Salut Capitaine !

C'est une connaissance qui me les a imprimé, il a trouvé le fichier sur Internet !

Veux tu que je lui demande !?

[Captain yapudo]

Il vous en remercie bien mon « saigneur »

[Byblos]

Je m'en occupe !

Well with my research I realized that at the beginning of the period that I want to play (say between 1515 and 1575), there was still very little castles with walls and towers built on stones basement !

In addition in the Mori region - Chugoku - population density and standard of living were lower than in the plains of central Japan, because Chugoku was (and still is!) a very mountainous region!

In fact there were mostly Yamashiro in wood and plaster, consisting in several plateaux developed (and fortified) connected to each other!

It's very interesting !

In fact I am going to build a whole series of towers, walls and simple buildings, in foamboard and balsa, flexible: it is relatively long to do, but not very expensive, so little by little there is way to do something very nice!

A prototype: a wall portion 20 cm long:






Of course my stone-basement castle remains quite valid for the most powerful fortresses or the later period, say after 1550 ...
