10x10 size moat, draw bridge made of pure Iron, and hopefully a intricate vault with security measures for would be thieves :happy.gif:
All in Indev.
If you have any suggestions to make this even more epic (and pleasuable to do in Indev :ohmy.gif:) id love to hear it.
Update: Moat is dug out. Starting on structures.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Second Wall Complete plus third tower. One more tower plus two more walls for main defenses to be done :happy.gif: then i can work on a keep.
______________________________________
All Walls are done, All Towers are completed. And I made a giant keep made out of stone where my bridge will be.
I would suggest multiple walls and moats further out.
Yea, I would put another wall around the outside of the moat if possible, and a walkway along the top to shoot down at monsters in your moat or that are headed for your castle.
- A City around it may be possible but far in the future, im thinking of making maybe a small village made of wood outside its walls.
- I dont think ill be able to make the moat have lava in it unless i go very deep into ground, and about 10 blocks deep on each moat is taking awhile... lol I do plan on diverting water for the time being from all near by lakes that are ontop of the map into it.
Soooo I guess ill end up adding:
1) making the moat deeper which will happen when i need more stone for my castle
2) build a village on the outer wall.
3) search for lava close to the surface.
What still needs to be done:
1) Build castle Walls
2) Build Towers
3) Build a Keep.
4) other stuff.

Walk way is going to be up there, and possibly another walkway lower down on the wall with holes lower down.
Another wall on the outside of the moat is a bad idea because then the enemy could hide behind that wall.
Edit: sigh, Moat takes forever. Im saving all my dirt as well.

With the addition of the keep i must extend the moat further out near the keep. I also have to plug up any holes the moat may have. I think after i do that ill build my bridge, then start on a vault.. maybe it will be located under the keep.

Make sure it doesn't gain water.
Some sort of town thing nearby please

I finally made a stair case in this tower too.
I guess i can upload on more picture to this thread then ill have to let it die until I finish my castle, or make a website with updates lewl.

Im going to be selective of using stone and cobblestone, neither one or the other. The keep for example is made out of stone.
Seconding the lava moat suggestion.
