What games let me build castles with autistic levels of detail and repel disgusting invaders from my walls? So far I've been able to find some but none that can totally scratch the itch I have.

>Stronghold/Stronghold Crusader

An RTS, and you can't do any real stonework.

>Medieval Engineers

It'd be better if it wasn't half abandoned

>Conan: Exiles

I've not actually tried Conan, does anybody know if there's a legitimate quality crack and a server to play on? Having thralls to actually defend your castle seems nice, until someone farms a giant squid and poops on it.

>Life is Feudal

Lags toasters and towers alike and should probably be called Grind is Feudal.

>KING ARTHUR'S GOLD

Pretty good, but nothing remains standing due to the nature of the game.

You're not going to get more detailed than dwarf fortress or minecraft.

Terraria. You can do something like drawbridges but with lava underneath. Also it's fun fighting on top of it on a special arena against bosses, and defending yourself during blood moon and goblin raids becomes a different experience.

Yeah I've played all three but forgot to list them. The thing about minecraft is that you either have ground protection mods that eliminate any chance of invaders being remotely able to do anything (thus there's never any interaction) or no protection, at which point they just diamond pick through it unless you made it out of obsidian.

Dwarf fortress is probably right up there but I haven't gotten terribly far into a world yet. As for terraria- yeah, I guess. What I'm really wanting is something like medieval engineers (with even machicolation blocks) but that allows me to do detail stonework so I can add things like garderobes and also that doesn't have shit AI. Like I said, Conan might be the thing but I'm not paying 40$ for what's reputed to be a dead game.

What Terraria really needs is more sophisticated traps and some form of generic NPC militia you can form to man the battlements. And then balance it out with more dangerous attacks.

Idk Dwarf Fortress sounds pretty close to that.

Machicolations for example can be done with glass pipes and lava. Although, things like garderobes are less viable. I tried making a watch tower with archers with a pit around them but it wasn't really effective. Really this is what the game was built for, experimenting. Trying to strategies around things that are unintuitive at first like catapults and ballistas. Thats what I did when I first started playing and it was some of the most fun I've had… It sounds like you're getting hung up over the fact it's not literally going to be x defense just an emulation of it, which is kinda nit picky and not really realistic since most games are made for consoles now.

The problem with DF is when you figure the game out and start seeking invasions and the game never delivers. I modded it so I had 4 necromancer towers around me, and while I did get invaded frequently at first eventually they stopped coming. It's also way too easy to just seal yourself in your base, because you can grow food underground and the enemies cannot break down certain defenses.

Also, OP, I suggest you to dick around in Garry's Mod to try and emulate castle defense.

stronghold? i hate to say it but are there not a few "survival games" that are basically just fort building and grinding games? Conan exiles seems to have added some content seance the pirate server shenanigans new /v/ server when? and then there is spa- medieval engineers but i'm not sure how in depth that one is. but if it is anything like space engineers its probably shit.

Medieval's better than space but the AI is still more braindead than a log and the singleplayer grind is huge so it's really only worth building in creative. Here's my favorite one I made (Night and day). It's small enough I'd classify it as a Baron's castle, along with the accompanying houses inside the cliff bailey. I might build a whole village/town on the plateau below, and another castle guarding the only real pass into the area.

Dorf Fort is your only hope.

It's a nice castle, but it doesn't seem to protect anything. Why is it there?

Sometimes the castles protect themselves first and then expand to protect other shit.

There's this plateau here, with only one entrance. I'm thinking a decently sized village and farm area could be placed with another castle guarding the pass. The existing castle could at that point be used as a place of refuge, but is primarily the center of government for the Baron as well as his house (primary two purposes for a castle, the third being defense of an area.).

Yeh.
