[BB17] Vasluxian Border Castle

Post by Dienekes22 » Mon Mar 06, 2017 10:48 pm

The city state of Vasluxia was built eons ago. With a strong network of border castles and fortifications the Vasli have successfully kept invaders from their capital for many years. These stone fortifications stand tall over the surrounding grasslands and represent the furthest reaches of Vasluxian military power.

To the rear the keep squats below the guard towers, the administrative hub for the surrounding peoples.

Great little castle, but suffers in the substance department due to simple building techniques. It works well with the build, but in a competitive context it's a little different. I really like the rounded tower.
