Castle Design Suggestion

[alpha30ns]

i know this game probably already has the wall thing taken care of but i thought of this while playing forge on halo 3 lol.
(...maybe it could be included in dof 2 lol jk)

seeing as how some people like building there own castles and not having defualt ones i was thinking what if there was a castle editor that allows you to design your castle the way you want it before you start your mmo or skirmish game. like say you only have a certain amount of resources to design your castle, and there is a boundary so your castle wont take up the entire map. also you couldnt be able to stack walls next to each other. and have to have plots inbetween wall segments.

i know theres some problems to this but this is a short description. and i wanted to know what you thought about it.

Hmmm not too bad.
But it will be requiring alot of works so in any case its far away
But other than that its nice

Stranger example, but like: The roller coaster designer in Roller Coaster Tycoon, kinda like?

That's what I was thinking. Wherever you build the castle, say into the side of a mountain, it should adapt to the terrain.

yeah or say in the mmo part you get your land then you can design your castle around the land or use a default castle.

(off topic) .... i hope the castles in this game dont have any major flaws in the design that would make it easy to take over.

every castle has his weak point. The good players know that spot and know hot to make it their strong point.

lots and lots of archers should do the trick!

Countered by lots and lots of calvalry! Back on topic, I wonder how the design goes for where walls are going to be placed on different walls of the castle? I never saw them all in a straight row.

eh i dont think your gonna want to spam catapults alot more expensive then archers and even if u do the archers would still prob win considering ( did u ever think that catapults have top be maned? if they are then the archers an just shoot them problem solved and the castle also has long ranged trebs inside so the catapult will be fired at before u can get in range)
