Kingdoms and castles windows#
This is a relatively simple room (I ripped out the windows so we could see inside a bit better) - you've got the King's canopy bed, a fireplace, a stairwell down, and a shelf for storing the crown and imperial sword at night. I used a main door with bars here even though it's kind of ugly, because I acknowledge that this is a castle and not a house, and that entrance is the weakest part of all (although in a siege this whole portion would soon be on fire, in all likelihood :P):įinally, we have the Royal Chambers.
Kingdoms and castles full#
The's a pretty elaborate staircase that you can't see well in this screenshot, a stove, a shelf full of wine bottles, some barrels, food storage on the wall (can't be seen here), and the barred entrance to the dungeon. Moving along, we next have the scullery/wine storage. The roof for this scene also comes off easily: I agonized over the door for a long time, but there's a sticker from one of the Ninjago sets that would make it look less out of place. There is also a big fireplace, throne (for great sitting is needed to do Kingly justice), and some owl-shaped gargoyles.

The table and chairs are designed to be removable so the King can receive guests (on the nicely tiled floor and red carpet! :D), in which case the room will feature 5 suits of armor lining the walls. I pulled the door open for this shot, though it wound up a little dark. Next, we have the Great Hall/Throne Room. First, the dungeon, which has chains (to ensnare a skeleton), spider web, cell, barrel storage, and a secret door for making escapes: Unfortunately, this effect is very tedious to reproduce in LDD, so I just kind of tore the thing open to show the interiors (I don't have hours to spend to take screenshots :P ). The keep has two lift-outs and a whole side opens, and the residence portion also has two lift-outs. The castle was designed to be fully modular. However, I did still want to showcase my work. Unfortunately, it wound up being something of a mega-build at nearly 2,900 pieces, which likely means I will never get to experience it in real life. The game at times almost feels like you're playing with Lego (at least a little), so I wanted to reproduce the structure with bricks. but I've always preferred the simple, pleasant lines of the original keep. Now, granted, the game's goal largely revolves around upgrading this quaint structure into a grand fortress. So, I've been playing Kingdoms and Castles recently - a kind of SNES Sim City meets Rollercoaster Tycoon meets Banished and then they all catch the Black Death - and as soon as I booted it up the first time, I immediately fell in love with the starter keep (BEWARE IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THIS GAME - IT'S SUPER ADDICTING! XD).
