Second tiny BAT from skazz. Due to its unusual shape, it's a unique but handsome landmark, it's called "Mausoleo di Teodorico" (Teodorico's Masoleum, that you can see in Ravenna), and originally contained the tomb where the king of Osthrogoths, who ruled over Italy between the fifth and the sixth century a.D., rested. (There's also a short legend about it, I'll write it down here). Again, it's not perfect, but accurate. I wasn't able to do the windows you see over the upper door on the original landmark (actually it wasn't so important here, but if someone could explain me how to make windows - holes - on a cylinder, it would be appreciated). There's no night lighting (it's just some kind of a tomb). DEscriptION: 1x1, plop cost: 25000§, monthly cost: 100§ DEPENDENCIES: None. LEGEND: (hope it's understandable) Once upon a time a fortune teller predicted Teodorico's death. According to the prophecy, the king would have been struck by lightning. So he ordered to build a safer structure where he could take refuge during thunderstorms. The Mausoleum was built, and to make it safer its dome was a giant monolith (+10 metres wide), where lightnings - they thought - couldn't pass. Unfortunately, during a storm, a lightning passed through it and killed Teodorico, leaving a crack on the dome that is still now visible (not in my BAT, though).<!--editpost--><br /><br /><br /><div><font class='editinfo'>此帖由 猪肉荣 在 2007-03-18 23:42 进行编辑...</font></div><!--editpost1-->
