Guedelon castle is nearly finished
>>64363757Huh, pretty neat
>tfw ywn
>guys will see this and just think "hell yeah"
>knights really live in manors like this and see no issue
>>64363821Wasn't this going to be painted?
>>64363861
>>64363757Nice.
>>64363804Hell yeah!
>>64363757Very cool project but I wonder why there are no shutters for the windows. Glass windows were not commonly used in castles until the Tudor era and what glass was used was mostly hand-me-downs recycled from the Roman era.
>>64363922they have no glass, I think they use screens made of stretched pig stomach
>>64363757Beautiful. I should get back on KCD. Has anyone played the second one?
>>64363804Yeah, unironically. Hell yeah.
>>64363868damn that's prettygives you some real comfy vibes>>64363941Found an article which says they use linen that is stiffened with beeswax. >https://archaeology.org/issues/september-october-2025/features/how-to-build-a-medieval-castle/
>>64363757Looks comfy, now to build a trebuchet and demand niggas nearby start paying their taxes
>>64363757i think the craziest thing about projects like this is it highlights how europeans dont have jobs and can fuck around for half the year
>>64364264>it's completely unacceptable you have free time for leisure and pursuing your own interests>why aren't you desperately slaving away to eke out a meager existence
>>64363804I feel seen. I fucking love stone domes, hell yeah.
>>64364282isnt this their actual full time job as academics? would imagine they have to do something else in the winter but this isnt exactly lazy busywork
>>64364264shalom!
Hell yeah!
>>64364264There's a lot of people full time employed to build it and handle the other aspects of the business, they get paid by the ticket sales from visitors
>>64364264Building a castle with your bros is peak white culture. Fuck off kike
>>64363757Excellent, I shall begin siege preparations within the fortnight
>>64363958they ruined the second one with forced unskippable nigger worship, jew aid missions and made Henry gay, not even joking. those start well into the game so you can play the initial sections fine but i don't recommend giving them money for this. also the second game has crossbows.
>>64364306there are both employed people and volunteers, including students on site
>>64363757Comfy castle thread
>>64363804Wrong. I saw this and thought "fuck yeah".
>>64364264>humanity exists to create shareholder valuegigacucked
>>64364264burger here, kys retard
>>64363757>let's build a medieval castle in a medieval way>pretty much just becauseSupremely based.>>64363821Get a roaring fire going and it's going to be comfortable in winter. Stay inside in summer and all that rock is going to keep things nice and cool.>>64364264Nigger, it's a bunch of nerds doing this in their off time over a span of decades because they love the idea of it. Building a medieval castle because you think it's cool is 100% as valid as building your own machinegun because you think it's cool.
>>64365089>in their off timethey just so happen to live within commuting distance of a french castle? get the fuck out of my face with that bullshit
>>64364684>>64364418>>64364319just an observation, thanks for the cope and seethe
>>64364306The idea of someone calling hard and old fashioned construction labor as "lazy" is sheer comedy.They're doing EVERYTHING the period way.>>64364418This.>>64365103lmao
>>64365103youropeans have this thing called paid time off. the french on average have 35 days of it and are required by law to take their days or their employer gets fined.
>>64365089>pretty much just becauseIt's called experimental archaeology.
>>64363804Hell yeah fuck yeah
Just in time for the collapse of France
>>64365570>algerian gangs besiege guedelon castle, 2033 AD, colorized
>>64364477I generally agree and as always get it for free before buying so you know if it's any good but at least gay Henry is avoidable and you can fuck women (or be a medieval incel) like normal.It's fucked they put it in anyway because while I could stomach jews and a muslim (should have been white though), catering to gay shippers made talking about the game impossible online.
>>64363804Hell yeah.
>>64365611Checked n' rollin'.
There really should be more medieval castles in general. Maybe they don't need to be built the strictly period accurate way but still.
>>64364264An even crazier thing is that someone might think like this. God forbid we live a life even slightly detached from mental poverty.

>>64363757>meanwhile at the /k/ fortress monastery...
>>64365705how the fuck did you retards manage to clog the sewage system???its literally just a hole in the floor that dumps into the moat
>>64363757https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn6jpxCqcFchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDNXmPOvZE4It's an incredibly comfy watch.
>>64365793Pretty good anon.When does /k/ storm the castle?
>>64365778Brother Anonius... the whole moat's clogged with shit.
>>64363804fuck yeah, but also GIWTWM
>>64365108>i'm not saying anything>i'm just sayingfuck off kike
>>64365815>build the castle for years, learning the techniques and materials used by actual craftsmen centuries ago>construction_complete.wav>proceed to siege the castle for years, learning the tactics and weaponry used to storm and defend actual fortifications centuries ago
>>64365832>subject yourself to a gruelling 6month long siege starvation and all.>write paper about it>gets cited 5 time>next experimental archaeology project is about suicide bombers
>>64365832We may joke but that legit would be one hell of an attraction and good research material.
