Well, as most people already know, most Rhun and Haradrim buildings have no building animations, may not have visible damaged states, snow textures, idle animations, etc. To set these up means re-mapping the buildings even to begin :(. .Well, I've begun the task of trying to set up as many of these as I can.
So here is my first more complex build-up animation as well as my first attempt at re-mapping one of EA's buildings. It probably is not the most beautiful thing, but it's a start. I've re-mapped the Battle Tower (though I did remove some of the trim, that's just plain awful to re-map all of it) and gave it a simple build-up animation.

Let me know what you think, all feedback is greatly appreciated. And if anyone know how to add the normal textures to a building, let me know. I'd like to add those bump maps back onto the structures.

Nice, I'll try to re-map some buildings as well. Keep in mind that I absolutely ain't a god in UVW mapping though 
It has been reported that some victims of rape, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren't being raped. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP

Looks pretty swish, I love the bit at the end where the decoration rises and splits into three

I throw my two coins in with Shikari. That split at the end is brilliant. Most buildings seem to only announce their completion with the return of a builder to my quick bar. That little flair of faster animation right at the top of the building gives the end of the animation a true sense of finality.
I only wish I had the talent to assist, or to even know where to begin to assist. While I’m wishing, I’d also like a pony, a sports car, a prehensile tail, and an extra set of opposable thumbs.
