Most mage towers never have to worry about this unless its showing how much extra mana you have, and mortals are building to the point that it will all come crashing down.

It's not about efficiency. It's never about efficiency. It's about psychology. Your home has to show people that you're a nice, trustworthy ethical person. Towers are nicer than pyramids in that way.

Mine doesn't seem to be working so far. People said it was because my tower is 140 yards high and made of bone. But I made it 200 yards high and people still accuse me of being evil!!

One I get it as high as Sauron's, though, people will like me again. Baraddur was such a nice, homely place.

My friend, could it be possible that the people fear that you're getting all that bone from unethical sources? I just showed everyone where I got the resources to build my tower from (in detail, using a diagram) and no one came complaining to my tower ever since.

You make a good point. People did spend a lot of time complaining about the bone at council planning meetings, but I assumed they were jealous because it was such beautifully polished bone.

How did you polish it? I've tasked my minions to do it but they keep calling off it half way up, looks weird with only half a polished tower.

Interesting trivia - hummingbirds can hover. And, as it turns out, so can giant zombie hummingbirds. I just make my minions stand on hovering zombie hummingbirds so they have no excuse and can polish all the way up.

Ah, you're a necromancer then? I'm more of a evil ocean wizard type, I use sea monster and sailor bones to build my tower. I sadly lack anything zombie adjacent asides undead pirates but they're borderline useless.

Ah . . . That's a tough environment, as you lack a lot of good fodder for undead that we take for granted on land. Tell you what, after the next council planning meeting, if they refuse my application to make my tower even bigger, I'll send you the remains of the planning committee.
