I think the settlement in the screenie is a city too

Have you noticed ? There are little buildings (probably houses) OUTSIDE the city walls too! I am really happy to see this since in RTW all the buildings were inside the walls. Having some stuff outside the walls is much more realistic.
I've been looking loads of images of cities and castles in M2TW and still not convinced either way now.
Here is a citadel upgrade image. It could basically describe something like the ring of walls we see in the bottom-left corner of the other image.

This is a picture of an impressive looking fortress. Lots of walls in close proximity. Looks a little less city like from that angle.

Clearly a small settlement with a wall around it. If this was a very large settlement, you'd expect it to be able to have bigger fortifications/walls around it, perhaps like in that other picture.

That's definitely a city. There are some strong defences in the left corner again, but not quite the size of those in the other screenshot. Although the city's walls might not be fully upgraded?

Now this you assume is a castle of some description, with the hill on the right housing some defensive looking structures. I wonder if in the original picture, the region with all the inner walls is actually raised too.

Now some screen grabs from the Castles and cities movie:
Huge city with probably maximum walls:

Large castle:

Small castle, looks a bit familiar:

Although the top-down image didn't look very impressive, the large amounts of greeny near walls is like in the castle images above. But then again, that overhead shot doesn't seem to feature lots of intimidating fortifications like seen in some of those other images. Can't be a castle....
Pretty sure that those "large castle" pics are the topdown pic from respectively: the right side of the town square looking towards the left and middle top looking down.
That pic is the same castle again, fighting on the wall by the gate at the left top corner of the castle.Quote:

I would say thats probably a maxed out castle.
In MTW, some factions got full concentric castles with seperate rings while others only had the keep in the corner like this.

I think that is the case here as well, look at the left side of that pic.
From other sites, I'm pretty sure that top down pic shows impassable cliffs along the bottom of the screen too.

Tree's,
This is my curious if making no sense at all question.
I notice by certain walls there are tree's. I am hoping there is some way to knock these down. I will feel rather bad if the only thing stopping me from reaching a certain castle wall vital spot is a oak branch :shame:
Hmm, yeah :juggle2:
