[WIP] Newtown

[Wingshaw]

If you want tips about the layout of this town, it might help if you provide some more information. Some things to consider:
You say it's a planned city,
- planned how long ago?
- by whom?
- for whom?
- for what purpose? (eg as a national capital, to give land to retired soldiers, simply as an opportunity to replace a city that is no longer there)
- what is the technological age of this city? (i.e. medieval, Renaissance, Classical etc.)
- what is its geographic area (grassland, forest, hills, desert etc.)
- is there anything in the culture that might inform the town design (eg if a god/prince/mayor really loves triangles and spirals)?
- how many people do you expect will live here?
- is there a main industry housed here (ie. how will the inhabitants earn a living)?

You needn't answer all of these questions (or any of them) but the more detail you give, the easier it will be to make suggestions.

- planned how long ago? - About 200 yrs ago. After the original was destroyed. He tried to design it with enough room inside, that it would grow within the walls for a long time.
- by whom? - By the King at the time. Who was a master of everything. Think Hadrian combined with Sejong.
- for whom? - The people there. His own amusement, and a bit to show off.
- for what purpose? Both to replace the city originally there which was razed, but also to be the center piece defense for the eastern side of the island kingdom.
- what is the technological age of this city? medieval/fantasy
- what is its geographic area grasslands, riverfront - ocean is fairly close.
- is there anything in the culture that might inform the town design Not really.
- how many people do you expect will live here? Quite a few, though I haven't put exact numbers on it.
- is there a main industry housed here Combination of fishing, farming, and trade (main road runs through town to get to other large cities as well as the river)
