Fortified Farm House (24"×36")

A fortified farmhouse battlemap, drawn from Tibetan architecture & based on the climate of the cold nomadic steppes! Here is where the richest of the local land-lords oversees their fields from, inside an ancestral home built up over generations. It may not look like much, but compared to the stone cottage neighbors, this luxurious manor is a veritable baron's keep, and can keep out any raiders that may come past!

Which is why you, as a GM, have the raiders burn the fields.

Thoughts

The lower half of the map doubles as a smaller crossroads map, if you crop out the farmstead.
Thorn-bushes are used as cattle-herding barriers. Don't let people charge through them for free!
There's a ladder embedded in the cellar wall for extensions or secret escape routes if need be.
The watchtower gong can be used to announce to the field workers, but it might also signal approaches, or be used to wake the residents...

Fortified Farm House: A two-story defense-oriented manor overseeing the local steppe valley.
Dry: A drier, more barrel plateau grasslands for a more foreboding or remote feel. Or for the dry season, where locals might beg for rain deities' assistance.
Winter: Pray it doesn't last too long ... and that nothing creeps up the walls in the dead of night.
Desert: The manor's been moved to a desert!
Fire: Someone's lit the fields ablaze! Did they breach the walls?
Wasteland: A cold stone wasteland in the barren brown mountains! What few would willingly live here?
Canopy Overlays: Built for VTT canopy usage!
Day/Night Variants: Wherever applicable!
