Yours is solid af! I like your setup very much! But why the extra 3 granaries Isn't 12 enough? I'm not sure if the extra 3 produce that much but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks! I am not too sure about that, I just pretty much thought that they look good there. At the moment I produce +7,5k food there, I would like more.. Someone wiser, help please?

Sure! There's still 3 gaps, just can't get rid of them

the 4 maybe 5 year old thorn king and blade coast deco would fill that perfectly as they are bigger then the market thingy and fit perfectly xD

Mine isn't as fancy, but I have no gaps with 11 wood/stone, and food buildings at main. Most Deco are castle Gardens.

Others things in there:

16 Ornamental Trees (for those small spaces)

4 Theaters (best deco for that 4x4 spaces)

1 Guardhouse (Since only need 1 for quests)

and 1 Construction Crane (to fix more things at once).

Before transformation^                                       After \/

I have more guardhouses and resource producers than most of the bigger players, but I am not powerful enough to discourage small attacks without them, so that is why I have them. The resource producers are there to help increase production. Yes, I can loot a fairly goodly amount.
I came up with these to minimize the use of ornamental trees and wasted space, as ornamental trees are not as efficient in PO/space taken as market stalls or theaters.
Decos are mainly castle gardens, or same-sized items with higher PO
In storm, I don't care as much about wasted space. If you keep res builders, you could use the "before" layout. If not, then the "after" one. Fill the rest of the space with cargo ships or sth
Sorry the post is kinda long, but I felt that the layouts were worth showing you folks

Optimal food production at main is @21 Grains now with the construction yard food widgets. I put 6 of the % ones on my top grains down to the 50% production one, and the base food widgets on 15 of them, each base widget can make 200 food when maxed so you pull 1 deco and add 2 grains that can make 400 food with widgets alone.

Not nearly as high as yours  
Of course, I am much lower in Legendary levels, and in a smaller alliance, so smaller food production is expected.
I have less PO, and lower lvl granaries

So, as the title says,
what do you think is the best main castle layout? Here's mine, feel free to share yours. 
I would like to see some different options.

Well, since we're giving away all the secrets, here's my MC's food production. I've never met anyone with higher, but I'm sure someone must have higher. My food increases are: vip 9, hunting lodge, food overseer and the sun flag. No beri bonus or metros (it adds an addition 1000 fd/hr or so):

(I made the shot large enough to include the research tower so you know it's the MC and not an OP):

That looks sexy.

I love it when people set their castles up like this, and it looks epic.