>>64365832>guys we are losing the battle>okay.... pierre, take 20 people and join their side so it's fair
>>64365793based historic farm bros
>>64365855>TF2 auto balance memes become real
>>64364264The reason there's so many grand churches and other buildings like that in Europe is because in medieval times the peasantry only had to labor 6 months of the year and had the rest of it off.
anonsnow i wanna build something
>>64365871not quite,they had a lot of time off but most of those where religious feat days, you weren't supposed to work on those.the rest of them was the winter and other periods of time when you couldn't work the farm, but you also couldn't get much else done the real reason is that every city in Europe had a bit of a feud or rivalry going on with the next city over and big and impressive buildings was a way to one up them. Must of those construction projects also took decades to finish some even centuries in multiple fazes. they'd be build by a relatively small professional workforce funded by extra taxes, levies and donations from guilds whom once again where trying to one up the other guilds.much like Guedelon those where generational projects with work starting and stopping when funding ran out
>>64365894>some even centuries in multiple fazesinb4 cologne cathedral
>>64365103Do you have any idea just how many castles there are in Europe?
>went to malbork a few times in my life>each trip was multiple hours of walking aroundhighly recommend it to anyone interested in castles, shit is fucking huge
>>64365969>malborkMarienburg
>>64365917que?
>>64366001Its basically swampland iirc.
>>64366006plus the hugonot wars and being on the losing side of the hundred years war probably involved some getting torn down
>>64365103> muh commuting timeThe absolute state of mindbroken Americans; unaware that the rest of the world isn’t also a suburban hellscape where one must drive their cuckbox for 30min to get anywhere
>>64364264That's right my mutt. You jelly? Aren't you happy working three jobs so you can afford housing not infested by urban youth and support your greatest ally?
>>64365855>When Burgundy switches sides in the 100 years war reenactment.
>>64365894>>64365871Also building a bigass church for 3 centuries was a jobs program to keep the kinds of skills needed to build military fortifications alive during stretches of peacetime>>64365103There's a fuckton of them, you can buy one for about 500k - I lived in one for a year, purchased by some Australians
>>64366022>a suburban hellscape where one must drive their cuckbox for 30min to get anywhereamericans have half the commute time of europoors though and driving through suburbs is a breeze compared to euro city gridlock with zero parking space
>>64366022If you're walking to a castle to work on it you have to live right fucking next to it, like sub 5 miles.
>>64366001landes was an absolutely uninhabitable swampland until the late 1800's when france undertook the biggest terraforming project in history and planted a massive forest to drain the swampthe area had interesting culture with all the peasants learning to walk on stilts as children because it was the only way to move around but they are still poor to this day
>>64366099US and EU average commute times are strangely similar at about half an hour>>64366084you wouldn't be building your castle when war broke out. by the time it's done you got fucked or it's peace again.nor would the cities and religious institutions commissioning cathedrals and civic buildings have cared about keeping the skill set alive for castle building.you are looking at it from a far to modern frame of reference.
>>64363804Hell yeah brother
>>64366119>US and EU average commute times are strangely similar at about half an houronly italy has half hour commutes in EU
>>64366124you are using https://transportgeography.org/contents/chapter8/transportation-urban-form/average-commuting-time/a) that's a old survey from 2014b) it's urban onlyc) it's from research conducted by a board of trade with presumably the intent to affect policy I'm using the 2019 eurostat survey for the average EU commute timehttps://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Main_place_of_work_and_commuting_time_-_statistics#:~:text=67.4%20%25%20respectively).-,Commuting%20time%20for%20majority%20of%20European%20workers%20is%20less%20than,their%20main%20place%20of%20work.

>>64363757it would've been done years ago if they just used power tools, idiots
>>64366280Didn't they cut the working week to 4 days in the UK, found it legit caused their workers to be more productive and generate more money, but they scrapped it as the toffs didn't like the idea of the plebs haven't any free time?>>64366360In the past I would have considered this bait. These days there are genuinely people this retarded.
>>64366370plebs having any free time*Fuck I turned into a pajeet!
>>64366370It's probably not even up to code, someone should call an inspector before someone gets hurt
>>64366280You joke, but in France we can actually force our employer to let us work part time:For up to 3 years after the birth of your child, you can demand to work less (to a minimum of 16 hours a week), and your employer cannot refuseYou obviously only earn a prorata portion of your previous salary
>>64366370>Didn't they cut the working week to 4 days in the UK, found it legit caused their workers to be more productive and generate more money, but they scrapped it as the toffs didn't like the idea of the plebs haven't any free time?Reducing hours by doing either 4x8 or 5x6 has been proven to almost always increase productivity, especially in office jobs. There are obviously fields where it doesn't do anything (customer service, factory line work).
