The final build. There will be some additional interior details but I call it finished.

This truly is a magnificent build! The way you have handled the floors is really inspired (as mentioned before), and the whole tower just looks great.

One possible niggle; wouldn't the ground floor outside door not be a security risk? I thought the whole door up high thing was introduced to reduce the risk of baddies breaking it down. Originally, the access would even have been by ladder or (collapsible) wooden stairs.

Or was this a deliberate choice to increase playability?

At any rate: something to aspire to!

Actually I based it on historical builds. The ground floor door was usually the stable entrance where cattle was housed during the night.

The real security risk is the stairwell that runs into the ground level. But this too was observed by me in historical builds. Perhaps the stable door was deemed defensible enough placed in a corner between to walls where defenders could pelt anyone attempting to breach the door with arrows, bullets and boiling stuff.

And of course a stairwell is also easly defensible, although this one admittedly runs the wrong way around for that. This one turns left while it should turn right, preventing climbers from using their shields efficiently.

Very nice job and well done with hiding the seams in between the levels.  Can't wait to see what you do for the interior.

Damn that is some great work.

Fantastic work! I've got plans for something similar.

Beautiful! Pele would have been proud.

If I recall, your stairs are correct as it allows the defenders to wield their swords down upon the attackers while the attackers could not because of the wall. At least that is what I gave read. Regardless, what a magnificent piece of terrain.
