Haster, Imperial City

[Gandwarf]

I probably misread, thinking you guys were denying garden space in medieval cities
What I personally found amazing is that most of these maps display a lot of open space in these walled off cities. Was this wishful thinking of the cartographer?

Anyway, I agree a lot of buildings shared walls in ancient cities and they formed blocks. But as you said, individual buildings were certainly a fact as well.

That's what I like about Haster, it looks like a good mix. I just miss the alleys and other lesser streets.

Edit:
Reading the comments again it's Neonknight I was replying to.

With yards etc, that not a single medieval city in the real world has ever had (if someone can post a real world medieval city up as an example of the exception, I would be most appreciative).

It sounded like Neonknight was denying medieval cities had gardens and yards...

No, I was not saying cities never had green space within them, but they did not have 'yards' in the sense we as modern people think of them. The 'White Picket Fence' ideal of the Modern World of a house with a Front/Back and side yards, with a manicured lawn. I see a lot of city maps that almost typify that ideal, and they really did not exist in medieval times. Unless you were rich, really, really rich. And even then, the yards would have been enclosed behind walls & gate.
