How about alligators too? *S* I love the idea of piranhas in the water, maybe some skeletons or other junk.

And did I see an ultimate-style castle in the new WWG home page artwork, artfully backlit? (on the left)

My brain is fried from work today so I can't think of anything else to add to the ultimate castle discussion. Boulders maybe, some real looking ones to scatter about. And gargoyles, pots of boiling oil, etc. You know.

Glad to see this discussion made it to "sticky" level!

All great ideas! Various moats will definately make the cut

I would really like to see curved walls and balconys you could attach anywhere along the walls.

Things are progressing really well. Thanks to the many suggestions here this set is turning out to be deserving of the title "CastleWorks Ultimate". I'm having a blast playing with the elements I've already created. I wish I could show you more but for now this small texture sample will have to do. I came up with a new texturing and painting process that’s making me grin ear to ear

Denny,

After much drooling and staring at the art and textures with a silly grin on my face, all I can say is WOW!!!!! Can't wait to add this set to my collection.

Oh man that looks so good it's making my eyes water. Can't wait to get my hands on this set. You're doing great, Denny, thanks for the sketch and texture sample.

The city of Moscova awaits it's walls and gates! I think it will definitely be worth the wait. This will get my Brettonians and my wife's Empire troops back out of the cabinet, along with Seigeworks.

This is only showing about 10% of what's included and it doesnt really give away any "secrets" MUCH more to come!

Ooooooh......

I can hardly wait for more! That little snippet looks very nice!!

Very nice! Love the textures. I could *swear* those bricks in the wall each have their own 3D relief (except that would become just a *little* hard to fold and assemble )

Two nitpicks, just because I can't help myself :

- A square top on an octagonal tower seems somewhat out of place

- Stylistically, I'm not that fond of the way the machicolations jut out. I'm more used to seeing them flush with the battlements, as in this picture:
