Enrique Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Possible mill or farmstead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo38 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Possible mill or farmstead?As always, nice model, however it feels more like a house than a mill of farmstead. I think the upper terrace is not necessary, unless it is accessible from a stair or a ramp, like a access to high storage of straw or else. It has to feel more utilitary.I'm thinking of an alternative : I find having two vaults may be too "wealthy" for a farmstead, so I suggest keeping the one at the top, removing the lower one and instead having a second terrace roof, and connecting both terraces with a diagonal balcony including also the stairs or a sort of big ladder. Well, something like that. Such terrace would then give a lot of surface of outdoor work.That's just and idea I'm throwing like that.

Alevyr Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) Not quite sure where I was going with this, but I figured I contribute something somewhere.It's a bit rough, and kind of thrown together pretty quickly Edited November 6, 2012 by Alevyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo38 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 eh, im just about completely lost on this one haha maybe, but that feels like a farmstead ! It's gonna need some terrain with a fence around it, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I assume that their extensive knowledge of pizza was from the importation of Etruscan slaves into India after the Roman annexation of Vetulonia?

MishFTW Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I would like to add that it wasn't uncommon to have granaries with circular white plaster walls and a thatched conical roof. This is sort of a modern day equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sighvatr Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Isn't pizza a chinese creation?Must've happened through trade.(I thought pizza was an American dish from New York? Otherwise we would see pizza on the menu of Chinese Take-outs.)I would separate the granaries from the main building. It looks kinda weird when they are merged.

Enrique Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I made this farmstead sketch (not very proud of it xD), with AOE influences for the vertical mill but not sure if it's historically accurate.Mauryan architecture is not my strong... ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not give that planks roofs to the main cabin, rather stone tiles.And for the mill, I would make the sails structure a little bit thiner and a more humble roof, so, timber instead of stone tiles. A earth dome would be really cool too, but I don't know if it would be accurate for Mauryans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo38 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 that mill not can be work in a rainy country.Lion, you mean a earth dome wouldn't stand the rain climate of India ? Sure. Actually, earth domes exist mostly in Africa, but I'm pretty sure there are some in India, in dry regions. Anyway, the need here is a multi-climate solution, so let's forget the earth idea.

Shield Bearer Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I think we use a lot of mud houses here. We use the mud as plaster for the red stone underneath and usually we re plaster the building after the monsoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Well here's my idea on a drop site (or a house?):Comments - as always - are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishFTW Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Nice start Josh. Perhaps some more details? An as I understand it, you can set up prop points in the engine so the model will have random assets (barrels, food, etc)Also, the granary should be white, and perhaps a bit taller?

I haven't ever heard of the random prop thing, but if that's possible I would try to us that. I like how you see the second building as a granary, I just originally put is there as another building. Changing it to white sounds good and I'll look into the height. Do you have any comments on end of the roof on the 1st building? I wasn't quite sure how to make that look nice.

Mythos_Ruler Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Perhaps best for someone to draw some sketches... or use some of the older concept sketches for inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) @Mythos_Ruler: Where would I find the concept sketches?@Everyone else: Made some minor changes to my model (I don't really care if it's used or not, I just enjoy the modeling):If you have a comment, vocalize it. =) Edited December 2, 2012 by Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
