Alright Yea Forums, tell me what YOUR ideas for fun fantasy isekai cities are. Bonus points if you make them relatively realistic for what you would see in a medieval setting with magic, heroes, and demon lords.

If they were going to be using the same design, they could've at least showed it at a different angle in each different series.

why? just make your own fantasy setting instead, isekai shit is literally just dragon quest for suicidal neets
abe should ban this shit
Ryan Morgan
Underground, perched on a mountain, floating in the sky, on the water and everyone travels by boats ala Venice. There's dozens of options.
Gavin Murphy
There are some instances where cities expanded to such an extend that finding good farmland was impossible so a lot of food was imported, of course the pic is nowhere close to it.
Leo Murphy
Civilization built upon the ancient, high-tech ruins of an alien civilization that nobody knows how to actually utilize aside from living space.
Villagers who live in an abandoned demon lord's castle and mistakenly worship him as a god
shit man, idk.
Jonathan Campbell
Not mine nor original but one can't go wrong with port towns.
Xavier Cook
At least there are rivers, imagine building a city in a middle of nowhere without body of water in sight.
One of them is konosuba what are you going to farm cabbages that fight back?

David Gutierrez
Would make nice ruins of fallen advanced civilization some 500 years in the future.
Colton Evans
Of stuff like that? Okay.
Grayson Cooper
Ignoring how they all look mostly the same, what's wrong with it? It looks like a functional city with all the necessities covered. If a design is good, why change it?
My only real gripe here is why the fuck are they all circular. Can't they extend the walls to the farmlands too?
William James
Brayden Hernandez
FUCK yeah user
Jace Adams
An entire fortress city built with enough research in functionality.
Wizards are like cannons with extra different ammunition. Decrease the size of walls. Inclease the elevation of counter cannons
Dragons are just planes with flame throwers. Tactical spacing and each house must have a fortified cellar
Army with huge numbers wanna try their luck?
Road ways are interlocking, straight forward canals where every single defender on the roof and window has overlapping angle of defense. And due to the angular designs of the streets, they would have fight for every corner. No such thing as kill the keep or take over the towers on this one.
Ensure that food and water is secured by having a river flowing and build a lot of wells in case they try to poison shit. Surround the town with farmland that would be harvested and immediately razed should any invader try to come. The mud of the farmsoil would do wonders against the heavy soldiers and their siege engines.
Jack Peterson

oh no no no no

Ancient hamlets using rivers and high guard posts instead of walls, preferably by hills and with the ruins of an old castle overlooking the populous.

Aren't circular walls easier to defend? And I'm pretty sure that hexagonal shape gives the best perimeter to surface ratio.
Jayden Clark
mud huts that go up cliffsides and pits of stairs that go down and then further into the cliff
you know, a setting where the hero would become known as a saviour for bringing forth concepts like 'osha compliance'
Luis Wilson
Because not enough niggas know about STAR FORTS
Owen Fisher
One Piece World Govt would like to have a word with this one.

Because it is relatively easy to draw.
Something like this , on the other hand, requires a lot of more preparation behind it, to be able to depict it correctly in different angles.

Not that I don't find it beautiful but side towers seem to be obsolete. I think that attack from the sea is impossible even without them.

