Castle – Gatehouses

This section contains those buildings that can be found on the gatehouse tab. This includes gatehouses, but also moats and various extra buildings such as dog kennels.

Gatehouses

Every castle needs at least one gatehouse, so people can get in and out of the place. As with walls they can be made from either wood or stone. The gates will be set automatically, but can be opened/closed manually as well. Stone gates come in two sizes, the larger being both stronger and allows for more troops to be placed on top of them.

Drawbridge

A drawbridge can only be built over a moat and it needs to be in front of a gatehouse. Note that the moat can only be five tiles wide or else the drawbridge won’t be able to cross it.

Cost
Wood: 10

Moat

A moat is not really something you can just create, what you do is you use the spade icon to lay out the plan of your moat. Then you select your soldiers or engineers and tell them to dig. Be careful though, not all soldiers enjoy digging moats.
