I've played Shogun II over the years more than any other two players combined. It's the best game CA made. I've now played through multiple sieges with your castle mod. It has renewed the game. I love this mod.

I wouldn't change it. And one of my castles was attacked and the attackers climbed the outer wall through a moat. Not sure if this is true for every castle. I attacked one and couldn't, but it seemed somewhat eccentric as I was able to climb some walls and not others. On the whole, I think you've hit on a very workable formula. The models are ever so much better than vanilla or the other castle mods.

@wm.j.olson thx. I know it is overpowered. like what japanese castle actually was. I admit that it is too easy to defend and too annoying to manually attack in campaign(because you can't climb outer walls). so I'm thinking of creating much simpler, balanced(working good for ai) yet interesting version of maps(perhaps 7maps like this series). I don't know when though

Your castle mods are an excellent addition. Makes the defense a bit overpowered, but, then castles were hard to take before modern artillery and even then they often required long sieges. I hope you keep them up to date, although, I'm not sure that they will need much.
