How to build the Walled Courtyard Castle

Corner towers
On each corner build a 7 by 7 tower 14 tall, hollow inside with a floor level with the wall walk, doors onto the walk and the courtyard and a ladder to the roof.
- 3
Gatehouse
In the middle of the front wall build a 7 by 3 gatehouse 11 tall with a 3 by 4 arch and merlons.

Keep
At the back of the courtyard build an 11 by 11 keep 15 tall with spruce floors, a roof, merlons and 3 by 3 corner turrets.

Details
Lay a gravel path from gate to keep, add lantern posts and hay bales and weather the bricks.
