Application for area 9: Peasant houses, fields, yards and pastures
This is my first mini, and I have done most of the planning off of the minimap.
The area covers where two roads join before going through the outer wall of White Harbour. There will be no professions/shops, since all travelers would prefer to at least get inside the protection of the outer walls of White Harbour.
Yellow boxes are approximate location, size and orientation of farmhouses. All will be lower class peasant homes. The southeastern most house will be built in wood, the others will be built mainly in dark wh grey.
Purple boxes are approximate location, size and orientation of barns. These will both be built in wood.
Red lines indicate approxiamte borders of yards.
Pink lines indicate pastures. The pastures will all include at least one shelter for the animals, mainly in the open wooden style.
Yellow lines indicate the placement of fields, a few of which will be barren, unworked.
The thin grey line shows where I will make a new, small, accessroad to the central fields.
The green line will be a windbreak, mainly for the central pasture, but also for the main cluster of houses. The windbreak will be a small raised hill covered with bushes and tall trees.
The green blob is a forest. I will add forest to the areas towards the river on whatever parts I don't cover with fields or pastures. The area north of my northernmost fields should be forested also. I added the green blob to show that I intend to have the forest wedge in between some of the fields and pastures, to show that the farmers have cut down the forest where they want their fields, and left the rest untouched. The southereastern house is built later in the treeline.
Areas not covered by the image above:
I don't find it plausible that so few farmers would work an area bigger than what I have added in my application.
I will build up the area north of my plotted farms/buildings with mainly forest. I might extend my farmland more towards the river and add in a few more unworked fields. Any area left over towards the river will be forested.
The area south of the southwestern fields, south of the fork would be wild nature, unforested, akind to the area northwest of the area my application covers. No forest here, because of how close it is to the outer wall of WH. Towards the river, it will gradually turn into forest.
If covered by this application, I will also build the bridge where the southern fork crosses the river.
WE help.
I would need some WE help after placing the fields, pastures, outlines, etc. This will be to create the forest, wild unforested nature and river. Painting help for the fields and pastures would also be much appreciated.
