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.

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.

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.

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.

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