In this thread, I will document all progress on Lakedaemon.
Lakedaemon is known by modern culture as Lakedaemon, however, I will be doing my best to move away from the stereotypes of the modern day and establishing a strong historical viewpoint on Lacedaemonian life. This project is meant to emulate the cultures of 429BC, not base itself of partially false stereotypes of modern fan cultures. To assist in this, I will refer to the city as Lakedaemon, it's inhabitants as Lacedaemonians, and the ruling warrior caste as Spartiates.
This is the work done so far on Lakedaemon. Just some basic meshwork and it's acropolis. The buildings will be changed.
I intend for Lakedaemon to have a strong nationalist-like atmosphere, with banners bearing the capital Lamda ^ sign around the place, strong use of the bright red that Spartiates were famous for wearing. Buildings won't be marble, most of them will be plaster and mudbrick (Lakedaemon was also famous for it's simple buildings, as a result, almost nothing is left of the classical city at all).
