Most of the castles we visit are far away from the cities. Getting there by public transportation is quite difficult. In some cases there is only one or two buses/trains that depart to that castle per day.

Earlier castles were normally built of timber and earth. They were very hastily built, but their ineffectiveness was evident when fire was employed against them.

Many players forget to get the murder holes technology in the university. Without this, any type of unit could hack away as long as it wanted to at the base of the castle and not be touched.

Castles started appearing in Europe in 1066. Their construction came to a halt when gunpowder was implemented many centuries later.

Some castles can be seen today. Nevertheless, most have been lost due to wars, etc. Many lords demolished castles so they could build themselves a palace with the stone retrieved. This happened very frequently, but even more frequently did nobles bought a castle and remodeled it.

I inherited property owned by my Father and Mother, which they had in turn received from their Parents. 7 Greater houses, 17 lesser houses. I became custodian to property owned by the Crown, accumulated over the centuries but not actually owned by the person on the throne. 14 Medieval castles but they were too far away and cold so I rarely ever visited them, if at all. I bought and built private property which I own personally.

I draw them myself. For the first few years, I visited libraries wherever I travelled, looking for previously unseen books about castles. I photocopied pictures and plans for hundreds of real castles, and kept them in alphabetical stacks. Once I had gathered enough information about a castle, that castle's pictures was moved to the short stack of castles to be drawn in Lego "minifig-scale" - the size Lego knights and ladies could live in. Now I do most of my searching on the internet.

This is not a simple question to answer! We need to look at your garden as a main grassy area which is surrounded by obstacles. The obstacles cannot be too close to the castle without causing damage to it and danger to the children, a low obstacle such as a raised manhole cover can be closer to the castle than a tall one such as a garden shed because there is relatively little movement at the bottom.

Generally our bouncy castles are for children only, however some may be used by teenagers or adults provided that a "Teenager" or "Adult" hire charge is paid. Price list

We provide a free rain cover for all bouncy castles except the flat topped 15x15, this is because our manufacturers have advised us that the span is too great and the cover would simply sag too low in the middle.

We try to be as flexible as we can and work around you as much as we can, we have in the past delivered as early as 8:30am and collected as late as 11:00pm but we do need to work around times which may already have been promised to other customers and sensible bedtimes for our 7 year old son if there is school the next day!

Unlike many other castles on the market that have open front or sides, Disney castles offer full safety meshing which makes it almost impossible for your child to fall out. They also have a correctly designed entrance way to ensure a safe entry or exit. Firm anchoring eliminates the risk of a castle tipping over. The castles have been carefully constructed to meet and exceed the criteria set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

The reason I ask is that it hasn't worked for me, the enemy just breezes right past the keep, takes the town, and then kicks out my poor garrison in the keep. Thats not good for troop morale Perhaps its because the keep was finished AFTER the enemy army originally set out to attack my town. Guess I'll do some more testing. Cerberus: I think you might be right there. I finished building a keep just before an enemy army arrived there. I stuck a garrison in it and they walked on by to my town.

Castles had multiple purposes. Protecting peasants and nobles was the most important reason why castles were widely built. Additionally, many lords and kings did frequently construct castles for the sake of power - since it was realized that such a huge construction could show a lord's might throughout the kingdom.

With the introduction of gunpowder, castles proved to be useless. Even the mightiest of castles was no match against a cannon.

Castles were normally built by kings and lords. In the Middle Ages, there was a law that prohibited nobles from building them.
