I've got about 1700 blocks in the small keep area so far, and I started with 2 masons (currently 4) making blocks non-stop. I set 12 more people to have masonry on, but don't let them make any of the blocks so they just put the stones in for me. I suppose I could have just made it directly out of stone, but then it wouldn't be *smooth* castle walls, now would they? |

− | The walls go up to two more levels, and the third level is only one wide fortifications, with the other side floors to enable shooting off the walls. The corner towers are currently 6 high, with small barracks and ammunition storage for the archers. The gate towers are 5 high, and mostly contain small shooting places and barracks for soldiers, and more ammo.

− | + | I have some preliminary plans for the outer wall, and roads (in white stone) going to every inner and outer wall tower location. I think the moat will be 5 wide, fed off a small brook on the edge of the map. The outer wall turrets will be circular, 11 wide, with small wall towers before the large 7x7 gate towers supporting a 5 wide drawbridge on every side. My very preliminarey calculations say this will take the inner wall and keep around 2000-2200 blocks, and the outer wall area another 10k-12k, so this is still a large work in progress. I'm having problems with it crashing, I wonder if I have too many items? Playing the map with 60 dwarves at 5 FPS is becoming a chore, perhaps I will try a more abandoned map without lava, water, and creatures and try again. I have to let it run for 30 min, and come back to place 50 blocks, and then wait another 50 min. You'd think a 3.4ghz would be enough to run this, ah well. | |
