I was so impressed with the quality of the graphics in Age of Empires II - Age of Kings, (developed by Ensemble Studios and distributed by Microsoft) that I was inspired to build my own versions of some of the buildings. I have added descriptions from my own imagination and not based on the game. |
StableKnights depend on their chargers and every castle has facilities devoted to the care of horses. The building is also used for repairing and storing saddles, harness, and other gear. | |
BlacksmithThe blacksmith not only makes weapons and armor, he also makes and repairs all the metal used by everyone in the castle and the village. | |
Archery RangeCitizens are expected to assist in the defense of the castle and the archery range is place where they can sharpen their skills and practice with the regular soldiers. | |
BarracksThis building is the headquarters for a small garrison of foot soldiers. Their job is to act as a local police force, protecting villagers from outlaws, as well as to help defend the kingdom from invaders. | |
MarketThe market is a place where local farmers and craftsmen and women can sell their products. It also serves as a place where traveling peddlars and merchants can display their wares. |
