For a long time I always had problems thinking of what a medieval/renaissance
village would have. you always come up with blacksmith and tavern.. but what
else? And then it hit me, and it was so obvious and silly I couldn't stand it:
Everything one would need to live, someone is the medieval ages was making. So
that means:
So far you have:
Baker, Butcher, Tavern, Cooper, Glassblower, Seamstress, Silversmith
Other things could be:
Merchants of all kinds (spice seller, exotic cloth, etc), pottery maker (bowls,
jars, etc), winery, brewery, leather-worker, candle maker, lamp maker, musket
maker (since you've got musketeers), wagon maker, mason (this would be cool,
like with a half built house that he's working on), roofer
also, several of your houses have flowers on them.. perhaps a flower seller?
That's almost 10 things, if you don't count various merchants and merchant
types, and also specializations (ie. drinking glassblower vs. window
glassblower.. or even an artisan who makes stained glass windows).
And thats a whole new line of occupation: scribes, illuminator (a guy who
illuminates texts), painter, and sculptor.
Just some ideas
