Cookieyoto Castle - The Build

As many of you already know I enjoy the building aspect of the
game. For this seed I hearkened back to a former life lived as
the master of a Japanese Castle. Inspired by Himeji castle, and
based on that structure design. I was in the process of
creating a large gardens area at the back of the castle with
additional walls and two more towers, but did not get pictures
of those. Still had some work left to do. However, at the
completion of the main complex I set down a series of pictures
to save it for posterity. Hopefully some of you were able to
visit this build because I did not capture the full complexity
and detail of the build with this small set of images.

A lot of filling and foundation went into this one. AB42 was
constantly wondering when I would actually start making
something that looked more than just a pile of dirt and blocks.
Took some effort but the castle eventually sprouted from the
ground.

The build was established on the road leading north out of
Ground Zero, right next to a church that was being built by
Andyman. Total of five stories after rising above the ground on
a foundation that lifted the main complex about 10 blocks.
Various towers and out buildings.

A view of the front courtyard. Entrance to the main structure
was up a ramp on the left of the complex, past a small guard
post and through the gates of doom. Easily defenseable against
a melee armed opponent. Of course archers would be in the main
complex and the towers raining arrow death upon the invaders.

The main gate entrance. To the right is the main structure and
to the left is a side tower complex, about three stories high
and built with plates so the walls are thin, and it is easy to
see out the windows. Also included to small towers on top.

View of the cook house set on the side of the main structure.
Includes various cookfires and work tables, supplies and food
stuffs stored in the second floor, which also acts as a
defensive position.

The forges are set behind the main structure, as well as a shite
house. Includes forges to keep weapons in repair and a second
floor where armor and equipment is repaired and stored.

View of the back of the main structure and side tower, still
inside the back wall. To the right is also a cistern full of
water to assist in dousing fire attacks and to provide for water
in case of a long siege.

Main floor of the main structure, using lots of portion blocks
to create rafters and support beams. Poles and portion concrete
blocks work great for this (1/4 blocks, 1/2 blocks, etc). Also
have a big dragon serpent head on the back wall with a tail that
extends around the room.
