    I don’t really get how it’s going to be a kit, nor do I care about having a medieval themed pack.

    Okay... back to scavenging from Get Together for the interior furniture... Sigh. Though I'm not actually surprised.

    Is it possible to be impressed and unimpressed simultaneously?

    mediocerlypressed? :joy:

    part of me is very excited but other part of me is already frustrated by my own nonexistent castle building skillz and upcoming trillion years of castle building

    I don't know if this kit will be enough help with that

    The issue is that I want all worlds to feel unique / have their own theme

    so I don't want to be building Vlad mansions outside Forgotten Hollow even if I love them :sweat_smile:

    = avoid using vampires pack

    I think this kit will only be used in Windenburg island as well as I have dedicated that as spot for everything medieval

    It looks lovely, love especially the dark version. It looks so fitting for the Goths too. :)

    I have to say I really like the look of this kit! That large view of the castle reminds me of Windsor Castle (with added moat).

    My building skills are non-existent so I’d be totally reliant on others to build fantastic castles and put them on the gallery for me to use :)

    By the looks of it I'm rebuilding Windenburg Cathedral again :D I think this will be my third or fourth version...

    Now make me an "Off the grid" kit with practical things to use with it, lights, lights, some more lights, a more medieval looking stove, things like sinks and tubs that are filled with a pitcher, medieval toilet, functional broom...
    Moreover, I advise that the cart button must be destroyed!

    Yes,this would be perfect for an old school church.

    Dumb question from someone who is emphatically NOT a good builder - are those extremely pointy conical roofs already possible or is that something new?

    I'm not really excited about a castles kit but I will download it anyway.

    I was hoping there’d at least be some furniture, but it sounds like it’s heavily build focused.

    I’m a medieval castle enthusiast - this is 100% my kinda content. While I would have been quite pleased with some additional interior deco and furniture, I never expected that to come with this particular kit. It’s just not how they “advertised” it.

    Of course I want more specific interior BB, but I’ll be able to use whatever there’s available at the moment, I can’t complain in all fairness, I do however believe that the exteriors of my 43 WIP castles are in need of some serious medieval love, and this kit might just do the trick. The portcullis, the battlements and the freezes look fantastic in my opinion, I would have liked items to build a non- functional OR functional draw bridge with, like a windlass and chains and ropes - although I can’t see any of that in the so-called leak. I’m sure I’ll live.

    As for medieval style gameplay…well, being the optimistic kind of guy I am, I haven’t lost hope yet for that “renaissance fair” pack. Like others mentioned, certain themes have been spread out across kits and EPs before, it’s nothing new. In whichever shape or form such a pack decides to arrive - if it ever does - I do want it to be exceptional, sans foolish rabbit holes / keep yer phones at home or I’ll feed it AND you to the pit beast sorta thing. I haven’t been too impressed with some of the more recent EPs and this time around they will have to offer a lot more interesting gameplay in order to draw me in.
    A medieval estate kit is unfortunately not something I can easily ignore. 🏰

    These screenshots look great. I can't wait to get to build with the castle kit. :) 🏰
    I hope these builds will be shared on the gallery.

    Looks like we will be only getting build stuff but that was to be expected. The Moroccan build kit also was mainly focused on build mode. Furniture from get together, cottage living and even some worn pieces from horse ranch will make for fitting interiors. And let's not forget the large cauldron from realm to magic. Perfect for a medieval kitchen. ;)

    I really dig the look of this kit. It's pretty much exactly what I expected and wanted out of the kit, and I think it has a lot of potential for me. Some of the windows and build elements will work for an old gothic school I'm building in San Myshuno, if I can get it finished lol.
