Most of us here have explored many castle basic structures:
1) Castles
2) Taverns
3) Churches
4) etc...
For my next little project, I'm going to be working on a village - a very small
village which might have three houses and a square. So my question comes - what
SHOULD a small village contain? A town square? And what should be there?
Should I use the wooden elements, or focus on tan? Ideally, I will try to stay
away from gray and black - and most other colors ... This should be a dirty
little place where poor people live. This is exactly the type of place that my
two young heroes will try to get away from - because life in this kind of place
is hell. It's hell because this place has no future.
So here are my thoughts so far:
1) I will focus on having tan and brown all over - with maybe black and a
little bit of gray - very little. Dark gray is preferable.
2) I will use tan baseplates - and maybe one of the road plates from Bandit's
Hideout. Maybe two.
So my challege goes out for those of you with resources to design a house or two
that would meet these criteria. For those that don't have resources, I would
like to have your opinion: What should this place look like? Maybe one of you
could help me with the layout. I think I gave a pretty good idea of what I'm
looking for ... and now I need feedback because there are tons of creative guys
and gals out there, so I hoped for a collective effort on this ...
Thanks and I'm looking forward to hearing you ideas ...

| Aside from some arguing about spelling, etc, I think we can safely say that Dave E set a precedent with village building. What should the next challenge be? "Build a water-mill with a roof." Just kidding. Well done Dave! (I'm seriously impressed by (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
