While I was initially shooting for a castle,  space limitations constrained me to more of a fort.  I did my best to  keep the natural valley walls and build within it, opposed to completely levelling everything.  The castle still needs landscaping in the courtyard and various detailing.

| South night shot. | 
In both the panoramic shots, you'll notice the lack of approach to the gate.  I plan on adding a moat on one side, a ramp on the other and gates to both.

| Unlandscaped courtyard from wall. | 
In the courtyard, I'm planning on putting in a small pond, flowers, trees, pathways and a portal.

| Partially built, walls up, but no towers. |

| Quick draft. | 
I did a really quick draft because drafting the temple helped me immensely.  Sadly, I tried to skip out on a front or side angle and wound up screwing up my draft a fair bit.  In the draft, the walls were only supposed to be three tiles thick with crenellations sticking out an extra tile on either side.  In the final castle, I accidently built the walls five tiles thick and an extra tile for the crenellations.  Being lazy didn't pay off this time around.
