niektb Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Wouldn't they cook inside? From what I remember the vikings usually did (but this buildings doesn't seem to have an opening in the middle)What building is this: house or civ center?This is a house.

Rodmar Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Other buildings should have stone foundations, shouldn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 This is a house.Oh wait, this is as big as the celt civ center X(What do you plan for the Civic Center ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanwin Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) I believe a viking man had several wifes and slaves and therefore many people lived together in these longhouses.Personally I would give the civ center a stone foundation, but not the barracks.I also remember something about them setting up trading posts on foreign soil from where they would trade with natives. Boats would arrive with cargo at these storehouses, minimising the amount of money that went to outsiders. Maybe there is a way we can depict this in gameplay?

niektb Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Still, I will have to scale it down =)What footprint size do you currently use?I hadn't decided about the Civic center yet, but I was thinking of the following: Merging the CC with the fortress, the final building being called: The Jarl's Hold.

niektb Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Longhousetype: house, buildingspecials: trains female citizen + axeman, resource dropsite for food and wood, additional garrison slots, small ranged attack, additional pop cap bonus, more expensive, build-limit."Throughout the Norse lands, people lived in longhouses (langhús), which were typically 5 to 7 meters wide (16 to 23 feet) and anywhere from 15 to 75 meters long (50 to 250 feet), depending on the wealth and social position of the owner. In much of the Norse region, the longhouses were built around wooden frames on simple stone footings. Walls were constructed of planks, of logs, or of wattle and daub."http://www.hurstwic.org/history/articles/daily_living/text/longhouse.htmReferences:You can see one in the picture above.

greenknight32 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Often it was just a hole, but people will understand the chimney better - and they were sometimes used. So that's fine. Edited February 2, 2014 by greenknight32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
