: Added a ladder so people can get on and off the walls, added battlements
: to the front wall, diddled the left door in the top tower, diddled the
: drawbridge and water around it to fit into the perspective better, added
: horse by Andreas Freise, which fitted into the perspective perfectly 
: after turning it around.

: BTW: On the subjectof the 3 changes I mentioned. I took texturing the
:      walls and the bridge as one change: texturing surfaces in general.

Ah - well I liked one but not the other...*shrug*

It might just be my font, but those front battlements just dont work for me.

I dont think I'll keep those battlements on the turret, or the '|' windows
on the front turret - theyre not repeatable on other turrets. Not sure about
the battlements at the back either...

Somehow this extra detail does make it look more 'real' :) Thanks everyone.
