Practice castle

[Endarguul]

At first I have to say... wow! This map is brilliant. I love it. Ah and btw thx for the short tut on making trees.

Now I also have some ideas to fill the spare rooms:
Depedning on whether you this is supposed to be a medieval, modern or fantasy castle you might want to add a chapel for the stuff. The stuff might even be socially divided so there may be some rooms for lower servants (e.g. stableman, maidservants etc.) and some rooms, maybe in the other wing for higher servants (e.g. scribes, scholars etc.)
maybe you want to add some storing rooms next to the kitchen or even have several kitchens (as they often divided the kitchen into several rooms in the middle ages, so they had a bakery, a soup kitchen, a cookshop etc.).

Only suggestions of an unworthy, as always

This is getting better and better... not so sure the barracks would be split up into so many rooms, except for the officers. I think the rest would probably just be a couple of larger rooms. You'll probably want to add an armory somewhere near the barracks as well.

Yeah, I'd be saying you need to convert a number of those small rooms into significantly larger rooms for barracks. There should be a separate barracks for pages/squires for the proper men-at-arms.

Also maintaining chainmail/armour requires some significant workspace and most of the soldiers would do it themselves or have the pages/squires do it.
(Chews up another room).

You'd have a Weaponry and an Armoury I'd also suspect and potentially a practice hall (chewing up more space).

The only people likely to get private rooms would be the Captain of the Guard and maybe the Sergeant at Arms.

OK first floor is done, pending any further landscaping (which I'll probably tinker with before getting up the gumption to tackle the other floors). Whoops, forgot some doors on the right side outer wall.

It is looking really amazing. The lighting is just incredible and the texturing is sweet. Pro quality stuff!

If I had one complaint (and I don't, really) it'd be that it's too regular. I'm sure you'll probably take care of some of that when you finalize it but I'd just suggest maybe putting a chair or two askew and flipping up the corner of a rug or something. Give it some life, IMHO.

WOW! I am very humbled by your castle. I'm just starting out as a Cartographer, and I hope to do even half this good someday.

Most REP worthy.

a great map indeed and getting better and better... and thx for the tutorial on the trees/plants. I also really like the lights/night atmosphere. As for rooms, not sure what they'd need more: maybe a laundry, hospital and some guest rooms. Small request from a smoker: can the smoking lounge have a chair?

It needs a dungeon.... a dungeon of death!!!

Very nice.. I do have to agree with Mearrin, there needs to be a bit more chaos IMO. In the barracks, there are a group of 8(2 by 4 rooms) that are perfectly aligned and some how, that just feels wrong to me. Also, while I like the carpets as a whole, I would love to see more variation in them, both in color and weaved design.

I LOVE the gardens you got going on.... those are simply superb!

I completely agree with you all about the rigid orderly look. But since turning things and adding in a bit of chaos will require me to do all of that manually and take a really long time I have chosen to forego it. At least for now since this is just practice. I still have 2 upper layers and 2 basement layers to go and my steam is running pretty low as you can imagine. Doing all of that would certainly give it that "lived-in" look I'm just not too excited about actually doing it
