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.

How to Load a Castle:
Simply click on a shared castle link and you will be directed to the game immediately. The game will then load the castle take you right to the editor. Click Test Castle when it's loaded to try it out. It's just that simple!
How to Save a Castle:
Start up the Build and Share area.
Build your castle and click Share when you area ready.
Nice first try - but two of the guards die during construction. I moved them up while playing it and that seemed to work. Then I blasted them to neverland!
Nice first try but I believe you've fallen pray to the crappy file sharing engine on this game. In both your link and the one that CourtJester fixed the two guards die more times then not on my computer. When it does work it is neat.
@cmptrgeek01 - actually, I didn't change it as it wasn't mine to change. Albeit, I was surprised later when it actually worked!!! Like you said...
I've looking at the rev number on the shares and surprisingly it has changed from V1.6.14 to now, V1.5.12!!! Are they going backwards?
I tried a map on the other CtC game and the King was launched, landed in front of the trebuchet, fell forward and went to sleep (alive). I tested it on CtCPP and he lands at the trebuchet, falls forward the same way and now dies every time! I also made a castle on the CtC game which worked, and here, it totally fails!
I think that the shares are messing up the game here and is running (in the background) all those "usually" crappy unstable castles that are submitted.
@subodh - I killed it with a pebble! After it was finished destroying itself. However, it was a nice creation!
Keep up the good work!!
A word of advice: stacked floors tend to wander and will destroy your castle. I am not sure what the limit is for floor stacks but check out your creation by hitting the > arrow and watch it slowly destroy itself.
Change your middle elements to a mixture of vertical and horizontal and it will be more stable and harder to destroy and, tell us the minimum weaponry we can use for a one shot kill!
Nice to have you aboard! I can see you work hard at creating interesting structures!
The Large floor starts to move at 17 but really only up to 20 would I start to worry for Medium it is 24 but you can get away with 25 and last the Small is 30 if you do exceed this then you will have a structure that fall apart quickly.
@CourtJester once again the shares thing is screwing up everyones creations. The princess is usually dying on the flip before I can even get a shot off. Hopefully they will get the shares working properly at some point.
Find the right spot and blow this away with a single SB
@cmptrgeek01 - yes, I see that! Most irritating! If she dies try edit/test a few times. If she still dies, blast everyone away and reset. Or, practice sending her to neverland - the one where she lives will be a high arc if you nail the turret on the nose.
This shares problem is driving people away from the game! I too hope they get it fixed!
@cmptrgeek01 - I shifted the princess back 0.12 of a pixel! She seems to be a bit more stable!
I also added the Queen just for fun!
I have tested it on the shares and she has never died on my computer. She did look a bit rocky on the original version. This time tho, I blasted the king right out of the picture and he lived! Then I smacked the wall to kill the other occupants, then, I had to use triple large boulders, bounce them off the platform to kill the king and then the princess!
