These are various buildings that I made for my scenarios. I thought I might as well post them like this in case they were of use to anyone else. The quality is perhaps a little variable - I'm not much of an artist!

Let's kick off with the European medieval ones. Most of these are suitable for the early Middle Ages or even late antiquity.

First is the Warrior Hall, as built by Anglo-Saxon or Scandinavian lords. I've included a wonder splash (of Heorot, the hall from "Beowulf") in case you want to use this as a Wonder.

This is a round house, a style of hut-making that was used in Britain until something like the second or third century AD. So it's what peasants of late antiquity lived in before they worked out how to make rectangular houses.

This is a "cuneus", a building of unknown function from the early Anglo-Saxon period. It looks like a sort of simple theatre, though it may have been used for preaching or for speechifying.

A minster, an English large church or cathedral, although it could be from anywhere in Europe. This seems to be built in the Romanesque style, which means it's pre-Gothic, perhaps tenth or eleventh century.
