To all the Creators out there.....some days, ya just need some help to believe in what you're doing.......

New Update for Northumbria - I've added a quick Fly-Through Video showcasing my work on the New Brick Manor Lower Interior. The walls have been covered in a wooden finish called Wainscoting. Exotic Eastern Oriental Rugs acquired as spoils of the Crusading Wars dress the Manor's floors. The Lord and Lady's table sits perpendicular to the lower noble's table. Candles and oil lamps are the only form of light. Fireplaces with Chimneys are a new invention that only the very rich could dare to afford.Some members have asked if this Manor is based on a real building. Here is an image of the Chenies Manor in England on which this structure was heavily influenced.

Northumbria just got its first BRICK Building!

So......Why are BRICKS such an important invention...??

Today, we take the humble Brick for granted. We think nothing of bulldozing a building and throwing bricks into landfill.

But, once upon a time, Bricks were such a valuable commodity that they were valued equal to Bronze.

They were so prized that they were even recycled and bequeathed in a person's will & testament.
Brick-Built Structures were first introduced to Britain during the Roman occupation
43AD-410AD. However, when Rome withdrew from the Britannic colony, the
technology disappeared with the 6th century Anglo-Saxon timber-building culture. Bricks
were not seen in Britain again until the 1100's (12th century).

Northumbria
just got its first Brick-Built Building. The Manorial Estate of the
local Lord has showcased his wealth and prestige by building his new
family home in Brick.

So, why were Bricks so valuable? Like all
new "Trends", Bricks were not widely available and required a
specialised technique to produce. It wasn't until European Royalty
copied Brick Structures from the Byzantine Empire, that they became
instantly fashionable with European Aristocrats. As European builders
scrambled to learn & adopt the technology, the usual "Supply &
Demand" constraints made them even more expensive.

What were the Benefits of "Bricks"?
Bricks were not only able to be mass-produced from
local clay, but they could also be uniquely designed to shape the
design of a specific building.
Furthermore, Bricks had a tensile quality that could perfectly counter the destructive effects of the new cannon-arsenal now delivering an existential threat to traditional
stone-built strongholds. Bricks allowed cannon-fired projectiles to pass
through a wall without bringing down the entire fabric of the building.
The mass of bricks proved itself to be a much more flexible material,
acting similarly to the qualities of earthen embankments.

I've put together some Work in Progress footage of my Northumbria Map so that people can get an immersive experience of my plans for the build. There is still so much work to do.
I just updated the map to the latest version of ArdaCraft - only to find that some of the textures are no longer supported in the Single Player Mode. This puts me in a difficult position....not sure whether to continue work in the newer version and swap out all of the blocks with broken textures....Or, go back to the previous version and continue there. Ooof!
Anyhoo.....

Still one of my absolute favourite Fantasy Celtic Tracks to listen to.
BrunuhVille's music is inspirational to listen to.

My partner and I hope everyone had a wonderful Pride Month this year.
