I've been checking out the upcoming castle designs on the TC. There are some really nice ones! I am curious though as to why more of these 30x30x4 behemoths aren't better utilizing teleport? Maybe they are and just better concealed than my clunky, laggy machine can handle ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Style wise my favorite ones are The Sandstone and Lacrimae in Caelo. The bottom 2 floors of the Sandstone have a wonderful open area perfect for a sprawling shop/lab/whatever you want. Hitting the pair of single stairs right by front entrance was a bit clunky for me.
SOOO disappointed in the Lacrimae in Caelo- I could only visit the bottom floor- I couldn't get up the funky L-stairs and of course no teleport that I could find :-( Screenshots show that it has a lot of open room to work with.
The Okinawa Castle is perfect for RP. I also love how after gaining access to bottom floor there is a door to restrict access to the upper levels. Again I wish for teleport option to facilitate navigation.
I like the Camelot and Grimswind Sisters for their functionality. Quick access to a workshop area. Love the courtyard leading to main entrance of Grimswind but the second floor loses me with it's door fest. Thankfully the 3rd & 4th levels are free flowing and not so tedious. Also the 'secret' dungeon/ mad laboratory on the bottom floor is awesome.
The Camelot is very functional which I love but the 2 main downsides is that I don't find the outside very appealing- I'm sure it could be dressed up with proper décor. The other issue I have is that except for the 3rd floor balcony the rest of the castle can be accessed without going through a door/teleport. I am all about the eliminating doors and having open designs, but that can be accomplished with a discreet teleport pad by entrance thereby blocking random monsters and nefarious players.
If I had to pick one though, it would be The Robin's Roost. I like the easy access to workshop area on bottom floor along with TELEPORT tiles to each of the other 3 levels. Also the 2nd floor balcony was wonderfully done combining style and functionality. It would be a toss up on whether it's enough to pull me away from The Spires and it's bounty of open space along with super easy navigation- I *almost* forget it doesn't have teleport tiles lol

[bcolor=transparent]Just FYI on the TC- you can only 'Securely Convert..' to same size classic house once before being hit with the 87kish second timer. Also only allowed one demolish per hour which means can do 4 designs the first hour, then only 2 in between demolishes after that. Slow going but thankful to get a walkthrough before plopping down 45ish mil+ on production shard even if a chunk of that is eventually refundable. [/bcolor]
