[zanji]

Id like to apply for the House Wells in the north.

 

[DylanLovesYouJP]

That keep is making me feel things, great job!

 

[zanji]

Ok so codd said i should expand the lands.



green: fields
dark blue: village
red: keep
yellow: holdfast (poor, small)
lighter blue: hamlet
purple: lumberjack camp (only inhabited in the summer, in the winter the lumberjacks will go to there homes in the hamlet or the village)
white: ruined holdfast
(not sure about this one - turquoise: bandits camp)

@codd

the hous test you wanted

 

[AerioOndos]

just some feedback;
with the bandits camp, why are they there? Why would bandits not be on the Kingsroad, which would surely be a more profitable place to set up and raid from?

OK so i wont be able to play so much until january because of exams. Does this effect my application when im for a month or so not in the Server?
But I'll respond to Messages and tips at this tread anyways.

That's no problem at all. Your real life commitments are more important than the server.

First off - what's your reasoning to place House Wells where you did?

I like the tests, they all generally live up to expectations. I've seen some of the other stuff you've built and liked your attention to detail and ability to create realistic feeling spaces, so no further comment on the style from my side.

The plans are ok. I miss a bit more attention to detail on that front and would love to see more fletched out plans and a bit more creativity in general. There's a couple interesting natural features (a bog, woods, streams, very nice hills, ...) and I'd like to ask for a few features (both man made and natural ones) that reflect and maybe enhance the already interesting landscape.

I'd also like to see a layout of the keep. I realize there's a picture of a model attached, but I cannot find the model itself on your plot.

First of all, thank you for the response.

So I see what you mean. I will work on the plans and attach a new one in the next days.

I'd also like to see a layout of the keep. I realize there's a picture of a model attached, but I cannot find the model itself on your plot.

I think I have deleted it one day, dont know why either. But since i had other ideas for the layout anyways, ill make a new one on my plot and leave a message here.

 

[zanji]

ok, so heres the layout for the keep. I tried my best to recreate the terrain in a smaller scale, even tho its not quiet accurate.

pls give feedback, the plans for the lands are comin soon too.

 

[AerioOndos]

are there going to be other buildings inside the inner bailey with the keep? it looks to me like there might be space for a stable and a castle smith between the keep and the gates but it would be something to test out.

Since i wasnt able to make an exact model for the castle, i wasnt able to build them in the model. I intend to have a smith and a peasentry, so a building that gives the people from the village shelter in case of an attack, and that provides food for poor people while peace times. The stable is the wooden thing with hatch above next the keep, also visible on the model.

 

[zanji]

Ok, so here it is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Layout:



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New plans for the surrounding lands, havent marked the fields in this one:



red: keep
blue: village
light blue: hamlet
yellow: holdfast
green: peat farm
pink: lumberjack camp
orange: mill
aquamarine: watchtower
white: ruined holdfast

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking forward to get feedback.

Just my two cents, but would it not be more common to have the stables located in the outer bailey, rather than attached to the keep in the inner bailey?

Would be a possibility. It would be located right of the main gate, so that the two other buidlings arent to cramped together.

Would you mind making a to-scale layout in wool for the castle? I have trouble imagining the size/area you plan to cover.

Sure, I'll die that.

@Iwan



Just some small changes so that its fits the terrain better.
