Town Square/Plaza in cities
« on: June 17, 2015, 10:58:28 am »

I think that it would be a good idea for there to be town squares in the middle of cities. Right now the cities are just a sprawl with the castle on one end, a temple somewhere and an area with food-sellers outside the castle gates.

This could be changed so that in front of the castle gates or a short distance from it there could be a "town square" or plaza. This could be made to be obviously some sort of special area compared to other open spots as there could be a large area of paved ground, or ground paved differently from other areas with decorative tiles.

Some specific objects and things that could be included include fountains, statues, gardens, benches, hangman gibbets, stockades, announcement boards etc. Larger cities could have larger and more elaborate town squares

Important buildings like the main tavern of the town or the temple could maybe border the town square. I feel as though this is a relatively simple cosmetic change that would add a lot to the feeling of the town being alive and fleshed out as right now it seems kinda lifeless. It would be nice to travel to the main area of the city to see whether there are any events happening in the square, what announcements are posted, to talk to people there, or even on the way to the tavern.
