no this is not another suggestion about for what factions we should add villages, I think the admins got that by now. this suggestion is about the villages themselves.

for several factions we've seen villages, for some villages will be added in the future. only I've been thinking about some things which can be improved, such as:

Size: most villages are not more than 15 buildings, but I think we should make villages a bit bigger, up to 30 buildings or even more, because that is just what villages are. if villages would be just like the new dalish villages, 5 houses, it would be really hard for the inhabitants to survive.

buildings: a village is divided in jobs, so that everyone has his own place in the village, we've only seen bakeries, smithies and bazaars etc. not all the buildings which should be in a village can be found. so I think the villages should contain at least these buildings:

-at least 15 normal houses only made for living

-a bakery

-a townshall, which is the place where the mayor of the lives

-a butchery

-a smithy

-a farm

-a barn

-a stable

-a storage building

-an inn

-sometimes maybe a village tower, where the local guard, well, guards

inhabitants:

-villagers, the men should sometimes have weapons, the women not, and no, this is not sexism, this is just how it is, women need to be protected by men and they dont carry weapons themselves (except elves, let them have their bow and knife, they're just cool), perhaps children? humanish children?

-guards/soldiers, just a few, not too many

-mayor, every village has one, or its called a chieftain in some factions

-animals, every village should have a few animals, and maybe even pets? like dogs and cats or something, the dog will attack anyone or anything that attacks his hooman.

-traders, this actually just includes all the people who have a job, farmers, blacksmiths, bakers etc.

spawning: the villages should become more rare for some factions, and bigger as I said, less random spawning houses because people just like to live in big numbers.

also about the buildings, the homes should be a bit more variating, the colour of rooftops are variating now, but also the shape, maybe 3 or 4 kinds of homes should be nice,in real also not every building looks the same ofcourse.

harad villages should become like other villages, and not a square with perfect placed buildings.

I know this has been suggested before, may it be far less detailed, so I made a very specific and detailed version of those suggestions since I haven't seen anyone doing that yet. besides that, did I miss anything or are there more things which should me added? let me know in the comments/quotes! critisism is always welcome!
