Medieval towers were defensive structures usually made of stone. Often they included battlements and arrow loops. Arrow loops were vertical slits in the wall where archers from the inside shot arrows through at the attackers, but made it extremely difficult for attackers to get many arrows back through at the defenders. A Battlement comprises a defensive low wall between chest-height and head-height, in which rectangular gaps or indentations occur at intervals to allow for the discharge of arrows or other missiles from within the defences. Towers can be stand alone structures or parts of defensive walls.

Town Walls are a necessity for town to survive in medieval world of invasion and conquest. Wealthy towns are enclosed by protective walls and the only access to the town is regulated through Town Gate. Adding the section A together with section B will determine the length of the wall. You can use as many sections as you like. To avoid repetition we designed two versions of section A with slightly different textures and details. Note that the section B is always connected to section A or ending sections E and F.

Noble Townhouse represents the city or town residence of a noble or wealthy family. Townhouses of the rich are bigger in size and more elaborate than those of regular townsfolk. By their residence nobles prevented the town from becoming merely a trading centre or an aggregate of merchants. They kept the citizens in touch with the rest of the kingdom. They made the people understand that they belong to their Realm.

Horses are expensive working animals, used for transport, communication, and battle as well as a statement of status. Every farm has its own horse and it is considered as a valuable commodity. This is why stables are complementary to the house, or built as close as possible to it. Their quality had to be better than other farm buildings, as keeping their horse in prime condition was vital to the economy of the household.

In dark medieval times, every city had to defend itself. Buildings like Guard Tower enable soldiers to spot the enemy on time in order to make all necessary actions to properly prepare the city for attack. When the soldiers on the Guard Tower sound the alarm, town gates are being sealed and all who can fight equip themselves with weapons and readily await the battle to commence. Guard towers are built on the outskirts of a city, preferably on higher ground. These buildings have to be sturdy enough to withstand enemy’s cannon balls, stones thrown by catapults or even attacks by frenzied monsters such as Giants and Treeman. It has to be high enough so soldiers are able to see as much landscape as possible. Sometimes whole regiments of archers and other troops are stationed in one Guard Tower.
