Idea Introduction: Inspired by Mediterranean and Southern European medieval provinces, this layout focuses on rolling terraced hills, winemaking, and elegant countryside living.
What This Idea Means: A stepped layout where hill slopes are transformed into flat agricultural tiers supported by stone retaining walls. Features include press houses, wine cellars, olive orchards, terraced gardens, and an Italianate medieval villa atop the crest.
How to Make It: Carve a gentle hill into 3 to 5 flat horizontal steps. Edge each step with Mud Brick or Sandstone retaining walls. Plant sweet berry bushes, oak leaf hedges, and cocoa beans on fences to mimic grapevines and orchards. Construct a warm-toned plaster villa at the peak using Smooth Sandstone, Terracotta, and Dark Oak roofs.
Tips & Variations / Needs to Make That Thing:
Palettes: Terracotta, Granite, Smooth Sandstone, Oak Leaves, and Dark Oak.
Variation: Add a hillside stone aqueduct carrying water to the crops.
Needs: Sandstone, terracottas, leaves, composters, and water channels.
