I am particularly happy with the new hay roof texture

Looks very nice! I think this could be one of your best series.

Thank you Nick

Some changes:

Red or brown tile roofs don't seem very Japanese. I'd say 95% of medieval Japanese architecture is black/grey roof tiles, or thatched roofs. Japanese architecture usually uses very simple colors, black, gray, white.

I was looking at this:

Tried to replicate the color.

That's Todaiji, the roof's tiles are grey

Prototype of the medieval Japanese set.

I hope i can improve it a bit. Any suggestions?

 

[Kyriakos]

Some changes. Still needs something in my view.

the small pallisade village is very very well thought....it lacks but a small wooden keep...

Returning to the English set, there is also this idea about the small church:

The Japanese set is outstanding .

Wait... they have a church in size 1 (which is great), then they have a church + a cathedral in size 2, then a church + a cathedral + a gigantic cathedral in size 3 ? Isn't it a bit too much ?
That's why I proposed that the church in size 1 should be replaced by a cathedral in size 2, not added to it. Anyway size 1 looks perfect now, I really like it better as it is now.

Well if there's one thing many European towns are noted for, it's their collection of religious buildings. Wittenberg is pretty much two streets and two churches.

 

[Kyriakos]

I think i will leave them as they now are, since i do not really like how 1 looks with the church so much in the south.
