Hey everyone,

Here is my Redo Appeal and Building Application for House Kidwell of Ivy Hall in the Reach - image is the link:



Thank you for reading

I'll also copy this pic onto the discord soon.

So, when looking at the app, the central forest area doesn't make the most sense to me as that is where there'd be some pretty good farmland. This would have been cleared long ago as it is close to the Rowan river. What I'd suggest would be to make it look like there was a forest there, but its been cut back to a few remnants trapped on the hillsides. This would also allow for meadow and little riparian corridors along the streams that'd be perfect for hunting game in. I've indicated my suggestions for the placement of the remnants in red.
Also, the blue C is where I recommend making the stands of trees almost entirely Coppiced Hazel or similar looking schems (JHazel and the coppiced/cut versions, the pollarded willow schems). these are perfect for brushwood, wicker baskets and simple, easy to light firewood.

Spoiler: Sherwood Forest is a good representation of how a forest gets cut away by human use

Hi Aeks,

Thanks for the feedback regarding the forest - I was trying to make it look more like a remanent forest but your plotting makes much more sense and I will certainly implement it and ensure it can still be used for the hunting of game and collecting of firewood but not a dense forest per say. Thank you for your tree type recommendations - I shall certainly use this too in building the forest and eastern bank so that it makes sense naturally.

I was talking to Jake about an idea for a green-slate producing facility along the stream and the produce gets shipped to Highgarden - with the Aeks' new plotting of the forest I could include this plus some more farmland!

I've tested for more yellowish gradients and more house tests in the transitional style. They can be found by /warp CropGarden and turn left.