Nathaniel Hall
*sacks your capital*
Nothing personnel, farmer.
Christopher Sanchez
Lmao no!
Circular walls are great for deflecting stones from catapults and trebutchet as, due to angle, the stone would just bounce. A straight wall would feel the full impact
However, against cannons, that defense is useless.
Circular walls offer no strong points to defenders and, if they are on towers it literally maximixes their distance from each other.
Angular ones like the starforts are so much easier to defend as should any of the corners get penetrated, the defenders can easily concentrate on that angle alone.
Lucas Jackson
Well there is a e s t h e t i c cities and there is 'realistic' ones. I can post either.
Dylan Morales
Aren't cities like in OP the default peasant or at least middle class city in anime/JRPG fantasy?
Shit like would be for the Royal Capital or the City of Wizards or Magitech Elves.
Justin Rodriguez
Completely normal fantasy city. There’s a king, knights, nobles, peasants and the whole nine yards. The only twist is a peculiar population of human “dolls” present in the city. These “dolls”, even with a close look, are completely indistinguishable from your average stranger. They make up about 5% of the cities total population and do not eat, sleep, talk, or produce waste, they simply wander around the city aimlessly. Due to their discomforting nature, many attempts to cull this population have been tried over the years, but despite strenuous efforts, the dolls have thwarted every attempt thus far thanks to two of their seemingly innate properties.
The first property of these “dolls” is their ability to regenerate. Everything from scratches to mortal wounds heal within seconds, with clothes stitching themselves together seamlessly along with flesh. Their second property is the ability to spontaneously relocate, or teleport, under less understood conditions. Painstakingly pounding the dolls into a meaty pulp invariably results in the disappearance of flesh, blood, and entrails, along with the dolls reappearance, fully healed, several meters away. Attempts to trap the dolls similarly result in their relocation after a short period of time.
Acknowledging attempts to remove the dolls are futile, the city had long since tolerated their existence, with their presence simply treated as another part of city life.
In comes, MC. A curious boy from a neighboring city, attracted by the rumors of “mysterious dolls” in the city of (X). With his imouto, MC#2, and best friend, Skips (dog) in tow, he arrives at the city with extreme excitement and anticipation!
More of a setting but whatever.

The reason nomads faded into history is bow and arrow being the pinnacle of their technology.

This is how you go from largest world empire to backwards 3rd world country and mild genepool enrichment across Eurasia: by sitting on your ass and refusing progress.

Jose Bennett

There is, but that means you have externalized farming to your colonies or vassal city states.
Which put your city state in danger of collapsing at the first province rebellion.
Rome might had managed to last a few rounds of province rebellions, but they also had a extremely large army on top of a lot of roadwork infrastructure to maintain power.
Rome collapsed over night when land/sea trade stopped being stable enough to keep a artificially large capital floating.
Most Isekai have not worked out the logistics of sending level 20 units to randomly kill heretics to stomp rebellions, or infrastructure. Which makes any attempts at political plots moot and pointless in Isekai, when its not leaning in anything.

You guys are conflating isekai with fantasy in general.
You're summoned to a word for a reason. Civilization is on the verge of collapse. The monster hell hoards are destroying everything. Any high-fantasy architecture will surely belong to the Dark Lord. Or it all sunk into the mud once he transformed the land into a swampy wasteland.
Obviously.
Isaac Collins
>Rome collapsed over night when land/sea trade stopped being stable enough to keep a artificially large capital floating.
Stop spreading this nonsense
Rome NEVER fell.
Historians and academics at 1900's just decided to call the Rome after Romulu's death. All because the Roman society past that is Christian now than Pagan
They decided to name that version of Rome as "Byzantine Empire"

that's like saying restaurants never close. The building is still there, it just changes ownership and franchises.

Justin Hall
There a reason Rome spent most of its time stomping down rebellions in the colonies.
You either do that, or the local food production is too low, which will start out decimating the city over a few seasons, before long term famine destroys the population base and then the ability to maintain infrastructure as large public works.
Byzant is even funnier because it follows the exact same pattern: Large armies to maintain farmland and infrastructure needed to fuel Byzant.
Eventually collapses into Arabic conquest as its unable to procure enough farmland to keep a large population, and eventually being besieged and falls.

Anthony Butler
the meme about russia being "the successor of the byzantine empire" was a retcon by the self styled "czars" to try (and fail) to glean a glimmer of respect from their western neighbors.
Its historical basis is loosely hinged on the fact that the byzantines did in fact briefly hire the thugs and slaves of the varingian guards to act as their glorified mall cops.

