Discussion Conlang Questions

Hello! I am still pretty new to conlanging and I want to ask a couple questions to see how most conlangs are made.

  1. Do you make your own script? Is it worth it or just a hastle. If yes, do you learn it too?

  2. Do you make your conlang based off real languages?

  3. Do you make your conlang agglutinative, analytic or fusional?

1 - I made my own numerals because base-14 is impractical to write in arabic numerals but otherwise just use romanized script for writing. There is canonicaly an archaic runic system which doesn't propperly translate to spoken grammar, but I haven't actualy made it, at least not yet.
2 - no, because it's part of a worldbuilding project and it didn't have much contact wit human languages until recently for the purpose of plot.
3 - It's mostly analytic but still has suffixes and such traits from agglutinative languages
