Beginners Pool/Pool

[Allumeuse]

Zigaboogado suggests the pool also can be used to keep the ducks and perhaps also can be used to keep the fish. I think that another word that might be good to use to describe this pool is pond, or spring.

Perhaps a pool can only be dug where a well point is found? There are open wells of this nature often built. it becomes the choice of the player if they will make the below ground sprig to have the windlass and capstan or if it will be at the ground level

Also, if you look at aerial archaeological survey in Britain at least you can see where a village has existed in Medieval time and where was the duck pond kept by the village as part of the common. The village moves as the soil is exhausted and the fields are left to be fallow. A new pond is dug at the new location and the old pool disappears in time leaving only a depression in the ground. A hundred and fifty or two hundred years later, the villagers move on and the pool is abandoned again.

So often they dug pools in the past and it has some historical precedent.

I think that it would be good to have such a pool as a factor which can increase the q of the domestic animals the way that the beehive increases the growth speed of the plants.

I love ducks.

So in this case +1

You're talking about "practicing swimming", as though swimming were a skill value which is upgraded by being in water. If you want to swim more safely, invest in constitution. H&H has enough ridiculous things in it, the last thing it needs is paddling pools.

Now, breeding fish (and ducks)? Do want.

That's be cool, to farm fish. But nobody figured that out for awhile... Maybe placing large nets in rivers?

Swimming in the pool could also increase stamina.

How does something that litterally is a death bomb for stamina make it increase stamina. If anything it should decrease it as fast as plowing without a plow. (Which you should try it takes up like 25% of stamina.) And kill or cause some injury thing, like -5-10 HHP once you run out, making somewhat easier than river swimming.

Sorry guys~!
I was out in Big Bear searching for houses in my family.
And I always feel refreshed when I get out of a pool.
Also, in realistic terms, the river has a current, which means your char. is constantly moving, A.K.A Not relaxing means.

It would be a cool way to introduce a new animal, ducks. I would see it like a chicken coop, except the ducks come and o as they like, you only provide food, and get meat.