The funny thing is, the majority of Varangian were actually from England/Wales. Well, specifically Anglo-Saxons, so, from plenty. In fact a lot of historians cite that Mexico or the USA should be considered the 3rd Rome. This is because after the fall of the WRE the majority of the Roman nobility was in Spain who left to the Americas. America DOES have a major boner for Rome. They thought the Roman's did a salute because of French Reinassance art. They never did that. They called it the Bellamy salute and used it for saluting the flag during the start of every school day. They dropped this sharply after Nazi German adopted it. So anybody calling it the 'Nazi Salute' or 'Roman Salute' are wrong.
Well it is realistic!

The entire town makes no sense. Sure, it is constructed with expeditions to the abyss in mind, but the most ideal place to build a home would not be on the crater rim but rather on the island coasts as harbours and fisheries would be vital to an isolated island. The rim around the abyss is more likely to have industrial buildings than residences.

Leo Walker
>city
Am I the only one who hates city living idealization? I'd rather a setting like rural area where there's tons of land and very little people/building. I want the scenery of nature and live without the burden of city noise/traffic.

Julian Mitchell
You misunderstand, there can be a village, but the outskirts is where the fun living is. Not the hotbed of the village. Villages are inherently smaller in population density and housing density. You've never seen villages where there's only 1-2 houses every mile or so but still retaining a common market place where everyone can still share/sell their wares.

The Byzantine empire still considered itself Rome and it's citizens still thought of themselves as Romans. Byzantine was Rome and it didn't actually fall until 1453 when it was conquered by the Muslims.

The simplest thing a circle does is maximize the area inside the walls, but that's a purely economic concern.
There's also the issue of visibility. Standing on a curved wall, the base of the wall quickly goes out of sight around the bend. You'll have blind spots unless every tower extends out far enough to see the foot of the next tower. If you wanted to defend a 100 meter diameter circle with four towers, the towers would have to stick out another 20 meters to provide full visibility. At that rate it becomes cheaper to build a square.

Yeah but it requires better material science else standard iron can break easily due to stress. That was the main problem. Even steel wires have faults but its lot less.
Technology to create thin wired steel sounds easy, until you realize you need to understand structure failure points and you need to have a cause which necessitates a stronger rope than regular rope or iron chain.

Have another sci-fi one. I don't think many (if any) sci-fi isekai's exist. You know, guy goes into another world where he's/she is dumb as a plank compared to everybody and manages to do well because in X war that is happening, nobody expects a retard to be leading an army and does shit they'd never expect because it isn't logical or whatever. I dunno. I remember seeing a comedy sketch of a grand master chess person playing an actual retard who just makes random moves and the grand master concedes because he doesn't know any of the moves the guy is doing.

This might be a good place to ask. I'm looking for a digital painting of a city above the sea.

>this magic spell allows me to teleport through great distances. YAY
>new advances in science allows me now to teleport through great distances
>time and space are the same. Teleportation device should also be a time travel device. What are you smoking?
Case 3
>corruption in the land mutated our people into those things
>radiation from the bombs from long ago has turned all life into mutants
>radiation just means that it is giving off energy. Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. If you are referring to gamma rays from nuclear radiation, all it causes is ruin your cell dna and cause death/cancer. If it got to your genes, that sperm/egg cell is just going to be infertile
And don't me started on the horrendous military strategies
If they do some research, they would find that fact is always stranger than fiction. Always
Lincoln Cooper
True, but as I said, MC could become useful by dint of being so 'stupid' compared to the other people who use logic and AI and all this shit to do things and he just does simple human world equiv things to succeed. A bit like street smarts vs smarts, but in this case it's not street smarts.

That's their excuse for the poor understanding of science?
If it's not well researched, stop calling it science.
Also, I just checked. Soft sci-fi are just drama/love/sol set on a futuristic universe. Ala Aria and Kino's Journey.

Dumbfag, pls. There are lots of speculated space drives that don't mess with time. You only need negative energy. In fact, we already know of something similar to teleportation: entanglement. Just stretch the rules a bit by handwaving the conservation of information (which, mind you, goes to whack around a black hole, leading to the "invention" of hawking radiation) and you have your teleportation device.
Not to mention we literally already have working military lasers.

