???We see it twice.
We never see the inside of wall passages. Only the outside of their arrow slits.
Even if you assume all the houses were minuscule, way smaller than any of the images we actually see of them, this still wouldn’t make sense if we used your assumption.Or maybe the houses just aren't these 10-15m tall things your scaling implicates they are, and the wall is just standard fair? Or maybe the panel is absolutely miniscule and shouldn't be used as the frame of reference to begin with given you're working with like 1-5px scale. Or maybe there's alternate way to scale it. Or maybe a bunch of things, but 60m? If you don't see the problem there that's a personal issue.
Since absolutely none in Frieren are that big, with most actually falling in line with what you'd expect realistically excluding the capital, but speaking of that, if not even the capital of the continent's fortified wall is that big, we have a huge issue. And when you obtain your value via scaling of a tiny panel, guessing via roads, that are like barely drawn and could be anywhere from like 2m to like 20m, like legit ong we don't know, I wouldn't call that the right choice of action.
Also surely you can not be serious? My point isn't complex enough for you to try to pull that "didn't you just say" slop.
If you, and you are, using baseline averages, in your own words, then, every single possible average known to man, denies your presumptions, you are factually incorrect.
The wall is on the order of ten times the height of the houses. When exactly is the last time you saw a city house in Frieren or IRL that was 70cm-1m tall? Let alone for a town where all the close up shots show at least 2 storeys?
You found zero info on the average width of inter-wall passages. The width of the wall is not the width of its internal passages, unless you want to assume the wall is entirely hollow. Which is useless since the whole point of this was to find the percentage of empty space within the wall rather than making an assumption.And this doesn't even work, you said there's no info on averages for that type of shit, evidently you didn't look very hard because it took me a total of five minutes to find about a dozen, with the averages being like 3-5m tops. And very large ones being not even 1/3rd yours.
???Actual castles.
Also you just proved my point, they aren't meant to accommodate significant traffic, yet yours are bigger than some of the largest in history. Isn't that a bit of a red flag to you? That's rhetorical, your assumptions, which is what they are mind you, lead to inflated results and vastly inconsistent sizes.
Also lmao what? "horses up spiral-", who the hell is putting horses there?
Why are we headcannoning now? Or did you somehow misinterpret me saying the gate needs to be wide enough for horses to mean they're shoving horses up goddamn STAIRS?
I am talking about the wall passages between towers. Y’know, what all the arrow slits are for. This has nothing to do with the gate.
Arrow slits are tall and thin. How tall they are has nothing to do with how wide they are. Yet you were the one trying to use it as a reference to avoid using the road.Also that's another thing, why would the arrow slits be like, the size of a house in and of itself? That kind of defeats the point no? To protect and be thin enough to attack outward but to prevent infiltration or attacks landing within?
The final result was off by 17%. Not some intermediary step.being off by 17% which is quite a bit given volume cubes,
I spent literally hours implementing your complaints. And then you switch up on a dime. And then nitpick your own suggestions.yet still even then it's inflated because you didn't use the proper formula or even that good of a panel to do it from, your entire premise is based off assumptions and guesswork, and instead of actually listening you've opted to argue it as if it isn't all easily fixed that could've been done in like 15m.
Measuring Weise’s density? Nevermind, you wasted hours and now I’m gonna mock you over something I suggested. Using a different reference on panel? Oh nevermind, instead of “5 different ways” to get the size of the town, apparently measuring it at all is pointless.
You honestly sound like a parody of yourself.I don't give a damn if you don't like it man, it needs to be said, that isn't mocking, that isn't even condescending, unless you somehow thought "what are we doing chat", was condescending, in which case no really, because what ARE you doing?
Lol conveniently leaving out half of your post."Yeah no stopping you right there. Not how this works, they're two completely different towns. If you want to calc it, figure out a way to get that town, which mind you, there's at least 5 ways to do so off the 3 panels we get, not that completely different town. Both being fortified means nothing, you're not even using the fortification as reference but a completely random building, which in and of itself has problems, but most towns in Frieren are fortified, including major capitals, why would a major capital be the same size as some random town? If we followed your logic to get the size, it'd be the same even though we know both implicitly and explicitly they aren't."
This? Hate to break it to you but this was the nice way of putting it, not that there's anything even wrong with that to being with.
Nothing in there is antagonistic or condescending, it's literally saying no you can't do that shit, here is why, and here's an example to clarify why this is faulty based on your logic. But hey if that's condescending and antagonistic, well, I'd much rather have things be done right as opposed to letting blatant falsehoods slip by.
Held’s town is clearly closer in size to Weise in size and make than the giant capital or the small outpost you posted. And it is more like using the size of a window in New York as a reference for the size of a window in Boston, and then having someone lose their mind over the fact that they are in different cities even days after a different reference was chosen.You're missing the point entirely.
Ignoring the fact you think calling you out on egregious calc premises is "mocking" as opposed to doing what anyone here should be doing on sight.
You argued that because it looks vaguely like Weise, Weise is a solid equivalent, because they're both fortified towns.
My point is that's completely arbitrary, we see dozens of towns in Frieren with fortified walls, some dense, some not, some big, some small. Your picking of the largest example outside of the capital, makes no sense, what makes it a better pick than THAT town for example? Or the handful of other? That's rhetorical, absolutely nothing, because they're all different towns, as such, you calc THAT town, not Weise, not that town I used as an example to show you HOW they're all different that you somehow misinterpreted as me saying calc that one instead, you calc the town in question, because that's what being effected. nothing more, nothing less.
Which isn't exactly a good enough sample size, especially when you're using, again, this completely different dense town as a baseline for building density clutter.
Because it was too small a sample size.Good question, why aren't you using them?
The fact that at ton of the shots of the actual town houses are shown with steps, and are clearly adding a substantial thickness between floors and ceilings?Who's counting flooring on the bottom story for a first story house build directly on brick roading?
And ceiling? Lad that's just a handful of cms extra, add like 10cm if ya want ig.
Also that's a bit odd given I gave sources that have both the bottom and top floor listed.
Weise's building density, not that it matters because this isn't Weise,
Doesn't matter, it has a fortified wall does it not?
Or maybe they're two different towns and treating them as the same is absolutely asinine?
YOUR. IDEA. I was the one that led with an eyeball estimate from the densely packed overview of Held’s town in contrast with Weise. And yet you told me to measure Weise. Which I did. Over hours.You didn't calc a sample size, you calced a sample size for this OTHER town, not this one.
I mean, if need be I can get a CGM to tell you to change it, because this is absolutely not ok.
Then stop with this nonsense of moved goalposts and just say you disagree with the premise and leave it at that.Then DON'T calc it, this isn't complex. Figure out a different method to calc the feat, there's legit 3 different ways to get a value from it besides relying on the town.
I wanted to calculate this largely to satisfy my own curiosity.
I’m not even going to try to bother to figure out your rationalization for not the buildings being tall but instead the entire population being significantly shorter.Lad, most people are like her height or a lil bit taller, but even being a head taller than her is still firmly manlet range.
Macht IS tall, and he's ong probably the only dude who isn't an actual manlet and just normal because of it.
I am 100% done indulging you. If you want to get a calc for this feat evaluated make one yourself.Regardless, fix it, or don't, but if ya don't, we obv can't use it.
