A few things: 1: you are a TITAN of castle building 2: would it be possible for you to release your SketchUp files as a guide for those of us who are... "architecturally challenged"?
It's a castle created by someone who is an expert in castle design. Created to be impregnable. If someone can make it to the vault and take just one thing, they have managed to conquer one of thee greatest castles in the game. Someone who can do that can pretty much get into any castle in the game. How is that kind of bragging rights not worth it?
I would less call it a raid and more of a siege since no one can just walk in and take crap while desperately fighting off the Versity guards. Plus if i were to manage that, i'll sodding stay on it and claim it as my own!
Bedroom? has strategic firing positions Kitchen? has murder-holes in the ceiling Bathroom? well you got me there, but he'd be able to come up with something.
Mentioned that he was missing things defensively when he was attacked Definitely needs 3 new Gate houses, at least one drawbridge and finally he needs to block off one of the sides with a solid wall as you can easy circle the Castle
Since Shad said there was a dragon at the top of the mountain behind the castle, this question can be asked in all seriousness... BUT WHAT ABOUT DRAGONS? Can your castle withstand a DRAGON attack? DAGNABIT Shad, you can't forget the DRAGONS!
Tadicuslegion78 May I make a second version of your comment? Just to make it more similar to the original quote. -Shad! What is the best in life? -To throw pommels at your enemies, see them driven under your machicolatios and to hear the lamentations od their dragons.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Fantasy game developers need to hire you on as a castle consultant, if not as a designer for the castles themselves. Your fare is so much better than any alternative I've seen.
Resources is also a big thing. As shad said, outside of creative, his clan had to gather quite a bit of resources to build it, which kind of makes it even more authentic. I haven't playerd this game, but Ark Survival Evolved is similar in ome ways, and I have been in a group who doesn't do much resource gathering so have spent ungodley amount of time gathering resources to build our bases in Ark.
Just listening to all the awesome defense mechanics makes me want to see the reaction of someone wanting to raid it. It goes from bad to worse, and I'm sure they would instantly regret ever trying
Just stack explosives, battle ends in less than 5 minutes. The game really isn't balanced for true "raiding" of castles. As a matter of fact, the game is hardly balanced lol
You know, when I see these videos I remember one video called "when a clan fucks with a solo player in conan exiles" and the solo player transforms into a tentacle monster and completely obliterates the entire thing in seconds.
Very nice, it really does look pretty un-raidable. One thing that you guys need to do to make your base even better protected is to sink foundations all around the perimeter of your base far enough out so that people can't build trebuchets within range of your castle. You can also reinforce your walls and foundations by adding fence foundations to them, this provides an additional layer that has to be broken through before getting to the wall or foundation itself. Your clan needs to build the other shrines since you can learn more than one religion. Mitra is a very handy one since you can make Ambrosia at Mitra shrines and Ambrosia works as healing potions and are quicker and easier to make than aloe potions and, unless things have changed, you can use them in combat unlike bandages and wraps. Yog is handy for making meat that never rots, Ymir allows you to build high end arrows, and I have no idea what benefits Derketo provides. I think that your castle is large enough for at least another shrine or two so you might as well take advantage of that and maybe consider building some sort of annex for even more shrines.
very raid-able. everyone thinks people are going to do a proper siege, all you have to do grease orb and fireorb the spikes. then blow in threw the top of the base. gas orb the thralls. and trebs are used alot. just alot of people use them improperly.
Dammit, I have been to busy playing other games to build that base I said I was gonna build to impress you! Just you wait Shad, I will make a Castle that you will be proud of that a "student" of yours made!
since I got minecraft I've wanted to build a whole city by hand. I've been working on one for about six months now, though mainly as busy-work I've been building the walls around the nation whose name hasn't been decided yet when I can't think of house ideas.
Jabun The Wanderer I was building a large city in a build server and I realised that I needed more space than my plot would allow but I never figured out mcEdit before I got burned out and stopped. I then tried to find my builds on that server again recently. It turned out it was reset a few times since my last session. Yeah, there is a lot of busywork with walls. My advice would be to get World edit and paste the pattern across the stretch of wall.
This castle is super hot fire, Like an Aussie Christmas. You gonna give this castle a mini story? Also the cliff face behind the castle is pretty Sheer and made of Stone by the look. Land slides would be unlikely but you would have some serious snow issues.
