The prettiest castle belonged to someone named Victor in the Emperors, Not sure if he changed his name, But it was so pretty although it took me 1min 30 sec to load his cattle, and that is at 90 MB/s download speed, I will do it again and again. 

The most amazing, and loveable part was how his cattle loaded in a snail like pattern, like a spiral it will go round and round and then the red dragon will appear in the center, then it will breath fire and flowers will emerge. Pink, red and yellow flowers and green trees loading in spirals. 

It was like looking as Edvard Munch paint the scream in 1 min 30 sec, starting in the center. Amazingly fantastic. Find him. Maybe he will give you some hints.

But make sure you have good internet. It can take a while to load his castle.

I can't be the only one addicted to making my township pretty.  Yes, I'm working at developing and updating and orc killing and hiring new talent and cutting dragon toenails...

Anyhoos, I have searched and cannot find anyone chatting about how to make things cute.  With war and blood a constant, those left at home would want to be able to live joyfully in the town that their sons and daughters are fighting to keep and make better.

Can someone point to the links?

This player is deceased but he wanted a dance floor for his dragons and liked many different castle additions both functional and pretty. Not the Christmas tree. I have seen many put their name or league name in shrubbery. There are many things you can do to make your castle look like fun.

Thanks guys (and gals) for your input.  It's given me a starting point!

Anjesayo, here's one for u

Ask them where is Victor castle, their Marshall will know. He might have changed his name or quit, he had lag problems. 

But you must see his castle. 

Ask Red, Socks, Freenzy or Kahuna. Those will know we he is. 

Most castle are just loaded with stuffs, but his is beautiful

Hi Anje! Your castle is always fun to visit. I like the plantings.

Other favorite castles ... I quite like the way that Walter of ARGENTOS Hermandad has his paths and enclosures going at moment. The "Avenue of mausoleums" thing with the sarcophagi, and the square and plantings around his Spring of Life are nice. The "stableyard" pallisade for the hitching posts is also fun.

The castle layout looks symbolic. It also tells a tale. I liked how the road in the West looks like. It reminds me of long walk to freedom. The tombs symbolises the struggle and death before light, which is represented by the angel. 

Maybe we should have a competition with castle design. The competition about making our castle to look in a certain way in symbolises of something in real life. 

If you have any idea please post it below. Just suggest how these contest will run, what it should be about ect

The story my castle tells is pretty much: "OH GOD, WHERE CAN I MAKE ROOM FOR THAT?"

@betenoirmobile

Thanks Tony!  I appreciate that.  I am going to incorporate the corral idea too :)

@Oracle

Nice suggestion, but it feels like you guys would have your hands full with implementing such a contest.    I think the theme in the castle Betenoirmobile was pointing out is something like,   the only true freedom is in death  (I've heard a quote a lot like that somewhere). 

Anyhoos, a contest could pick a theme or a famous one line quote, and make it so.  Either everyone do the same theme, or everyone pick from a gaggle of them. 

My castle tells a story, I just want more stuff to decorate with (and ideas to use what we already have :) ).

Thanks for taking me serious too :)

Mine was organized until I found out about roads. When I started putting down roads, i moved everything out of the way. Later, by accident I found I could have simply left everything in place and added the roads under them. Once my roads are down, I an reorganize and maybe even make it look great. 

let me just say this ..... too much stuff in a castle is terrible!!! lol I rarely visit castles now because of it :/

Yep, the big junked up castle get a trip and no wraith or guard raised from me. 3 min to load a castle is ridiculous.

So because players are trying to protect their castle and your tripwires you can't be bothered to help them. That does not sound like teamwork. I would suggest you ask for loading time improvements rather than failing to help your teammates.

So sending them a trip is not helping them? And the persistent serial trouble makers i make a note to move next to them and slap the snot out of them.

I must have a better computer and internet than I thought I bought.... NO castle takes me more than 15 seconds to load, even my own fat one.  I'm also almost apologetic to anyone visiting :( 

Yours doesn't seem to be taking an inordinate amount of time to load, Anje.

Here's mine but didn't realise how much the roads affected the loading of the castle. I would like most of these roads to be exchanged for saphs, so I can add other improvements instead. (I heard that this has been done before and would appreciate help)

and saw this one in Dark Phoenix and would liked to have said my walls were first, but they weren't.

@Anjesayo

Prettifying castles isnt popular in this community therefore no links. You can start new topic about it if you want to though. Maybe few people will share their experience in "making things cute".

I can't say there aren't any  ''website'' links, and sorry but I can't help you. That is not my job. 

I provided the best help available . And I know it will help the player. I gave a link to the most beautiful castle I know, and i know if Victor is still arround he will help her. 

Please refrain from moderating moderators. If you can't provide any helpful input into a topic, then don't comment when someone does. 

You are by far the ***** moderator I have ever seen in all my 18-20 years of online gaming.

You really are hopeless. I am pretty sure helping players is what moderators here supposed to do. So it is your job.

"If you can't provide any helpful input into a topic, then don't comment when someone does." You should print that and put next to your keyboard. Practice what you preach.
