I don't know why I'm asking this, but I'm just looking for ideas for a new castle project...

The reason I didn't put those specific castles on the poll was because I wanted one big castle from each faction. I cut those two out because 1. The King's Mountian Fortress in on high ground. 2. The Black Knights Castle was bigger and had more troops then the Black Monarchs Castle.I went with Misc, because the best ones aren't even in the poll. As previously mentioned, the King's castle (6080), Black Monarch's castle (6085), and the Yellow Castle (375) are the easiest to defend. All three of these have complete walls, towers, and gates. But more than that, they came with enough figs to actually put up a fight. Vladek's Dark Fortress is a cool set, but fig wise it can't compete. After all, it only has four defenders.
Right, I think.I don't know about Vladek's, but I was under the impression it was only a facade... Is this right, or is it like 6080?
Nice reviews but I still miss 6080TheOrk wrote:After thinking on it for a day here's what I think.![]()
Yellow Castle:8/10
It's got four walls and a couple towers and enough defenders to have a successful defense and have a mounted counter attack. If one section falls, there are other spots in there to defend from. The reason it doesn't get a 10/10 is because it doesn't have very good ranged troops.
Castle of Morcia:6/10
This is on high ground and has a couple weapons to take out siege engines. Once the four corner points fall, the defenders will most likely be slaughtered in the middle. May a wall of some sort will be more defend able.
King's Mountain Fortress:9/10
It's also on high ground and has walls. It will take a lot of men to take it, but then they can counter attack with their horsemen.
Black Knight's Castle:10/10
It has all the same things as the king's Mountain Fortress but is bigger and has a bigger garrison.
Fire Breathing Fortress:8/10 or 5/10
This is more of a big outpost then castle. Not much to say really, if you count the dragon and wizard, the invaders will lose a lot more men though.
Royal Knight's Castle:8/10
This is like the Black Knight's Castle in design,only slightly weaker. The back walls are weak, but there are enough defenders.
NightLord's Castle:4/10
It has walls, but not a very good design, once the enemy is in the courtyard, it's pretty much over.
King Leo's Castle: 7/10
Marginally better then the Castle of Morica because of a marginally better design.
Vladek's Dark Fortress: 9.75/10
This is easily the biggest and strongest castle, but it only has three sides and needs a huge number of troops to defend it.
Wow that was a lot.
Well, I believe that what makes we think like this is what comes to walls and defenses, as other said before. But we can see that some castles rely on other factors (Vladek's mask, dragons, wizards) to counter other weaknesses.Shadow wrote:TLG doesn't make strong castles, they don't really think that over.
