Do you guys like castles
Original formula, before FDA regulations forced everything to get huge
Simple Castles: for when you need to throw up a quick fuck-you to the mongols
One of my favorites. Siege Armies BTFO
An Anon in the thread I stole this from pointed out how useless the siege towers were
I should have made this thread when all the burgers were still awake. They love castles cause they don't have any

They would be actively counterproductive. The attackers are lugging around heavy towers that can't even reach the tops of the walls.
>>51330845
Even if you put miniature catapults in them what's the point
>>51330841
All we got are these shitty water forts
>>51330939
Nvr forget

To your credit your guys most famous castle was a church in texas and you somehow held out with 14 settlers and maniac in a coonskin hat
Ridiculous castles are still castles
>>51330841
It's true. My retirement dream is to get something built by the people over at http://www.castlemagic.com/ to hold games and parties in while lording it over the countryside.
Pic related, it's one they did.

The mexican-american war was a mistake

looks pretty comfy not going to lie desu

Beautiful. Bonus points if you buy the surrounding land and force people to pay you taxes in wheat
Island castles are the best castles.

But then I gotta get an heir and a standing force of men at arms to keep peace and all that work...
But then again I do own a little land in Scotland...
This next one's a five-parter

It's like the book "if you give a mouse a cookie"
>If you build yourself a manor, then you have to build walls
>If you build walls, then you have to dig a moat
>If you dig a moat, then you need a drawbridge
Pretty soon your little patch in scotland looks like Minas Tirith
>>51330773
That's more a citadel than a castle.

I'm more interested than I have any right to be

So that nobody can set up camp nearby without your permission.

You missed one.

Holy shit, thank you anon, had no idea my collection was incomplete
If Nazgul taught us anything, it's that flying creatures beat fortifications
>You see Ivan, walls are useless if you eat everyone manning them
Really giant things in general make for great siege-breakers
Does anyone have that pic where some imperial soldiers from WHFB are looking over the battlements and a greater demon is scaling the wall towards them?

>civilization don't rise and fall under the shadow of your castle
>your castle's garden isn't the schwartzwald
>the lord of all death doesn't live in your backyard
>your court alchemist isn't a dragon
>you don't have an indiana jones temple as a portcullis
>your castle isn't held up by the a physical manifestation of laws of eternal recurrence
Why even bother having one desu.

I like how the parishioners leaving church must pass the gibbet to get home.
If you can't tell, I'm kinda scrapping the bottom of the folder at this point
>besiege any fortress in china
>wacky asian hijinks ensue
Again, I know these aren't the best castle pictures, I'm looking for another folder where more sweet, sweet castles might be found
>>51331976
The effort is much appreciated.
Found It, we're back in business
If the castles in your setting aren't full of mud you're not doing it right