3 years late on seeing this gorgeous build, but if you still aren't aware, maxed out altars will display its location on the map. Keep up the amazing work and you've inspired me with these builds! Love this game and love your vids ❤️
Hey, if build regions are unrestricted, could you possibly construct smaller, more secure, and consequently less livable fortifications near major resources? I think it would also be advantageous to connect these fortified locations with a sort of highway system of elevated foundations acting as roads. These sites could be used as fallback sites for raid parties, as well as serve as interim storehouses for whatever resource the site possessed. The highway system, provided construction is viable, could make it possible to efficiently move resources from these sites to a centralised and heavily fortified storehouse.
The pictures you put up of the triangle and square patterns help immensely! I was wondering how to make circular archer towers on my keep, and this showed me what I was missing! Thank you
you can also coat you foundations with fence foundations on the outside with any fence foundations as you want to alter the look and increase defence of the foundations.
Wow, just imagining some jerk summoning an avatar to destroy this beauty of a base makes my heart ache. Good thinking with the priest there, I hope you won't get raided!
This is an awesome castle! I wonder if it would be possible to build an extension to the main gate to make it a proper gatehouse with murderholes and such.
you should definitely film a siege on this one. If you organize it with different spectators(both sides) add some role play and cut the footage into a couple of videos it will be an epic series. Just keep the gods out of it. Last time I checked those are not balanced and will spoil the fun
I really want to see more of this game on your channel. You, the gang, chilling and decorating your buildings and continuously creating more over time and such.
The deflective properties of round towers are secondary. Their main advantage is simply that they are structurally stronger. It's harder to bring down a round tower either by bombardment or mining because it lacks corners, which are natural structural weak points. Unless the tower is quite small in diameter, there will be essentially no deflective bonus versus a flat face.
You've been inspiring people to make interesting bases my dude. Played on a server a month ago and thought I'd been teleported into medieval europe. One of them looked like this castle, but in the swamp to the north east. They had the marvelous idea of building it up into a giant tree with an elevator to gain access and seige cauldrons above the main door to stop shenanigans
On the topic of fantasy castles, can you do a video examining famous castles and keeps from published Dungeons and Dragons adventure modules, such as the eponymous Keep from B1 Keep on the Borderlands?
I love this castle mate. I really like what you did with the outer stairs in the Bailey and the kill room immediately after. If I were to get through the gates and past the bailey and finally through the door I would be so infuriated at the kill room. Absolutely brilliant. Not only is it incredibly effective but it looks amazing inside.
Would be awesome to try and work _together_ with the clans that are inevitably gonna try and raid you, ask them to organize a time and date when they attack and your clan will be there to defend, everyone gets an awesome battle and awesome vids out of it...
I love this design so much i built your castle ive slightly altered it by raiseing the entire foundation higher to avoid the problem during the raid where they were easily able to bomb into the rear tower ive made the bottom soild foundation 8 high as well as added a drawbridge connected to a circular tower gatehouse archery tower in the front i wish i had a picture you would probably like it i like yours its great i would not have come up with this version a made without seeing yours great base
I started playing this week. Because of you, my buildings are a pain in the ass to navigate, but much more defensible than they would be if I were focusing on convenience.
This game is incredibly underrated. I just got it on sale for ps4. I heard of it but never gave it much of a look until I saw videos on youtube of all the construction designs. I'm hooked now. And I can't wait to get leveled up to build the ultimate setup. Since I'm more of a solo player, this is going to take a ton of time. That's going to keep me occupied for quite a while. Lo e the fact that I can use a pve server to learn. Purge events will be entertaining as hell once I get all setup.
@Shadiversity I don't know if anyone has mentioned to you but you can attach the fence foundations to the faces of the foundations adding yet another layer of protection to your awesome castle and possibly use it as well as a wall were you could see the wheel of pain because if memory serves they have more hit points then a wall does.
If I played that game, I would accept that challenge of raiding and raising that castle... Question: what happens to damaged castles? Is there a quick repair function, or do you have to repair every stone manually? The latter would really suck especially for outposts that are likely to get destroyed multiple times... That's my main consideration, as I do love outposts and a bastion-system and vastly prefer it over a single castle.
you have to repair each piece manually. and if you destroy all connecting blocks you could wipe out an entire tower so fill an inner tower room with bombs and goodbye towers
nah my strategy of cover every square inch of a buildins first floor with explosives almost always ends in total collapse not matter the construction problem is taking the first floor and making more bombs than players on the map.
