WIP Village

[FallenImmortal]

Will this village include a religious building (some sort of temple, maybe even a church) ?

If yes, it would look good to place it a bit seperated from the village, with its own farmstead nearby.


Some of the buildings are placed quite regularly, especially near the bridge; in my opinion it would look better if the small buildings are arranged to farmsteads of round or rectangular shape.

By the way:
It is sometimes very useful to look at settlements which still retain the social structures which are comparable to 'our' (European) ones in the middle ages. For example, there are quite interesting street (and plot) layouts at the southern part of the city of Akordat, Eritrea, Eastern Africa, where you can still find small plots of irregular shape on a random street pattern.

I see what you mean by the irregular plots. That is fascinating. I'll try some more irregular shapes in with the more standard ones. Right now I'm working on placing the earlier farmsteads, so I can place in the newer constructions based on what was originally there.

I just made a sketch of some common medieval european village layouts (took me about 10 minutes ):



Hope it can help you...
