Adjust your workflow as you see fit, however the amount of effort needed to create your own 'building blocks' is minimal in a lower poly setting and worth doing to prevent blatant repetition in most cases.

To start off you generally start from scratch, maybe import a model from the base game for comparison to get the scaling correct.
Afterwards I tend to keep like buildings in the same blender file so I can borrow elements off of it, it aids in set cohesion when you can compare things side by side
All the my flora is in one file as well, but the only things to borrow between those are leaf planes, tree trunks to edit slightly.
its better to start from scratch so you have a deep familiarity with the meshes, as a project space can get quite hectic even with that in mind
cheers, and good luck-

I've wanted to do this for a while now

A few things, the texture density on separate parts of the roof are different on the right model, which looks unnatural, there was some consideration for the ridges of the roof on the left that is lacking on the right. the left model also uses parallax maps which let it interact more convincingly with the light source

your mesh needs to be selected and unwrapped in edit mode,
in order to get things to show up in blender, use nodes to apply an image texture to the material so you're not working blind
-
You have loose geometry, floating edges or vertices that need to be removed

It's lookin good!

you're a godsend genava, its a pain in the ass to find examples for any of these but Ive found it fascinating
7 days to die used to let players build castles out of compacted earth but they since removed the feature, but it got me exploring these fortifications lol-

reconstruction of the great earthen walls around jiayuguan
baños de la encina, almost the entire castle is made of taipa from the look of it
last two are a reconstruction of Ki castle, Kinojo, korean styled japanese taipa mountain fortress
first one and this one are a reconstruction of jiayuguan fortress, brick and taipa
even the Alhambra has taipa fortifications

Oooh are we considering taipa walls?

those sword hits are way too high pitched and overpowering
the grunts arent as invasive as i thought they would be though,
If you want flesh hits lion it may work well on death

I'm not sure that will work for what he's going for
The best way to keep track of how a prop will behave on a unit is to constraint lock location and rotation of the prop in question to the prop bone you intend to assign it to. Just remember to separate it before export. You will need 2 different prop meshes, one for each hand
-
That depends on whether its an animated mesh or not. Meshes without animations need to be exported with child empties in the desired prop location renamed prop-yournamehere. Make sure your empties are selected on export if you export by selection, but make sure the mesh itself is the active selection. yournamehere will be the assignable point in the actor editor.
In animated mesh files this needs to be a child bone on the armature instead of an empty, similarly named prop-something.

what a cute building haha, anything to pad out a townscape

Very Hellenistic
Indian palace still looks like bus station.

that palace was a texture pack proof of concept, and was never really meant to be used as a building. A Maurya palace would have to be made from scratch if we wanted one
