[HD] Fortress on Shore [320k+ Assets / 500+ hours / Largest custom Talespire Board ever]
Board
After almost one and a half years of work and over 500 hours just on this map in Talespire, the map that burns your PC is finally complete. Everything on this map is highly detailed and custom-made. It’s what I think is the largest map by asset count (>320.000 Assets and Props) and has a size of 173 x 164 Tiles.
The fortress has everything you need for your session. You should easily be able to play entire one-shots on it This map includes:
- Tavern x2
- Bakery
- Bank
- Brewery
- Farm x2
- Watermill
- Butcher
- Windmill
- Keep/Palace
- Church
- Smithy
- Multiple Shops
- Arena x2
- Theater
- School
- Orphanage
- Brothel
- Guilds x2
- Quarry
- Construction Site
- Lighthouse
- Cave
- Forest
- Barracks
- Stonemason
- Lumberjack
- Market
- A multitude of Towers and Defence Buildings
- Appartments/Houses x10
- Quite a lot of ruins

I hope you enjoy the work. Leave any feedback in the comments. Should I expand it? Do you want part of it as slabs? What do you like most?
Thanks to the entire community, I took inspiration from way too many builds to list here. And on top I want to thank PsiaBaba, istallri Astra, detoria, Gajia for the following boards used (Some with major reworks) in this build:

Update 1.1: Added new Props from all updates up until Bugbear Update to keep the map up to modern standards.
If you play on this map on stream. pls dm link or share in comments. i wanna watch 🙂
i hope that I am one of the first to share how impressive this board is. Great work! The organic smooth diagonals and the overgrown semi-collapsed look of the castle is incredible, and 500 hours seems right for that level of hand built smooth lines. Wow.
Amazing!
This may be my favorite completely impractical board. =) It’s definitely a work of art!
Absolutely stunning! Love the layout and all the nooks and crannies you could get absolutely lost in 🙂
Absolutely beautiful work here. I know it took a long time given all of the details in the buildings, the intricate time taken on the stone paths to have them appear smooth and close to similar elevations, the realistic growths on the edges of buildings and the intricate details used in even the construction equipment with the pulley systems. By far one of the best boards I have ever seen.
Super impressed.
Very awesome, I cannot get enough of those trees. Seriously, they are enchanting; Great job!
An Extremely awesome build,,,congrats just seen it,,,,what more could a adventuring group want,,,,brilliant
I think I have you beat in the asset count, I pushed TaleSpire to the literal limit at 1 Million assets, but mine was all procedural. This is an impressive amount of work.
So much detail! Nice job and impressive dedication!
So you’re saying he could have made it three times as big?!
I have a RTX2080 and it’s not running smooth anymore. So not really. Baldrax probably made a huge map, so not all of it is loaded at one time. This map is so dense that all assets are loaded in at all times. It kinda is pushing the limit.
We should start a fundraiser to buy you a 4090 😉 I’d kick in a hundred bucks.
I LOV ET great job really.
Would love to use this map for a one shot but I’m struggling to figure out what buildings are what do you have anyway that could help me tell?
goodbye fps, jokes aside amazing map
Impressive.
Brand new to TaleSpire. Watching videos (Istallri Astra), reading everything on Tales Tavern, and practicing using TS interface with keyboard and mouse, all before I start building.
I have a good understanding of computer hardware but I am no tech. As I am practicing in TS, I was curious if there would be limitations with my machine. This question is how I came across this incredible work. I only learned yesterday how to connect with the TS community through this site and signed up for a subscription to help support. So, I looked up “largest talespire slab” and found this page.
As I move around this board, outside of the fans running a little faster, nothing noticeable at all with the performance of my machine. I’m hoping this is a good test. It assures me that I shouldn’t see performance issues as I continue using TS.
Again, your work is impressive. Absolutely awesome. I only hope to be able to give back at such a level to the TS community.
