My Castlevania Themed Castle so far.

[D`Sparil]

Let me know what you think. I put a lot of work into it and was a huge fan of SOTN and the earlier games as well.

I feel it's mostly finished, needs servants/prisoners and more seeds. maybe a few minor adjustments. i fixed the misaligned mist braziers at the beginning.

this is the castle I always wanted to build on V Rising and with the full release, I think I pulled it off.

EDIT: Castle is not finished as stated, added a floating tower, adding clock tower and dining hall/ballroom.

I really like it, you managed to make it feel "spacey", I see some castles that have very nice details but sometimes I'm like I don't want to walk around in my castle feeling so "constricted" though. I do feel the first floor could use more details maybe?

Thanks for the feedback. The first floor i left bare because i couldn't think of any decos to slap around it at the time. The castle isn't finished, its just at a place i am happy with for now.

The design was almost accidental it felt like.

I like it...

Of course its huge, You have like 9 floors, compared to measly 3 floors that are available on standard server.
Still a nice castle.

Thanks a lot! Glad to see people liked it.

I would say the only thing missing is stairs leading to a floating tower that is your personal room like in all Castlevania games.

this is why you don't try to build on someone else's server. which I learned that lesson a while ago you want to go wild and artistic. solo is the way to go I'm building a 2700 tile castle that can have 10 floors.

Trust me, I wanted to go that route but I could not figure out how I was going to pull it off. maybe I can alter it someway, we'll see.

Will 2700 tiles work? I saw someone on here say it starts to crash around 1100 so I stopped at 931.

Thank you for this comment. it has motivated me to make the coffin room coming out of the throne patio up stairs to make the castle 10 stories(this is apparently the hard max)

I also found a way to add a clock tower and maybe some other castlevania themed area i haven't thought of that would normally be at higher levels.... maybe a ballroom or dining hall.

I tested it and it seems you are able to build in mid air. You just got to keep it in the castle plot till a mod comes around that allows us to build outside the plot.

I don't know if it will work but found it in the ini so I'm going to give it a shot maybe a issue with PC spec too. wouldn't be the first game that couldn't contain my artistic vision lol.

If I could ask for 3 things right now from the Devs it would be.
Better Outer Walls: It seems like they started on this, but stopped after wood. If you want stone walls, you have to waste tiles by taking the roof off. Having a stone outer wall would be cool.

Placing the Heart on Higher Levels: The fact that you can’t place the heart on higher levels is a shame, especially for aesthetics and PvP. I wanted to put it in the throne room, and I plan to build it on at least the third floor. However, the requirement for it to be on the ground makes that impossible. From what little I’ve heard about PvP, killing the heart is akin to killing Dracula, which is all the more reason to hide it on another level.

Building Outside of Plots on Higher Levels: I’m halfway through building my castle, and there have been a few times when I would have loved to build a tile or two outside of the plot. This would allow me to create a balcony or a staircase to the next level. Real-life castles often had such features, so I don’t see why there is an issue.

Yeah, this was an issue i ran into while trying to build the throne room, i was forced to build balconys i didn't want, but it gave me the opportunity to turn that into the staircase led room you suggested.

[Pay Child Suport]

where are my long narrow hallways?

[Evilsod]

I'd been hoping to build a tall front section, then a throne room with a tall rear section that would serve as the private quarters, with a corridor that would link them to an otherwise inaccessible 5th floor over the front.

Alot of the plots simply aren't big enough though, which is disappointing, and the 5 floor limit really prevented it from working too.
