I've been vaguely designing my city according to magical medieval city guide for a bunch of weeks now. Is fun, but it ends up with some numbers I don't agree with. Like, at the moment, my city has 377 taverns, 110 inns, and 9 restaurants. In a city of 8K people. Even medieval Norwich, at around 10K, had only a pub for every day. That's like 120 extra pubs there. Norwich also managed a church for every Sunday. That's one of the highest church densities around, apparently. So when my MMC numbers reckon there's 117 religious buildings, something needs tweaking. Especially since I didn't actually want churches. Wanted secular, like Star Trek, only with magic and zombies. Because zombies are going to push a society one of two ways, religiously, and this one decided as the dominant that zombies meant every religion ever was wrong, and there's just meat. So a few of those religious buildings are secret religious cults, who went hyper religious instead, but I have to decide what to do with the other 110.
Outside the walls there are 16 buildings, and they belong to the Rangers. Most of the warrior types in the city are either caravan guards or city guards. They basically hope zombies stay away, and if they turn up they'll just try hitting them or burning them until they stop moving. Rangers are zombie specialists. ( Read more... )
The other nearly 100 religious buildings?
I need to figure out what religions do with their buildings, and just strip the god out of it.
So there are:

There's probably other things churches do. I don't know, haven't gone since school.
Today it is cleaner day and I should probably do my half of the work. It's not long since last cleaner day because xmas rescheduling, so my half should be pretty quick.
Also I need to put on proper clothes. Stupid pyjamas stupid broke again, yet another Tesco set with seams not up to scratch. I hung up all the laundry to dry but I'm not sure it's done yet. It has rather stacked up while I was ill.
I need to put another load in as well. I shall do that now, because it's late enough to not be antisocial any more.