Historically, the colliseum are the pride and glory of Rome. All leaders are meant to be there, especially at special times like Chariot Races.
Those places must be built precisely right next to the Emperor's throne so the Emperor can easily travel there. And by travel, I mean, he must have his own secure tunnel leading to his special front row seat on the colliseum

Problem with concrete blends is hurting or injuring workers who are not careful and some blends have to be done under certain temperatures.
However, I also wondered something. If something better than reinforced concrete and rebar is discovered, would it require more TNT to demolish such a building built with such a material?
I wonder how demolishing buildings would work a future high tech city. I can't recall any science fiction writer bothering to explain how future people will demolish future buildings.
What? Are we going to release nanomachines that will attack a building by breaking down a building's components into simpler compounds?

Halo actually has (had?

threshing grain for flour in itself is a specialty skill, as is grinding it efficiently without getting bits of the grinder in it
the point of it is that there are more and more things to worry about the more complex a product is
not to mention the types of grains they might have available, that's a big factor too
if you have to literally start from scratch on getting flour, that means you need to harvest wild and plant the grain to get enough to make it
that's a lot of work for a sandwich, but you've now saved the nobles from having to use a hand towel on their shoulder while eating food with bread
this is just kinda proving the point but yeast is actually available in the air around you all the time, it's very easy to get yeast, just modern people don't realize it

>what are they planting if not grains??
gee i dunno man maybe vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or plantains, some places even cultivated bulrushes
there are so many things they could be planting this really wasn't a question I expected
if it's medieval europe, corn wouldn't even exist because it comes from north america plant, it's a cultivar
if it was around though you wouldn't really have many people interested in the stuff unless they knew how to do flour already, corn quite literally would not exist if native americans didn't know how to make flour

pic related, excpet these are the slums outside of the city and there is a pearly white city approximating the building style build untop of and spilling over the hill on the other side, with a giant mosque on the top of the hill overlooking a market.
Seeing as there is magic in this world, towers designed to monitor magical activity will be placed semi sporadically around the slums waving banners featuring and eye placed in the middle of a hand.
The wealthy part of the city will of cause be surrounded by a wall, the slums however have popped up so recently that no wall has been build yet.
The city is facing a giant river where it receives all of its food imports, seeing as it became far too large to be supported by the surrounding oasis.
Eli Rodriguez

Parker Williams
That's the issue though. It's "medieval + magic" too much. What I like to see is isekai that show how the inclusion of magic and monsters makes the isekai world different from just standard medieval look. I mean if it's a low-fantasy series without too much of monsters and generally low amounts of supernatural stuff (e.g. Potion Loli or Shekels Loli), then I can forgive it, but if it's some sort of super duper ultra high-fantasy where three tiers below the top tier is already splitting-the-Clouds-in-the-sky tier, or where monster hordes form almost daily, then I want the world to reflect that.

I don't know much about medieval cities or siege warfare but isn't it extremely risky to have the side facing the river completely exposed, specially when there seems to be a hill on the other side of the river?

Wouldn't the lack of walls and the relatively flat terrain make it easier?
Adam Barnes
The river is pretty much a wall, but a wall that people inside the city can easily navigate because they can have docks, while for the invaders it can be annoying. Though the fact that the opposite side seems to be a high slope could mean that the invaders could set up siege engines with extra protection on that side. Also, depending on the river, an invader could send boats from upstream or even build an improvised press to leave that side wide open.
Carson Edwards
It looks nice, but building a city in the middle of a waterfall seems like a pain in the ass that serves no real purpose
Charles Price
i agree with his idea that they should build a wall, an army with a naval force could make short work of that city
Hunter Brown
the top pic city is fucked the second anyone even thoughts of besieging it, because that slope lets you lob rocks and barrels of flammables all over the place with impunity
also its placement is literal retard tier
Levi Kelly
...since when a RIVER is a "flat terrain"?
and dealing serious damages on a city the other side of a river is much harder than one might think, especially because it's unlikely they would keep anything important at enemy's reach
Best case scenario, you'd been destroying the slums, congratulation, you just doubled their GDP by killing 99% of the criminals and lowlifes in the city.
that would require a river navigable by sizeable forces, which means a completely different approach from both parties.