There could be some scary stuff... In Minecraft you could have regenerating walls (utilizing cobble/stone generators) and just about as thick as you could want. You could have toggleable tnt cannons and stuff, flying machine only access to upper levels, that can also be disabled, easy transportation, but capable of not allowing your enemy through... toggleable lava/or water moats ridiculous drawbridges (I've built some myself) and some much more
@Samuel Haines - Trap nametagged Skeletons to shoot the attackers. Have a spawner where the only spawnable area is in a different room. Put layers of Obsidian or End Stone between each of the regenerating cobblestone walls. A Lava 'curtain' that goes from the moat/foundations down to Bedrock level so they can't tunnel underneath. Machicolations should be easy enough to add.
Yeah, right. You could also remove the bedrock. There's methods to do it in survival vanilla Attach observers to all of the pistons involved in pushing the cobble stone to then trigger then releasing of nametagged zombies into all the baileys and turn off the lights inside of a mob farm to activate it and cause the mobs to be transported wherever you want to. Also I have used machicolations in some of my castle builds. There are multiple ways to add them. Also Also nametagged shulkers in a deathzone in building, like the entrance to Shad's keep. Players get suspended while taking fire from skeletons (which, as you like proper defense, have all been given best possible enchanted bows) Also all the zombies have enchanted diamond swords and armor.
It can get completely nuts if you also add a ton of mods. Ethereal objects that can't be harmed in the physical world but also summon ghosts which deal armour piercing magic damage? Check. Illusory blocks which look real but are actually a trap? Check. (probably exist in multiple mods) Said trap drops attackers into a device which teleports them far out into some distant ocean thousands of blocks away? Check. Oh and of course the ability to make all the blocks indestructible but where's the fun in that?
@Samuel Haines - Using slabs, you could make it so that the only spawnable areas in the entire building are within the killzone(s) and then keep that in pure darkness. The attackers can have Night Vision potions to let them see without affecting the spawning.
Just beautiful. you have given me so many ideas. I first saw just a basic circle making video with conan some time ago, and went to town with that. Even though I play on a private server with my friends, i'm always the builder, that makes things Pretty. I have not lvled up to rier 3 items useage yet, but I plan to in my next build as needed.
Big fan of your channel....and now I ended up spending 40 dollars to get this game so I can make castles. Being a long time rust player, I find it’s very rust like, but castles are much nicer in this game. Keep up the great work and I promise not to raid your castle.
A few things:
1: you are a TITAN of castle building
2: would it be possible for you to release your SketchUp files as a guide for those of us who are... "architecturally challenged"?
Much agree; I'd love to play with the sketchup building blocks myself.
Hey Selena! I have been thinking about getting sketchup... Am I able to use the program without the internet? Do I need to pay monthly?
Ella Kingsleigh. Sketchup is a free program and does not require an internet connection.
I honestly was just planning on making a beehive
Underrated comment, Laughingpug.
If possible please film any raids that happen upon your castle.
I don't think even the highest level of clans would attempt a raid. Not worth it.
It's a castle created by someone who is an expert in castle design. Created to be impregnable.
If someone can make it to the vault and take just one thing, they have managed to conquer one of thee greatest castles in the game.
Someone who can do that can pretty much get into any castle in the game. How is that kind of bragging rights not worth it?
Give me ten good men... and I'll impregnate the b!tch. - Bronn th-cam.com/video/ETTCPzO4UIM/w-d-xo.html
I was about to say that, lol.
I would less call it a raid and more of a siege since no one can just walk in and take crap while desperately fighting off the Versity guards.
Plus if i were to manage that, i'll sodding stay on it and claim it as my own!
Shad can turn just EVERYTHING into "another layer of defence"
Shad is a layer of defense.
Why else do you think he has children?
He's like my girlfriend in an argument, hidden behind another layer of defense.
Bedroom? has strategic firing positions
Kitchen? has murder-holes in the ceiling
Bathroom? well you got me there, but he'd be able to come up with something.
@@Attaxalotl bathroom simple the shitter is on the second floor directly above the front entrance 🙂
@@Attaxalotl boiling oil
Most excellent. However, it needs a gatehouse or two.
You noticed that was missing too? Also some drawbridges.
Gatehouses!
Drawbridges!
Moats!
Taller merlons!
Machicholations!
Murderholes!
Sod the dragons, what about God dragons like Keldinschal?
