[QUOTE="thejc, post: 5443283, member: 100006"] hmmm... [U]for natural resources[/U] a water source, a small or large tree filled area (for basic building supplies and fuel for fire) there needs to be some sort of food source weather it is small game, small farm animals(chickens, sheep, ect), some sort of availibility for grain. [U]building wise[/U] a chapel a blacksmith shop a common area for trading housing for said people you listed small stable? [U]npcs[/U] I don't see the need to add any real people or services. you may consider fleshing out some of the regular traders. Ranger or druid or barbarian that can survive on the frontier that trades pelts or jerky he/she makes. Rare herbs or plant life they may be able to locate. Maybe a wine or ale they make with unknown ingredients. You also want to have "specialty" they trade in. Why does it in fact exist. Is the trader one few who can speak the barbarians language and trades iron/steel weapons to them for various maps/ pelts/ spices they find? Does the trader have in "in" in the city and brings a certain liquors to the locales? Is there a bounty on a certain monster or animal that would draw people to come to there? Is it a government mandated post to also house patrols, provide supplies to restock soldiers, and encourage "peaceful" interaction with the sparse native population of the frontier? [/QUOTE]
