These are the drawings of Hohenzollern Castle I've been working on for the last week. I'm going to draw in the courtyard and the entryway on my tablet, then start coloring it all.

If you're not familiar with the Hohenzollern Dynasty, they were the rulers of Prussia. They had one of the most formidable armies in Europe and, in 1871, they made a country called Germany, which you may have heard of.

But, no matter how impressive a performance you put on, if you want that gold medal, you've gotta nail the dismount. And the Hohenzollerns fell flat on their faces. Their last ruler was Wilhelm II, a man one might describe as the final season of Game of Thrones in human form.

Anyway, whatever. They had a really cool castle and that's the important part. I'm gonna get back to work on it.

I love this castle! I was especially impressed by the looping path to the entrance. It forces any attackers to breach several (five?) gates one after another while being completely exposed to archers and other defences every single time. To the eye of tourists, most defensive structures on castles just look like oddities or, at best, decorations, but THIS was frightingly obvious. I hope this feature will be included in your map. Could be a "fun" place to play out a siege. Or you could make that elaborate looping ramp an optional feature for those who want "just" a cool castle.