(Massive white wyrm the size of... well a planet. And god in my novel)
I bet they added a second gate in a gatehouse behind the first after the video, as a surprise .
Mentioned that he was missing things defensively when he was attacked
Definitely needs 3 new Gate houses, at least one drawbridge and finally he needs to block off one of the sides with a solid wall as you can easy circle the Castle
Shad! What is best in life!?
To build machicolations, throw pommels at your enemies, and ask WHAT ABOUT DRAGONS!!!!!!
This is one of those life changing questions. . .
or castle changing questions once you drag a head home to it.
😂😂😂
Since Shad said there was a dragon at the top of the mountain behind the castle, this question can be asked in all seriousness... BUT WHAT ABOUT DRAGONS? Can your castle withstand a DRAGON attack? DAGNABIT Shad, you can't forget the DRAGONS!
Tadicuslegion78 May I make a second version of your comment? Just to make it more similar to the original quote.
-Shad! What is the best in life?
-To throw pommels at your enemies, see them driven under your machicolatios and to hear the lamentations od their dragons.
I've said it before, I'll say it again:
Fantasy game developers need to hire you on as a castle consultant, if not as a designer for the castles themselves. Your fare is so much better than any alternative I've seen.
Wow that's one cool castle love what you did with the stairs part that's absolutely fantastic.
The castle looks awsome! Usually the best structures in theses kind of games look awful but you did a great job!
Most just go "path of least resistance" based on game mechanics.
VSKKGaming - Киригин и Кожринова also because some people just arnt creative enough or have enough patience
Resources is also a big thing. As shad said, outside of creative, his clan had to gather quite a bit of resources to build it, which kind of makes it even more authentic. I haven't playerd this game, but Ark Survival Evolved is similar in ome ways, and I have been in a group who doesn't do much resource gathering so have spent ungodley amount of time gathering resources to build our bases in Ark.
So you are kind of indirectly forcing players to make more historically accurate castles to defend themselves in that game. I think that is awesome.
awesome and also evil:))))
Blocks for the win !!!
Well, games mimic real life anyway. So it’s not so bad making people consider real life values.
Just listening to all the awesome defense mechanics makes me want to see the reaction of someone wanting to raid it.
It goes from bad to worse, and I'm sure they would instantly regret ever trying
That is really cool that you get to be the clan's architect. That must be really nice for them and you. Awesome castle Shad!
I really want to see a battle in this castle! BE SURE TO SHOW US MORE VIDEOS ON THIS
he will have to invite a lot of people in his coop session...
He plays on a public server where many battles have been fought
Just stack explosives, battle ends in less than 5 minutes. The game really isn't balanced for true "raiding" of castles. As a matter of fact, the game is hardly balanced lol
dawgyv72 not true as he has a video of an attack on this castle dumb dumb
You know, when I see these videos I remember one video called "when a clan fucks with a solo player in conan exiles" and the solo player transforms into a tentacle monster and completely obliterates the entire thing in seconds.
even 4 years later I was totally blown away by what I saw here... this is completely amazing!
You got me in to Conan with your first video, been having loads of fun.
Yeeeaah ... me too ;-)
Very nice, it really does look pretty un-raidable. One thing that you guys need to do to make your base even better protected is to sink foundations all around the perimeter of your base far enough out so that people can't build trebuchets within range of your castle.

I think that your castle is large enough for at least another shrine or two so you might as well take advantage of that and maybe consider building some sort of annex for even more shrines.
Phil Hsueh derketo makes acquisition of some resources easier and has a decent sword that's fairly cheap to make
Nobody uses trebuchets in the game
Phil Hsueh derketo gives you stamina potions
very raid-able. everyone thinks people are going to do a proper siege, all you have to do grease orb and fireorb the spikes. then blow in threw the top of the base. gas orb the thralls. and trebs are used alot. just alot of people use them improperly.
Conan needs none of your “helpful gods”. Krom cares not for them, or you. And I care not for him.
Looks awesome but Why no gatehouses?
Amazing design! I don't play Conan, but I plan on using some of fundamentals you've used here in other games. Great job!
Dammit, I have been to busy playing other games to build that base I said I was gonna build to impress you! Just you wait Shad, I will make a Castle that you will be proud of that a "student" of yours made!
I will never raid you but I am taking a couple of build and defensive tips, sorry in advance if we ever see each other in game
Jesse Hall I hope I and never see any of you :/ I’m a noob...
