Mai: Oh I didn't know we were stopping by some villain's castle to dispose of him before we went home.

Kai: That villain's castle is actually my home. It just kind of turned out that way. At the very least it, the monsters in my employ should feel at home. I was on the road a lot in the past so I didn't really need a home but now that I don't need to travel as much I figured it was time to work on making a permanent residence.

Mai: At least the rooms look comfy enough.

Kai: My home isn't quite finished yet but the essentials are there. There's rooms for my servants, a waiting room to receive guests and to collect offerings, a throne room where people can come to discuss things with me, a mixed bath, a dining room, kitchen, and kitchen backroom.

Kai: And this is my room. You'll be sleeping here until work on your room is finished. Speaking of other rooms I plan on creating a forge/workshop where I will do my crafting and store my mount/robot for maintenance. I also intend to make an alchemy/wizard workshop, an armory, and a war room where I will discuss with my allies/pets strategy and yearly goals.

While I enjoy getting a palace for the 8 vendors I was always intimidated by the amount of space available and wasn't sure how I would use it if I were to construct my home. Taking inspiration from chaos forts and default shops I decided to just fill the entire map with a wall tile. In my case it was this purple dank wall tile.

I would then just need to hollow my home out to add rooms. Instead of worrying about the exact dimensions of my home and having to plan out in advance what my home would like like, I could just focus more on room design and add things as I thought them up. Picture kind of captures the process. I pretty much just stitched new rooms into the picture as I hollowed out my home to make new rooms. If I don't fill the entire map with rooms it will be easy to just replace the excess walls with outdoor tiles.
