Castle Building

[Welshman]

I'd like some advice in building castles in the Map Editor.

I've tried one, which looks okay in the Editor, but as soon as I play it, the walls are all out of alignment. How can one be sure beforehand, or is it a matter of trail and error?

The one real problem I have is lining up castle walls, particularly when one is at a diagonal angle to the other. Any tips on how to get these lined up right, or again, just try and try again?

The Editor is limited in terms of models for a castle, but I've discovered that you can put parts over and in other parts to make the castle you want.

What's the most complex or biggest castle you've built? Have you tried to make a castle based on a real one?

I don't personally mod (but highly respect those guys who do - some fantastic maps have come out of The Dungeon/Modder's Forum). Here's a link to barocca's recent post in The Dungeon that may be helpful:

georg, you're best bet is to check in the Dungeon forum. If you can't find your information there, then post your question there...I know you can't now, but check your group level later today. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

SeljukSinan is right. Alrowan is the right man to ask about castles. You should look at is Krak des Chaveliers map castle. Is awsome and well done.I'm having the same problem as you when it cames to built castles.;)
