds me of a soccer stadium from the inside.

@penguino, yes, I finally figured out how to make elevated path look 'almost invisible'.

Cool - with a little adjustment you could make it like a stadium - adjust the walls on one side...
I was thinking for MM2 with show stands on every level

Wow im glad you all like the idea, and feel free to copy me. There could also be good in small zoo so you could have a food court over an exhibit. When AA comes out im going to make a massive house with crocodiles the tortoises nile monter kermodo dragon, live lizards and the keiosks. This will be good when MM comes out so we can build the standard indoor sealife center type aquearium.

Wow, you guys are really stretching the imagination!
I love the creativity! Thanks for sharing this idea!

Really good work there, Lamna. Love it! Its nice to see folks doing stuff like this, to stop the game from being - I won't say boring - but maybe a bit 'samey'.

africanwilddog · « **Reply #32 on:** May 15, 2006, 11:53:04 AM »

Now I must have both AA and ES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another Idea - Maybe we could use this idea for Nocturnal Houses! Aardvark, Caracal, Black Panther, DL Leopards, they'd all do well in one.

Okay, crazy idea - Elephant Houses!

You could even use this as a shelter. Like make a big exhibit, and then in one corner make this but small. That way they could have food and water and grass in their shelter too.

All these reptile houses look great! What a fun idea! Thanks everyone for putting up pics of your houses.

lamna · « **Reply #34 on:** May 15, 2006, 01:39:56 PM »

Ive tryed to use this for indoor shelter but the dome shape created problems, panda11 has solved them. though i did build a rhino house before with jarvans on one side and blacks on the other.

with AA we can make meerkat houes!

Alpha Dilophosaur · « **Reply #37 on:** May 15, 2006, 04:17:30 PM »

It would be cool if someone could make a high wall (That reaches as high as the lowest elevated path height). Then you could make it look like a flat walled building, instead of one with sloped sides.

Megaraptor · « **Reply #38 on:** May 15, 2006, 04:18:37 PM »

That would be awesome.

Alpha Dilophosaur · « **Reply #39 on:** May 15, 2006, 04:22:50 PM »

I havent tried the reptile idea yet, but it looks cool! And it'll be really cool to add the small animals from AA.

Maybe a good ZT2 creator can take on this challenge.

Wait, would it even be possible to do this?

Panda King · « **Reply #41 on:** May 15, 2006, 05:56:23 PM »

As a possible step six, put foliage around the four corners, totally blocking it fom the outside.

conservationkid · « **Reply #42 on:** May 15, 2006, 06:00:44 PM »

this idea sounds like something that we can toy around with for a very long time :giraffe1:

Tiger88 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 15, 2006, 06:29:36 PM »

Would it not be possible too just resize the fences?

That would be awesome:cool:

lamna · « **Reply #44 on:** May 16, 2006, 07:44:57 AM »

Xenomorph made some for his sadly unfinsed king kong pack. he also made a guide on how to resize fences i think.

lilpuppie_b-wizzie · « **Reply #45 on:** May 16, 2006, 02:23:23 PM »

i made one of the reptile houses and then i realized tht my guests wer hungry so i made a food court on top of the reptile house so they view the animals and then if they get hungry they walk up the elivated path and vala they can eat

Alpha Raptor · « **Reply #46 on:** May 20, 2006, 09:35:48 AM »

So now we have:
Nile Crocodile
Komodo Dragon
Galapagos Giant Tortoise
African Spurred Tortoise
Nile Monitor
Live Prey Lizards (small exhibit

)
Reptile Hpuse "Stand"

This is turning into a very respectable Reptile House!

Someone need to make higher fences but I heard there are some problems with doing that though.
