    Hmmm, not so sure about rockets, I'm to angle away from black powder weapons. The idea is that about the time that our world started turning away from swords and bows and taking up handguns and cannons my world takes up a technology known as Mage-Science (also known as Tech-Magic or Industiral Sorcery). Mage-Science is bacisally magical devies that can be used by non-magical people.

    Enough of that, here's an update on the map. I've done the rest of the camps, fixed up the roads, added another stable, toned down the land a bit, fixed up the forest treeline, added wells and put in a whole lot of brown dots to indicate where trees have been cut down (those palisades had to have come from somewhere).

    Next I'll be putting in a small field hospital and some training grounds, what else should I add for inside the camp, i already have plans for the big empty areas to the east. I also have plans to put in things like carts, boxes, a field buffet line to feed the troops and small work stations scattered around the camp, places where soldiers can maintain their gear and fletch arrows and stuff.

    Also on a side note, I've decided to make my armies unisex, a person's caste and heritage plays more a vital role in determining their status than their sex in this culture. Still, there would a lot of women at home who would be childbearers so I figured that would lessen the number of women in the armed forces from a 1:1 split to a something more like a 2:1 split, would this be right or should I raise/lower it?

    People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

    I'd cut some holes in the rows of tents for campfires - that's where the guys will sit around at night chit chatting for a while and they'd heat their tea there too instead of going to the mess line. Plus, they can eat there as well and sing rowdy songs. You'll also need a place for the wash and some lines to hang the clothes on to dry. Need a place for latrines. Just some brainstorming, shrug, use if ya want.

    Okay, I can afford to lose some tents. My army math shows that I have 136 spare tents so I can easily make some space for campfires and lines and stuff. I can build latrines but they would have to be down stream, hygiene is a touchy subject amongst the Dal People and even soldier in wartime are obliged to bathe when possible. I was also going to create some garbage dumps but with the hygiene thing I figured they'd just dump it in the river, the enemy is also downriver so that could be another reason to dump it there.

    Not much of an update but still something.

    I went through the camp and replaced a lot of the tents with camp fires and I also toned down the land a bit more. I also added some more details that are very important to the camp, they're hard to see but if you follow the road heading south from the camp you'll find some of them.
