Hello, Ive been back for a bit from a very long hiatus, been working on some variants for the Bowyers Guild, Workshop, and Journeymen House on my new plot. I'll post screenshots when I get some time. Love what you have done with the place aeks.

Looks like the ones that you'd tie a rope to and then wrap around yourself so you can hang off the side and fire arrows at anyone trying to scale the wall. Could modify it using rope anchored to a castrap. Alternatively you could make a roofed building or hoarding with openings in the...

While I was researching some crane designs, for the Eastwatch Crane, from the renaissance I stumbled upon this source that presents a treasure trove collection of renaissance designs. Some of which worked and some of which possibly did not. There’s plenty of manuscripts from Da Vinci and...

wrong. Its Planche

What about petrified wood?

You gonna allow some siege equipment on the walls?

Looks like it could be used it make a nice wooden cage block as opposed to the iron cages.

You already have about 3 large barracks in the city with a series of smaller barracks or guard posts scattered throughout KL. Of the 3 large barracks you have 1 in the Northeast near Dragon's Gate, another in the Northwest near the Gate of the Gods, and the other known to us as the Sea Fort near...

I like this answer. Many of the walls' castles are ancient and most are in a decrepit state. The gatehouse may be so damaged that it is barely even a gatehouse, just a shattered hulk of a barely recognizable structure. Still strong enough to create a natural choke point on one side of the...

I love the terra layout and as for the various streams and creeks coming down the hills well I was wondering if beaver dams could be added at locations where the elevation drops. Beaver dams are very good for a healthy water habitat and do protect native fish populations. You can find some facts...

An old college prank. At one of the universities in Alabama longtime ago in the 1970s there used to be a massive wooden 20 ft tall 10 ft wide rocking chair that weighed about 2 tons on campus built by architecture students 10 years prior. In the 1970s the fraternities on that campus had a bet...

Hmmm... that's 10 Kit Harrington's weighing in at roughly 150 pounds each and 4 barrels of gravel each weighing roughly 70 pounds which totals roughly 1780 pounds, almost 1 ton. We're prolly looking at a fairly sophisticated combination of the Treadwheel crane and Brunelleschi's 360 degree...

So I don't know where to drop this, but I found this nicely detailed treatise from the 1400s on shipbuilding in the Venetian Arsenal by Michael of Rhodes who worked there, oversaw shipbuilding, and served in the Venetian Guard. https://brunelleschi.imss.fi.it/michaelofrhodes/ships.html

Sounds like this area is the ASOIAF equivalent of Codlandia, though Codlandia could be somewhere else in the unknown world, but being the rich fishing ground in all the known world of ASOIAF is pretty much Codlandia in our world. I bet there is Westerosi Cod in the Bay of Seals and from reading...

For this bit here to be answered I feel that I must add an article with research from Historians and History Buffs alike over at the History Stack Exchange. The link here may provide some useful information in regards to the construction and fortification of certain areas in swamps and wetlands...

I've been in talks with AeksioOndos and I've decided to go back to Darkdell. I just wonder if some of my builds or ideas could be used for a new Norcross if it ever be built.

I apologize for the late reply. Family matters kept me busy for some time and seemingly will keep me busy further, unless some thing changes. I do remember where I read it, however, it really wouldn't be an actual quote. Rather it would be a map that I read and that map being from The Lands of...

Just a notice. Some may not be able to see the images, but I can see them and a few others can too. Don't know what is going on for some of you. Btw, I'll include some test screenshots tomorrow.
