So does this ruleout anyone with synaesthesia from being a soldier? In that case i'll definetely be a miner. Also do you need miner captains/leaders? These people could be in charge of a small group of 5-10 miners. The miners under the leaders command would give all collected resources to him and he in turn would give them to the builders. This would mean you would not have all the miners going back and fourth to give the builders resources.

This is what I had in mind concerning the first zone, or battle zone for the castle.
In the centre of the pit is Hell Castle, surrounded by lava here, for the benefit of contrast. Then comes the first wall, or great wall. Sheer and solid. The smooth stone slabs represent the Keeps for each of the sectors of the war zone. Perhaps the sectors could extend back into each zone, and either have a keep to command a zone in the sector or one keep to command each zone of its prescribed sector. I think all eight sectors should be independent of one another, as this will prevent the problem of the foe having an easy castle to conquer.
The walls here I did of cobble just for contrast, the second wall within the war zone should have a good vantage over the great wall, and the third wall or first wall of the second zone, should have a good vantage over that. This isn't meant to be a castle to keep things out, its meant to keep them in, so I think that if shaped like a bowl, then nothing is likely to spill out. Numerous fall back advantages such as these are important. So the next outer wall after the smooth stone wall you see will be taller again.
The green area you see is the prescribed staging zone, this is where companies will form up before patrol, or for sortie's out to meet the enemy. The red zone is no-man's land, where skirmishes may take place and where patrols take place. I still think that the great wall flush with the ground would be ideal, as this would mean it would offer no disadvantage to us were it taken, while at the same time presenting a massive obstacle to the enemy.
This design with concentric walls and orderly sectors, will allow for a clean cut defence strategy and hamper the enemy in every way it can.

Ok garrett, but in the area you call redzone i was thinking there should be garrisons with fortificcations and towers for fast and easy troop deployment. Also i hope itll be a little more circular. Ill post a ms paint version of what i sort of expected.
I think to make it look good and in the interest of safety, we should make the inner wall 1 block above the ground level. This means you would not be hampered for shoooting arrows, you could still jump on it if you really wanted to, people would not fall in on accident, and it will look a little better. Around this wall there will be several towers areound the perimeter that will have people watching the gates so we can know the minute the assault begins.
@roopot, sandstone is particularly inneffective as it is easy to destroy, it takes very few hits.

Do you have to apply to be one of this group or is it anyone who can?
ok im horrible with ms paint apparently. I cant even get a proper circle. So instead, fitz i need you to show me the site. i will then build segements of structures to show what were looking for and give details about what we need.
But i really do need to see the build site

Well, i have another idea.. I have read about legion and vangarrett discussing the size of the walls and i have an idea of sorts, why not build the arrow firing area under the walls? out of materials such as diamond or obsidian, this awy they have a clear view of the enemy and can form a front line of sorts whilst still being protected, just a thought. I will try to post a picture of what i mean later today
it's all up in the air right now.

Okay, I have picture of my idea for the bases of the walls, they are compact and a normal wall can be built on them, they also offer very good views of anything in front of the area, and since i designed these to be under most areas of the wall, they are also quite quick to assemble ~5 mins work

Well my lands have been unaffected by th evil and corruption, Whitewood still stands strong amid the chaos, the magic of the forest warding off the evil and corruption. Supposedly stronger places have fallen, yet my castle remains strong. I think I shall simply reside here until the end off days, and decline your gracious offer, the beds here are much more comfortable, the books more interesting, and a higher concentration of cakes to be had.
(ooc) to any would be greifing kings I am currently in the process of moving back to university and so will be unable to get on much these next few days. It will be judged severely poor sport were I to return and find my castle in ruins, and probably bad for roleplay too considering it and the forest are protected by magicks more ancient and more potent than either queen grief or the dastardly kings of altera.
