    Beautiful village map! I would actually have to disagree on the farms, as I think the field to population ratio needed to support medieval era towns is higher than you might think. Especially since crop yields were much lower then than in modern times.

    That's what I thought too. From what I know most peasants farm as their main role, so I figured most houses would have a farm.
    What I'm looking into improving is the layout of these farms, so far I'm just winging it, but I recently remembered the Three Field system they had in Feudal Europe and I'm gonna try to incorporate that more in my maps.

    The part that I am really grappling with, that almost each house small or large has a crops area almost or larger than ten times the size of their actual house? It doesn't seem realistic, taking into account motivation, the poor, labor force/or lack thereof. Different professions, even some as hunters and gatherers. Definitely still debatable.
