Very nice. I never thought about putting the tent on the cart [even if it is historically accurate]. You should try to build one on a slightly larger scale, which would make it even more accurate. Well done.

For architecture, I like the western style better.

Hmm...interesting poll. I wouldn't be comfortable choosing either option.

EAST!!! :P

Where the sun rises and a new day begins. There's been tons of European Castle things already. Ninja was a nice little sidestep, but you still have:

-Steppe cultures (Mongol, Turkic, Slavic, Scythian, and etc.)
-CHINAAAA!!!
-Korea
-Thailand (Siam)
-Mid-Eastern/Arabic Sultanates

Check this out from the movie HERO.... Although not medieval (set several hundred BC during the time of the Warring States Period; just look at the armies that China fielded).

Firstly, I like the cart and I like the concept.

As for your poll I have to vote Eastern (assuming pre-16th Century). There were so many interesting things happening while Europeans were busy slaughtering each other while they weren't killing themselves.

Absolutely.

I think there are great elements from each, & although I concentrate on Western style architecture I like to explore Eastern styles too. I don't think one is better than the other - they should be celebrated equaly

PS - Nice cart :D

Of course not. I find the far east the most interesting though.
