Here stands tall & proud the walls of Shogun Akiyama! Whether this castle rest on shore, up a mountain, or in a desert, it’s been covered & drawn in great detail. No bloody battle could break these mighty walls … right? A surprising degree of spookiness for this map. It’s mostly the ‘deadlands’ variants that give me that feel, I think, but between the blood moons & the massacres the rest of the themes get plenty of it too. This castle is prepped for a siege; just supply the combatants. Thoughts Multiple simultaneous attack angles work nicely. Walls like these are neutralized by flying beasts. The design of this castle implies it exists in a realm where those are rare. Perhaps it’d be a shock to the occupants to see them employed. Those great barricading foundation walls by the sea (or grasslands, for some variants) could probably be scaled if you were slippery enough. Contents Shoreline Castle Exterior: A Japanese castle on the coast & its surroundings! Sandland: No rivers in the desert here. Just a lonely fortress with a patch of greenery. Grasslands & Forests: Two separate environments for those who don’t want their castle to be on the shore! Forests are dangerous for a castle; who can see what’s coming? Deadlands: An accursed land, or a demon’s realm? A seemingly haunted castle with a much darker tone, surrounded by fierce thorny woods. Night Variants: For all location themes! Fog: For all location themes! Rain: For all location themes! Sandland gets a sandstorm instead. Massacre: A bloody slaughter swept through here long before you arrived! For all location themes! Aurora: A brilliant aurora! To celebrate something? An earth-shaking omen? For all location themes! Blood Moon: A creeping scarlet mist, a bloody tone to the skies. Where water rests, it turns a brilliant red and stings of iron. For all location themes!