Most of the time they are frontier cities that are extremely close to monster/demon-infested lands so yeah, they are pretty much fortress cities.

Most of the time shit created with magic needs the caster to keep feeding it energy to exist, otherwise any faggot who learns the "create gold" spell would crash the economy.

Yeah like very village has dnd lvl20 druid!
Basic shit like enriching soil and fighting off pests or killing weeds should be manageable by low-tier shitters any village can foster by saving up for apprenticeship in the nearest town or something.

IRL those villages eventually turn into ghost towns as young people all move out of them to find jebs in the nearest city. Like Non non biyori minus the cute girls.

because this wave of isekai is based on rpgs, and starter towns are always the same

Energy is still a concern, I imagine when cheap portable renewable energy sources would become available population would spread out somewhat from the cities to form lots of self-sufficient rural communities.

I need a game like Rune Factory but with character creation so I can enjoy a slow life in some medieval fantasy village.

Solar/battery are only going to be cheaper and better. Heck, you can already do 5Kwh for $10k with batteries to last few days and have it last ~30+ years(battery might need to be changed every 10-15 years).

the ile in paris is the citadel thats why it has walls and is also an island. the river acts as a natural moat
sea walls can matter but generally arent as thick as landwalls because of the water separation and the fact that if you lost access to the docks because the enemy has naval superiority youre already in deep shit

4 hour for peak sun hour. You still ~8 hour of sun light during winter. Just not all at 100% power. This is why you invest little more in solar panel if your needs are larger.

Shitposting exists since advent of the internet what's your point? Yea Forums isn't a place for western amateur writers to get together and discuss their works. In fact it's note even a place for Japanese amateur novel authors to discuss actual process of writing.
is correct place for these topics.
Now fuck off.

A number of disparate settlements hidden inbetween rolling hills.
Close enough and connected by a robust enough infrastructure of roads and rivers to be basically one village.
But nestled so comfortably between the slopes that each cluster of buildings isn't really visible unless you're basically inside it.

Sup Shieldbro. A few days ago in the Eminence in the Shadow thread, you were asking about Sherry, if I recall correctly. Back then I was still reading WN but finished today so I can answer what happens with her if you are interested.
She leaves to pursue her education in a different town. Up until now she hasn't returned. Bigger spoilers ahead so be warned.
Her adoptive father was the one who murdered her mother. He is also a member of the cult and used to belong to the rounds. Cid kills him but Sherry sees that and mourns her father, as Shadow didn't disclose any info of her mother's murder. Soon after that she bids farewell to Cid and goes abroad.

Just go start homebrew threads on Yea Forums maybe it would stick like a drawfag one. You could take user requests for stories if you consider you and your mates capable of contributing quality isekai content to Yea Forums and not just fellate each other egos by fishing for approval
>hurr durr my story is shit here's pastebin
>oh my user it's quite good actually
>everyone jerks each other off
Because this is what you homebrewfaggots come down to if left alone.
Then Isekai threads get banned for weeks on sight before even reaching your cancerous fanfiction offtopic.
I start to suspect you're a bunch of butthurt shounenfags falseflagging here because their shounenshit general was banned or something.
Justin Taylor
Basically think of tudor style buildings with overhangs that cover most of the street. The lower floors of this city are made out of fire retardant materials like stone and brick. The city has a population of around 30,000 crammed into about 2.5 square miles. The culture of this city is a mixture of European, Chinese, and Hebrew. Finally the city is on a network of Canals and primitive narrow gage railways (still possibly in a fantasy Isekai) that connect the ground level of the city together.
Aiden Garcia

Jason Adams
No, thanks. I will just keep posting in isekai threads like I have been doing before autistic newfags came here trying to police them.
And isekai threads get banned for weeks for reason that have nothing to do with homebrews. You have been claiming the same stupid shit for days despite the people who were actually there telling you that the homebrew autism died for different reasons and that the banning spree was a thing before people even started writing their own shit.
As shown by these thread, the people who are actually in charge of enforcing the rules seem to be more bothered by your autistic shitposting than by people talking about fantasy.
Gabriel Powell
Just make floating cities and bombard from above. Most demons can't fly plus your can dump your shit at them.

