Hamdun – Village Renovation : Stage 1
Ok stage one, the center of the village, ive placed one of marylou’s 1×2 community lots in the center, round that i will have small 1×1 lots.
On the central lot I placed a small building with toilet, and a fountain to represent the town square, not very fancy as far as community lots go i grant you, but it looks good from the neighborhood view and i now have a village center should i ever need photo’s for Grimstead.
Having done that i built a small shop, the inside layout wasn’t the focus, i just wanted a shell i could use repeatedly that would match the initial building, here’s what i came up with.
From there i surrounded my village square with these shells. (7 in total)Now its time to decide what kind of shops they are going to be.
I chose :-
- Furrier – Selling Fur rugs and wall hangings
- Tailor – Selling Clothing
- Weaver – Tapestry and rugs
- Chandler – Selling lighting / candles etc
- Cooper – selling barrels and bath tubs
- Baker – bread / pies etc
- Alchemist – selling jugs and pots etc ( yes lets use our imagination theres something in them )
It made sense the Hamduns would be fairly cloth/fabric based as Aldun started life as a tailor.
Once this had been decided i decorated and renamed each of the small community lots accordingly, trying not to make them too expensive as i do want my merchant class folk to buy them at some point and trying to make them something that was practical ( I.E could make money )
Anyway this is what i ended up with.