I love when you tour your castle you should do it more often
I really like the placement of the alter. That is just the crown jewel of such a beastly castle.
*LEGENDARY*
This reminds of when I was an avid Minecraft builder. The stuff you end up making after a while is awesome.
since I got minecraft I've wanted to build a whole city by hand. I've been working on one for about six months now, though mainly as busy-work I've been building the walls around the nation whose name hasn't been decided yet when I can't think of house ideas.
Jabun The Wanderer I was building a large city in a build server and I realised that I needed more space than my plot would allow but I never figured out mcEdit before I got burned out and stopped. I then tried to find my builds on that server again recently. It turned out it was reset a few times since my last session.
Yeah, there is a lot of busywork with walls. My advice would be to get World edit and paste the pattern across the stretch of wall.
The whole point of this is I wanted to hand-craft the city, so the closest thing I've done is being "cheaty" and using creative mode.
Jabun The Wanderer You can still use commands and hand craft it. You could paste the pattern across the wall and then alter sections along it.
This castle is super hot fire, Like an Aussie Christmas. You gonna give this castle a mini story? Also the cliff face behind the castle is pretty Sheer and made of Stone by the look. Land slides would be unlikely but you would have some serious snow issues.
Especially considering the fact that the entire structure has a grand total of _one_ slanted roof, the rest being entirely flat.
that is what the thralls are for. low level thralls are on snow shoveling duty 24/7 in wintertime.
Tour of castle Vanburg, a.k.a how to raid Shad and his clanmates.
I like how this castle is realistic and practical but also very ascetic and fantasy looking 👍🏻
please let us know if someone tries to raid you
They did actually
Rogal Dorn approves this fortress.
I loved this design. It's as you said, it has flavor. It's functional but not slavish to functionality. I would call it sober fantasy.
This game shoukd have machichulationsss and dragon rooms
You mentioning squares and triangles being useful to make circles just helped me in an editor I have been working in. Excellent vid as always!
Shad is my knight in shining armour.
3 years late on seeing this gorgeous build, but if you still aren't aware, maxed out altars will display its location on the map. Keep up the amazing work and you've inspired me with these builds! Love this game and love your vids ❤️
Glad you're back!
Hey, if build regions are unrestricted, could you possibly construct smaller, more secure, and consequently less livable fortifications near major resources?

If your castle is put under a proper siege, could you post it please?
The pictures you put up of the triangle and square patterns help immensely! I was wondering how to make circular archer towers on my keep, and this showed me what I was missing! Thank you
you can also coat you foundations with fence foundations on the outside with any fence foundations as you want to alter the look and increase defence of the foundations.
Idk what you do for a living but this was thought through and spoken like a true designer!
Wow, just imagining some jerk summoning an avatar to destroy this beauty of a base makes my heart ache. Good thinking with the priest there, I hope you won't get raided!
the part with the main door to the keep is just briliant Mr. Shad.. functionall, and historically accurate
This is an awesome castle! I wonder if it would be possible to build an extension to the main gate to make it a proper gatehouse with murderholes and such.
As an design and building enthusiast (and big fan of Conan Exiles) I did enjoy this a lot. Really good work
Great video Shad
Finally found someone who likes Castles as much as me (probably even more) Hope we get many more of these videos.
you should definitely film a siege on this one. If you organize it with different spectators(both sides) add some role play and cut the footage into a couple of videos it will be an epic series. Just keep the gods out of it. Last time I checked those are not balanced and will spoil the fun

I love the weaksauce sandstone stairs leading to fortified doors lol
Oi mate
I challenge you, to build a castle in Raft
"No moat is greater than an ocean"
Me (DZ) a few seconds before clicking that reply button.
69th like!!!!!!!
james parsons nice
This is the most epic base I've ever seen in Conan so far.
¸fantastic work as always mate
Shad, your love of all things castles brings joy to the masses. I approve and thank you.
On the topic of fantasy castles, can you do a video examining famous castles and keeps from published Dungeons and Dragons adventure modules, such as the eponymous Keep from B1 Keep on the Borderlands?
I hope your liege truly appreciates the devious mind of his chief architect/engineer. Also the places your clan mates were "sleeping" are hilarious.
Well played shad
What a beautiful and menacing looking castle good job Shad
Absolute madman
There is a fine line between madness, and genius.
