Fortified Farm House

A fortified farmhouse battlemap, drawn from Tibetan architecture & based on the climate of the cold nomadic steppes! Here is where the richest of the local land-lords oversees their fields from, inside an ancestral home built up over generations. It may not look like much, but compared to the stone cottage neighbors, this luxurious manor is a veritable baron’s keep, and can keep out any raiders that may come past!

Which is why you, as a GM, have the raiders burn the fields.

Thoughts

• The lower half of the map doubles as a smaller crossroads map, if you crop out the farmstead.
• Thorn-bushes are used as cattle-herding barriers. Don’t let people charge through them for free!
• There’s a ladder embedded in the cellar wall for extensions or secret escape routes if need be.
• The watchtower gong can be used to announce to the field workers, but it might also signal approaches, or be used to wake the residents…
