A minor thing, but....

I'm with you HATE THAT.


Actually re-reading your post - I have to say:

You're alone I don't find it slightly annoying - I find it extremely annoying.

Only thing I can suggest is to build the castle inside the walls, not as part of them. Then you can build the walls in a way that fits. It doesn't help the castle not lining up though. Stupid EA - they really seem to do this quite a bit.

I think they were thinking "the gates need to be as wide as roads/paths" which makes sense.

Nuts. I had not yet noticed that but now I'm annoyed too

But thank you for pointing it out so we can plan accordingly!

Then they should have made the castle 4 or 6 squares wide. Things should line up easily with decorations designed to go with them.

I'm just upset that there are no taco restaurants!

The castle gates are 4 wide, yet the castle itself is 5 wide.

This means that no matter how I arrange it, the gates and castle will not line up. It also means that the walls will not fit together without having one turned to the side so its 1 wide instead of 2.

Yes I know its a small thing to get ocd over but I cant be the only one who finds this slightly annoying

..... or am I?

Lol this was pecking my head the other day trying to line up my walls couldn't work out why it wasn't lining up, then i noticed the castle was a 5 block an the gates was a 4 block, i had to put the castle in the middle and build the wall around it, it's still annoying though as the castle sits 1 block to either side inside the castle walls.

The box castle is a 4 block not got the gates for that yet, but they will probably be a 3 block or 5 block.

I think those are meant to be the castle keeps. Google it. They go inside the walls. But yeah, for flexibility they should have matched up.

Don't think so they are the towers that go on the sides of the walls. There is usually only one keep which sometimes can be within another wall inside for extra protection, but it was the last stronghold.

I'm sure this is correct.

Exactly! :-D

I'm talking about what the OP is calling a "castle". Agreed there is only one keep per castle, but we have three castles in this game, and hence three keeps. We also have towers, and walls, and a gate for each castle.

lol I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. Kinda strange, isn't it?

And a taco place of 1 block wide would make it work perfectly, and give us tacos.
