Studying flow charts from information gathered on the forums, I have determined that this is an optimum castle. For its population, it will sustain its self and grow. If you choose to add more Inns, churches or other non-food producing buildings, you will need to add 1 farm for ever hovel built *or so*

This, as it is advertised, the most efficient castle I have ever commanded. New resources, food, and weapons were always coming in, and I could charge high taxes with an evil fear factor grip without losing popularity. However, I found my food production to be a bit inadequate.
Playability: 5
A very efficient castle. I don't really know what to say to justify the 5, but it was a perfect caslte.
Balance: 3
I don't know how to rank a Free Build for balance, so I'll give it an average mark. Perhaps Gill could correct me?
Creativity: 5
The 5 is deserved because of the way he converted data into a map to demonstrate how to build the perfect castle.
Map Design: 4
The castle functioned perfectly, but it was not very good looking, with square walls and flat terrain, etc.
Story/Instructions: 3
Didn't really have either of these, but the purpose of the castle gives it an average mark.

A Free Build map with an enormous castle is given here. It is important and shows where certain buildings should be placed if one wants to set up a most productive city.
- Apple orchards around the granary.
- Bakeries aside.
- Weapons workshops and armoury next to the stockpile.
