Post your own killer fortress or try your hand at crushing the castles of others. For users posting their own creations, please consider the following guidelines:
Give your castle a title. This will allow other members to easily reference it in their comments. Show off your work with a screenshot. A great tool for screenshots and videos is Jing. Provide a description or hint. If your castle has any notable features or specific tactics make sure to let people know about them. Don't forget your link. Simply copy the link directly from the Crush the Castle Players Pack editor and paste it in your post.
We had a ton of fun making this game and are really looking forward to seeing what you can do! Who knows, me may even use it in another version of the game.

I built the castle "on ground", example 0~p_t:700,400|. And then I changed the second number (400) into -20000. 0~p_t:700,-20000|. So when you build a castle with many pieces, you have to substract always the same number from the second number of every piece, then it stays the same when flying down. But it's a kind of lucky that this castle didn't selfdestroy itself when impacting on ground
Nice job on the Fire Squad Light. I don't mind if people use any of my designs or come up with ways to make them better. I thought it was neat that the sharpened stakes also caused the platform you built around the kings to topple over to the side. I did not expect that it would do that so nicely.
Question for the board - Does anyone know if it is possible to place the amunition the trebuchetuses in the castle area?
Cmptrgeek01 - weapons and trebucket cannot be moved!
Castlenovice - here's one for you. Build a castle around the lonesome princess. Maybe with guards. Build a Castle
This is a multiple launch level and one launchpad is used twice!
Oh yea, so I don't double post - I was knocking people out of the air in Space Invaders and low and behold, launched one queen back towards the trebuchet and she lived!
The Queen warned the king it was not a good idea to put the statue up on the rampart, but did he listen nooo. He had to do things his way oh well. He also should have had the guest room fixed.
This castle can be taken down with the small triple rocks. Try to aim for the king on his pedestal. Have fun.
I used less filler to make it load quicker. It is kind of funny how on the load it looks like it will fall apart on its own, but then straightens itself out.

Yeah CourtJester, the cleanest thing is hypothetical, all space invaders to the right. What we like are surprises, right? Will check your castle right away
CourtJester: Your flipping & building arts are amazing, honestly! I think you can build around. I was just thinking builing a "real" well-sized castle around your previous sample ....
Hello again; I'm glad my first castle was accepted so well! I have submitted a brand new challenge for your review. Be warned, though; slower computers (like mine) may have difficulty running this one. I give you...The Emperor's Pagoda.
The original idea for this castle was to simply create a structure similar to a Japanese pagoda (do a Google Image Search if you don't know what I mean). You may have caught one of my many attempts to perfect the design as well, though I was plagued with castles that collapsed by themselves with no known cause in sight. After numerous rounds of perfection and several differences by mere pixels from the original, the end result is perhaps one of the most frustrating castles out there.
That image better work.
What follows is my method of testing; finding the weakest spot for each of the five weapons and aiming for (no pun intended) a one-hit kill. (I don't bother testing with single loads most of the time; triple the fun, baby!) I of course won't be telling you where to aim; you'll have to figure it out for yourself.
Small: Impossible to collapse. Only able to cause superficial damage.
Medium: Same.
Large: Same.
Small bomb: Able to destroy the top section(s)...and no more.
Large bomb: The only way to destroy in one hit, let alone two or three.
