What games have the best castles?
I fucking love cutaways bros
>>686733467Kingdom Come: Deliverance obviously
Castles aren't shit. Walls and trenches are everything.
CASTLEvania and CASTLE Wolfeintein
>>686733467Ew imagine building a stinky poop shack. Westoids cannot compete.
>>686734042What do they EAT
>>686734042Western castles could keep Mongols out
>>686733467does anor londo count as a castle? the first time I got to it I was pretty awed. then I got fucking annoyed with it as ornstein and smough beat the shit out of me for a few hours. I hold that memory pretty significantly in my head
>>686734042I understand now why they were once the most developed region in the world. Fucking look at these roads. Han dynasty was like 200 BC. Jesus christ.
>>686734565>were once the most developed region in the worldWhen?
>>686733467lmao took me a minute to see it.
>>686734614It was through the middle ages up until like 1750
>>686733467Any castle I can actually go and visit all of it inside?
>>686734042>Not pictured: Chinese and Japanese castles also having poop shacks.Don't act like Asians don't shit too.>>686734565I'm pretty sure Rome similarly had pretty bigass and grand roads like that. The difference being that Rome's infrastructure was used well-after maintenance had ceased for it and sometimes the stonework got cannibalized by people who immediately needed shelter with quality masonry. I admit, I don't know what China has done to keep their castles so well maintained, especially through so many social upheavals and shifts in power, but the point is: it has benefited from continued maintenance, and possibly never really getting sieged in the first place.
game may not have been what people wanted but the castle was great
>>686735156i was expecting saddam, that's a good one too
>>686735389Rome and China were similar in terms of development/technology. Roman empire collapsing literally took Europe 1000 years back.
>>686735243No it wasn't. The Byzantine Empire (real name: The Roman Empire) was the most advanced civilization until the 15th century and by then western Europe had dramatically surpassed China. A quick timeline of the most advanced civilizations>Egypt>Levant>Rome>Eastern Rome>Western Europe>America
>>686735415he's there
>>686733467fuck i loved this book as a kidnow i'm gonna have to waste like an hour looking at it again
>>686735403Going up in the towers at night with nobody else around in your wizard robes is top comfy, but from a sim perspective I'd rather you have to sneak around if you go out at night like you do during missions.
>>686733467Cross sections are so awesome. Loved these books for History as well as the Star Wars ones.
everybody in this thread has autism
>>686735786All of em would've lost if they had to fight an army comprised of 5x their numbers in what would seem like infinite soldiers one after another. Thankfully for Europe there are multiple geographical barriers that made it nigh impossible for such a battle to happen.
>>686733467V Rising is the only game with customized castle building that I can think of.
The most memorable castle cross-section.
>>686733859>Castles aren't shit. Walls and trenches are everything.
>>686733467Did anybody else spend hours looking at these cross sections each one individually and just played out the lives of all the no named people depicted? Had whole imagined stories and scenes playing out in the castles or battlements or whatever in my mind.Best way to pass time at school. Teachers would let you do nothing but daydream too just cause it looked educational.
>>686733467>>686737252MOAR
yep this goes in my deep-down like in a massive castle inspiration folder
>>686737087The Mongols conquered China. Then they tried and failed to conquer Europe, which had nothing to do with geographical barriers.
>>686735553I mean, kind of sort of? Byzantine kept up a lot of stuff and so did the Arabs which got brought back by the Crusades, didn't they? The thing that set Europe back was a lack of a strong, central governing administration to coordinate things and becoming that central government was kind of the big conflict post-Rome.
>>686733467Why'd he do it?
Castle/spaceship cutaways and realistic dinosaur gore books are what gave me my special brand of autism
>>686733467Found itkek
>>686733467Off-topic thread you faggot.
>>686738408CLEAN IT UP JANNY
The Alpha and Omega. You had to be there. Realistic and learned tons of shit about actual castles.
>>686737252I remember owning this as a kid. Pretty sure I also had a star wars cutout too.
>>686735553>>686738296>Roman empire collapsing literally took Europe 1000 years back.Yeah this is the meme historical perspective you get from public schooling. Western Europe were backwater ex-Roman territories up until the Roman Empire collapsed in 1453. Luckily Europeans figured out how to greatly advance gunpowder, farming and seafaring technology which allowed them to take over as the world's dominant power instead of the Muslims.
It's a shame that we don't care more about our castles. But immigrants need to get paid money to do nothing. Here is a cool one near my house.Made around year 1000.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMtM4g9A7mc
>>686738446>nooooo my twitter screenshot thread
iswydt
Saddam Hussein under the left staircase on the floor with the chapel
>>686738682Muslims should have. Such a shame.
>>686739201What should have happened is that Hadrian should have finished the job in 135 A.D.
