History/Research: The Peoples of the Steppe

[xeofox]

yurts for leader (fictional)

[Bercor]

Great! I'll probably use the first example.

[ahowl11]

We are going to have so much information when we start implementing the nomad culture

[Bercor]

I reckon this is a pretty acceptable nomad camp stratmap model:

No?

[xeofox]

I think it will be great! 

[The Sloth]

It is a variant of urbanization ( Sakas or Dahae before will begin to build the city, army a lot but only horse archers)


it is for example/ Please discuss, correct!

Not sure I understand this.

"sanctuary"  --> temples?
"colltection of natural reserves" --> hunting and gathering?
"army" --> barracks?
"1,2,3,4,5" --> city levels?

It would be best to keep the structure of the tech tree as it is, but since nomads will be their own culture, descriptions, effects, icons and images of buildings can be anything we want them to be. I'm sure there are possibilities for customization.

For instance, hunting grounds and pastures make good nomadic "farms".

I think that's suggesting a similar tech tree structure, but making buildable "actions" rather than the standard buildings. 

[xeofox]

"sanctuary"  --> temples? yes
"colltection of natural reserves" --> hunting and gathering? yes (for winter)
"army" --> barracks? no. I mean differences from Parthia. another army
"1,2,3,4,5" --> city levels? yes

the biggest problem is  nomads havent buildings. If they have built it is not nomads. If the first city levels are not standard then we will give the illusion of urbanization of nomadic tribes.

I think that's suggesting a similar tech tree structure, but making buildable "actions" rather than the standard buildings.
Yes, the building will be constructed (for example another simple yurt or a simple building (unremarkable)). BUT on the menu will be referred to as actions.

*the image of structures level in dropbox for you correction and you fantasy (nomad_economy.psd)

Success! After many tribulations, and with the indispensable help of Jarlaxe, I managed to implement xeofox's buildings in the stratmap.
Behold, the nomadic settlement of Aleria:

Bear in mind that this is not the final version, and improvements are to be expected.

[ahowl11]

Looking good! Try talking Jarlaxe into joining us if he can. He said he would but he is busy a few months ago. Maybe something has changed?

[Bercor]

Here's the final version of the nomad camp stratmap model:

Spoiler

Any complaints?

[Bercor]

How it looks ingame:

[Alavaria]

Any chance it could have grass under it?

[Bercor]

Of course.

I'm just using the current map to show off.
