awesome work dnl! I haven't replied to your first version, but i have seen it and i really liked it. This second version is even cooler! Very well build and awesome landscaping! I also really like this idea of an evolving castle build!
Keep it up, and i'm looking forward to your next stages!

Wow, Daniel, great work again. I love the way it's evolved. The buildings look really great; especially the one attached to the stone tower. I also like the way the trees have grown.
And by the way, that one using the heart-shaped leaf pieces is great.

Getting even more impressive DNL, I'm loving the collapsing into quarters and also the offset in the tower. It looks like the wall is almost growing as well and I can see the rough shape of (what might become) a gatehouse already. Very nice, and fast too, I'd have taken way longer than you if it was me, at this rate I'll be looking at stage 3 in a week.
Great stuff,

When I was a lad my mother told me that if I stood around all day with my mouth open a weasel was liable to mistake it for his den and jump right in. If you have something to say, say it, otherwise, beware of weasels.

Simply magnificent . I dont think that I've ever seen a half stone half wooden castle posted here before. If there ever was one yours in certainley the best. I love history and the evolution of human culture and warfare so this is definitely one of my favorite mocs of all time!
Two questions about the future of this castle:(1) Will you ever make is be conquered, as this significantly changes a castles future and may damage its defences to the point of needing major repairs.(2) Around what year are you makeing the castle's last stage supposed to be, since some castles were upgraded to later house cannons and revitalize themselves. Other than those, bravo, amazing creation,

Again, I am speechless about this creation...
Ok, not too speechless to not ask the following question:
I really liked the barrels and looked at them closely. Very nice find, do I see it correctly you made them of two of these: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4424
?

Super nice MOC. I love it. And the idea is great. Do the people living there have a history? Who are they. Do they support the ruling king or are they aspiring for the crown, or secretly support opposing aspirants.

Wow! Daniel, you never cease to amaze me with your creations. How you manage to pack so much detail into your creations without making them cluttered is incredible.
This is coming along really well. I can't wait to see the future installments!
In Christ,

Re: Stage 2 -Hrothingas Castle - Castle Evolution
Good castle, yet, trust me i read these things, around the year 1100, the Normans would have built keeps for castles. still, i like the half-timbering and the wooden battlements!
