: spot the 3 main differences :)

Drawbridge detail, wall detail, flag, turret...wells?

I count 4 :)

The drawbridge looks lots better - well, I'm sortof hoping noone's noticing
the fact that the drawbridge isnt going straight out fromn the wall - its
at a slant in order to use the '\'s, and the fact that if the drawbridge were
lifted up it'd easily go over the front wall...but anyway :)

The turret wells look great...but I'm not sure about the wall details. Well,
this is my re-re-re-diddle :)

I've messed with quite a lot of things - for some reason I really don't like 
using '\' unless its really wanting a line in that direction, and the '>'s
are the same I think - they're too clearly marking out the directions - in
order to give the illusion of a line going in the right direction I need to
be vaguer - '+' does it nicely :)

And I bet everyone's tried putting those narrow windows in? I think its
impossible to get it to work :)