I love this castle mate. I really like what you did with the outer stairs in the Bailey and the kill room immediately after. If I were to get through the gates and past the bailey and finally through the door I would be so infuriated at the kill room. Absolutely brilliant. Not only is it incredibly effective but it looks amazing inside.
Shad, why didn't you make 2 gates? Leave some openings to fire arrows at whoever is attacking.
Thanks for the illustration! I did the bottom left corner figure and its pretty kool. I think it would look better in various materials.
This is sick
Ima need some more of these videos, you're doing an awesome job making these structures.
Would be awesome to try and work _together_ with the clans that are inevitably gonna try and raid you, ask them to organize a time and date when they attack and your clan will be there to defend, everyone gets an awesome battle and awesome vids out of it...
I love this design so much i built your castle ive slightly altered it by raiseing the entire foundation higher to avoid the problem during the raid where they were easily able to bomb into the rear tower ive made the bottom soild foundation 8 high as well as added a drawbridge connected to a circular tower gatehouse archery tower in the front i wish i had a picture you would probably like it i like yours its great i would not have come up with this version a made without seeing yours great base
Challenge Accepted! Going to get Conan Exiles now. hehe
Hey Shad, just want to say thanks and that ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!
Castle Vanburg: Pointy!
It has to be! Everyone can just climb walls in Conan Exiles!
I started playing this week. Because of you, my buildings are a pain in the ass to navigate, but much more defensible than they would be if I were focusing on convenience.
Love the design
Holly cow that would take forever to build will all the gathering needed. awesome work
Oh heck yeah! Gotta love dem castles
This game is incredibly underrated. I just got it on sale for ps4. I heard of it but never gave it much of a look until I saw videos on youtube of all the construction designs. I'm hooked now.

this makes me want to play conan exiles again.
You’re so creative

That looks like a lot of fun
If only I had the time...
Fantastic build and video. Very helpful about to get the game, cannot wait to get into it with my Mrs
If I played that game, I would accept that challenge of raiding and raising that castle...

nah my strategy of cover every square inch of a buildins first floor with explosives almost always ends in total collapse not matter the construction problem is taking the first floor and making more bombs than players on the map.
2:50 so i will be watching this video everytime I want to build something on conan. Thank you!
That Oz guy has a really sexy room... ;)
Very nice build. Can't wait to build something like your build some day.
I wonder what you'd end up with if you did a MineCraft castle?
There could be some scary stuff...
In Minecraft you could have regenerating walls (utilizing cobble/stone generators)
and just about as thick as you could want.
You could have toggleable tnt cannons and stuff, flying machine only access to upper levels, that can also be disabled, easy transportation, but capable of not allowing your enemy through...

Said trap drops attackers into a device which teleports them far out into some distant ocean thousands of blocks away? Check.
Oh and of course the ability to make all the blocks indestructible but where's the fun in that?
@Samuel Haines -
Using slabs, you could make it so that the only spawnable areas in the entire building are within the killzone(s) and then keep that in pure darkness. The attackers can have Night Vision potions to let them see without affecting the spawning.
Just beautiful. you have given me so many ideas. I first saw just a basic circle making video with conan some time ago, and went to town with that. Even though I play on a private server with my friends, i'm always the builder, that makes things Pretty. I have not lvled up to rier 3 items useage yet, but I plan to in my next build as needed.
almost first, so close. swoords!!!! hi shad! congrats on your new child
Senpai noticed me!
This castle is freaking incredible!
so basically whoever has the most dynamite owns the map xD
your an american, arent you?
cause that was a very american statement.
not really explosives are placed items that are very large so they are hard to utilize outside of large scale sieges.
tezla i am american and that was a very foreigner thing to say xD
I found a new world brit!
(You may call yourselves american's since you live in the damn continent but ya'll have british blood in ya)
Yes i have always wanted to be british because the U.K. is simply awesome well i guess i am one in a way xD
The stair thing is a nice play, very clever.
I think you need more wheels of pain inside the courtyard for your thralls.Lol
Big fan of your channel....and now I ended up spending 40 dollars to get this game so I can make castles. Being a long time rust player, I find it’s very rust like, but castles are much nicer in this game. Keep up the great work and I promise not to raid your castle.
Pebbles!
Ive been watching ur videos for base design in Conan. I built a large spire tower on the 3 small islands in the far east jungle.
Awesome.
I like your design so much that I decided to try to construct it in single player using stormglass
