[CONCEPT]Nomadic shelters
I thought it would be cool to have some nomadic settlements in the desert and when I read the source information and knew I wouldn't be breaking the lore (
 ) it sealed the dealSource: "...What this established, in a more understandable sense, was a rotational power base in which both sides of khajiit society, the city-dwellers under the nobility and the nomadic tribes of the desert chieftains, shared alternate control of the region based on the phases of Masser and Secunda..." I imagined the shelters to be in groups of between 2-5, being made out of whatever materials could be scavanged, probably a light wooden frame, covered with any fabrics and cloths that could be found, similar to those of the african tribes. Here is a detailed one on its own, if someone is using these pictures as a reference I recommend this one as I spent more time on it: http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/2267/...terrc4.jpg Here is a less detail rough outline of the campsite, possibly similar to the ashlander yurt settlements of morrowind: http://img414.imageshack.us/img414/6798/...entem5.jpg |

Looks good, but I don't think there would be a fire going on in there. I'd imagine the yurts to be used to get shade from the desert heat, not create more of it.

A fire for the night perhaps? It gets cold in deserts. That reminds, will we have a small (so as not to get annoying) frost damage at nights in the desert?
To answer your question, yes. But probably no.

Quote:Originally posted by Captain The idea was that the fire was for nights because it gets pretty chilly then, and also something to cook on. |

Yeah, I just remembered Desert nights are really cold after I posted. Is it possible to have a script saying that there should be a fire there from night to day?

I think the campfires in vanilla oblivion only light at night, if i remember correctly, same with the lighthouse so I'm assuming you can.

I like it, but it doesn't realy seem to fit in.

What do you think would suit the nomadic tribes more?
That is similar to what I was going for. http://www.bbc.co.uk/tribe/tribes/dassan...g_0920.jpg |

Maybe a little more cloth in the construction?
