Thread: Ras Aria

  1. #1

    Default Ras Aria

    So I decided to make a map of Ras Aria, a fort related to my watchtower drawing and Ten map. But then I hit a slight bump in the road.

    So for context in order to draw the fort I need to know what and how many buildings should be in. In order to do that, I need to know how many soldiers and other people it will house. And in order to do that, I'd need to actually give one of fantasy world's armies a proper structure. So I had to do that first. I also did a bunch of reading about various historical states with standing armies in the ancient and medieval period. There were some interesting anecdotes about daily garrison life.

    So this is the initial sketch plan for Ras Aria. When I start drawing it proper, the whole thing will be tilted clockwise about 50 degrees. It houses one "half great unit" (I have not named the different formation types yet as I'll be using my conlang to do that). In total that is 751 people plus some nom combatants and other randoms.

    Oh, I really appreciate the path that got you here. Oh yes indeed, all those calculations… I salute you for attending to such details!

    And I look forward to seeing this fort of verisimilitude appear.

    Cheers,

    This one is going to take a while. I got the walls mostly done. I'll feel much better once all the roofs are done. Fortunately there are few trees on this!

    That's some small concession - not having tons of trees.
    But you have a bunch of roof texture.
    It will look good.

    This is taking a while. I got a lot of details done though. Still need to finish off those last few barracks. Also need to add some other small details and a (VERY FEW) trees.

    It looks great so far, Larb ! Will you keep it in a white background ?
    Good luck for last roofs, and for trees !

    Thanks MistyBeeeeee. It will have a grassy background like my Ten map. I just tend to do that bit nearer the end.

    Most of the details are done now although I need to add some flora and do the crenelations. Mostly just doing the colour now though.

    Haven't got as much done as I hoped but I plan on finishing it over the next few days as there are some other maps I want to make.