>I will just keep posting in isekai threads
>posting fanfics on Yea Forums
So offtopic then, gotcha.
>who were actually there telling you
Well then they weren't actually there: it was disgusting discord trannies Sodom and Gomorrah of homebrews in these threads before mino got vacayed and all isekai threads started to get banned on sight.
You damn right homebrewfaggotry subsided but only because you roaches didn't have a thread on Yea Forums since you got them all permabanned for a while.
Now you cunts are started to rearing your ugly fanfiction heads again even going as far as lashing out on anyone telling you to fuck off.
This is going to happen again if you faggots don't stop: threads will degenerate, then purged for weeks THEN you'll be careful for a month then history repeats itself again.
I say again:
Fuck off with your shitty fanfics they're not Yea Forumsnime and m/a/nga related and you're so weak-willed that you cannot help but turn these threads into a cesspool of gutter-tier writers validation circlejerk.

You faggots driving what was once isekai anime, manga and novels threads wildly off-topic with your shitty fanfics did not help one bit.
Oliver Reed
Small town people are definitely comfy but doctors with few but frequent patients are bound to get attached and when that patient dies, you will as well
Luis Campbell
Avatarfagging and posting those lists in every thread was the reason the thread nuking intensified.
Sure, homebrews had something to do with it, so did literally every series mentioned in those lists.
As long as people don't start posting templates or avatarfagging again, the threads will keep getting nuked at the usual pace. People talking about shitty fanfics in a thread where WNs and chink and gook novels are allowed won't change shit.
Your constant faggotry is more disruptive and is more likely to get threads deleted than the shit you are complaining about.
Daniel Peterson
>people don't start
They will if not told to fuck stop or fuck off. It's the same pattern. Nobody thought of posting that Yea Forums shit here weeks after the purges and now they're starting to smear fetish stories all over again.
Owen Morgan
jahy isn't a homebrewer, and mainly served to give pastebins separating isekai into genres so new readers could easily find a bunch of shit they like.
even during the purge you could shill with near impunity. like TNE still posting links on a daily basis the entire time, even making threads.
only shilling that got a notable ban was shieldbro posting poison user.
the thing that killed homebrews was the average anons inability to write more than 5 chapters without getting burned out and giving up on writing altogether
Thomas Kelly
>Yea Forumsnon is creatively inept from media overdose

Benjamin James

Cooper Baker
>They will if not told to fuck stop or fuck off
If you really thing that your whining is doing anything then you are fucking dellusional. If people want to talk about that shit then they will talk about that shit, the only thing that would actually kill homebrew faggotry would be people not wanting to talk about it any longer and the few who try not getting a single reply.
Your autism does nothing other than make you look like a faggot and derrail threads.
And, for the millionth time, people stopped talking about homebrew shit because most series stopped getting updated once the initial wave of enthusiasm died out. The purges only accelerated that.
Jordan Watson
More like user forgot he is a procrastinating faggot and actually thought he would actually be able to keep a pace of 4 chapters per week for more than a few months.

Don't worry, I already know you are a retard who just repeats the same shit while ignoring anything other people tell you.
I wouldn't even give you any (You)s if this thread wasn't about to die anyway.
>user thinks everyone write on the fly
They did write on the fly. If they had a decent backlog of chapters that they posted at a reasonable pace then they would have been able to keep their series active for months.
They went in with either an extremely small backlog or not backlog at all, started uploading 4 chapters per week (some even did 7 per week) and it was all fine and dandy till eventually they fell in a slump or couldn't write due to IRL stuff or whatever and their small or non-existent backlong could only cover their asses for one week. After that keeping their previous pace probably became a chore and they barely uploaded a few more chapters before going into hiatus.
In the case of anons like the Healslut and Fodder user it was pretty easy to see when they went from uploading stuff from their backlog to being forced to write new chapters.
