Topic: [74608] Castle wall upgrade to leval 4 and Keep, towers

[-74608] KingMcNugget [None] :: March 2, 2012, 11:46 p.m.
Wouldn't be cool if you can upgrade your walls to level 4? Same with your towers and Keep. You can like make them black with spears or spikes all over them. So you can have a fierce more protective castle tell me what you all think!!!! :D:D

Why would they turn black because they are better? I've never heard of a medieval castle that was black.

do not forget he said it had SPIKES anyway great idea but maybe they could incorpoate it in the research tower so the walls are stronger

[1354426] KingMcNugget [None] :: March 3, 2012, 1:07 p.m.
Yes oh and there black because they are the strongest walls there is same with the towers and spikes! OR maybe you can also have a lava moat maybe. I don't know maybe. we'll have to wait and see what the board members think

Not without new Siege tools. +80% walls requires 8 Ladders, leaving only 2 to take out Defensive tools at 20%. It's hard enough getting through now. Attackers need a boost first.

You didn't answer my question of why they would be black because they are stonger.
I have never heard of any medieval castles that were black. The walls would be made of stone and therefore be grey. It make them black they would have to be painted and no lord in their right mind would ever have spent a fortune on paint for their castle.

i think thats an awsome idea oh... and there should be like a thing that can make the wall be level 2 but make them taller so like duble the height!

[1354432] KingMcNugget [None] :: March 3, 2012, 11:51 p.m.
Who cares if there black! What do you want them to be pink!!!!! Blue?!!!!!! Rainbow!!!????? Grrr.

[1354433] Andrea50 [None] :: March 3, 2012, 11:58 p.m.
yeah higher wall and better looking is the key this could be a new level and attackers can easily get through they just weakened the defense tools of moats again and weakened the moat siege tools on the front alone can be 300% bonus per wave

You're the one who said the 4th level walls should be black because they are better. I'm wondering what the connection between the walls being black and being better is.
I also pointed out that I've never heard of a medieval castle that is black. This is a medieval game. Not fantasy. No medieval Lord in their right mind would pay a fortune to paint their castle black. A fortune is what it would cost, because I doubt there even was so much black paint being produced in all of Europe at the time.

[1354435] KingMcNugget [None] :: March 4, 2012, 3:42 a.m.
Of course there is a BLACK castle. Where do you think the BLACK knight lived!!! Awwww i guess you want them pink OK a pink castle with flowers OR how bout a blue castle with BLUE FLOWERS. NO no a rainbow castle with rainbow monkeys!!!! RAWR!P.s NOT all castles are in Europe!

[1354443] Kapten-N [None] :: March 4, 2012, 11:25 a.m.
You're still suggesting that the castle should be some other colour than stone. If the walls are made of stone they are the colour of stone because no one would afford to pay for paint to cover the walls, not to mention that painting the walls are pretty pointless. It doesn't matter if there were castles outside Europe. I'm just saying that so much paint would be impossible to come by.
Since you bring up the black knight you are obviously confusing medieval with fantasy.
Give me an example of a real medieval castle that was black and I'll give in.

And don't patronize me. From the way you write I can tell that I'm clearly older and more mature than you are.

Does Disneyland count? Oh wait, you said a real medieval castle, well I'm stumped :)

REALLY kapten????????????????????????
REALLY? ARe you arguing about a black castle? WHAT DO YOU WANT IT TO BE???
GGS will choose. Black seems like a good idea actually... it is sleak and strong looking.

[1354451] Kapten-N [None] :: March 5, 2012, 11:44 a.m.
Why do you kids keep asking the same thing?

Let me break it down for you:
1. This is a medieval game. Not fantasy.
2. In medieval times the amount of paint required to paint a whole castle black, or any other colour for that matter, would be near impossible to come by and cost more money than any lord could possibly afford.
3. Most lords were smarter than to try it. There's much better ways to spend your money and painting you castle is pretty pointless.
4. You have yet to provide an exampe of a REAL medieval castle that was black or any colour other than the colour of the material it was built from.

i say i totaly agree with King Mc Nugget and jiwinner3! If MY castle was black, then it will surely look like a DOOM castle! i LOVE the idea! ill also say that ill add some manly yellow unicorns and rainbow monkeys to it as well. and dude, who CARES if you don't like the idea of a castle being black? what color do you want it? a weak purple? a unmaly pink? yellow with lemons? or how about all the colors in one so you won't be so picky about it and it will blind your eyeballs! and please, this is a fun little game where everyone can make their own sugestions to it, and just have fun playing it. its not supposed to be serious. so lighten up and GO KING MC NUGGETS IDEA! WOOOOOO! FOOT BALL KING DOOM YES.

Not that I'm against the idea (I don't mind about the colour, so long as there is an upgrade), but what's your point? That castle's hardly painted black all over...

Oh and once again.. it's not medieval but Disneyland is real :)

[1354470] Itt2 [None] :: March 5, 2012, 8:48 p.m.
No, it's not black all over. But large portions of it are. And they aren't painted.

It is a real medieval castle. Constructed in several steps from 1279 to 1442.

But, the walls in the game don't need an upgrade.

[1354485] flashstriker [None] :: March 6, 2012, 6:06 p.m.
guys maybe u should look what else he said he said maybe it could have spikes or spears. maybe u should forget the coluer and go with the other part of the idea
