>>6144151>IRON AGE SETTING>must include HILL-FORTSo in my Song Of The Oath And Wild setting I referenced the Firu Fortrenn,
https://archived.moe/qst/thread/5265138/#5265748which is not a made up word hehe but I stole it from wikipedia, it references a Pictish hill-fort
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FortriuMaybe you could combine a hill-fort with the NwN2 castle / keep management format idea?
>>6139062I think Iron Age is well-established in current videogame / media settings, you have that Vikings tv series, viking Assassins Creed, The Last Kingdom Bernard Cornwell Anglo-Saxon King Arthur etc. also that retelling of Hamlet / Amleth the Northman or Skyrim cosplay ruined by Nicole Kidman increasingly plasticface except I enjoyed the severed horse limb rearrangement scene. There are a lot of good concept art visual references, even historical ones for an Iron Age setting, no crossbows, probably not even many bows, spears and hand axe / throwing axe and the shield wall mainly, massed cavalry is rare? SHIELD WALL. Or schiltron, sceldtrome, hehe. If you are a feminist I recommend this archaeological study attempting to make economic inferences regarding Dark Age wellbeing / prosperity from the yarn / weft and warp of Icelandic cloth.
