How to make a CASTLE TOWER
Today I'll show you how to make a stone castle tower for archers.
The archer tower will actually be useful as it provides great cover at multiple heights.
It's a big build, but I'll try to work as quickly as I can.
Ehh, my first mistake..
Let's get down the cool way!
I'll be making small arrowslits to make it a defensive structure!
Later, I'll be changing parts of the walls to decorate the tower.
I'm mainly using one type of stone to make building the basic structure a lot easier.
The tower will of course have the classic merlons at the very top!
You can use banners for flags here at the top or make one out of wool like me.
In an attempt to give it a bit more of a wavy look, I'll be adding some carpet
Now it's time to create the floors to make the arrowslits useful!
You can level the floors differently than I do if you want different shooting angels.
Adding some torches will make it look really good at night!
The basic structure is done and now it's decorating-time!
These small additions will make your tower special!
Now it has just the right shape!
The next thing we want to do, is to make it a little less plain.
To do this, we'll need to create some block veriety in the walls.
I'm carefully choosing blocks that suit eachother very well.
I'll be using mossy stones towards the bottom.
I'll also be adding polished andesite to break up the brick-pattern a bit..
Make it look random..
Add some cracked stone bricks if you want it to look old and battle scarred.
I'll have to be creative when building at these heights.. :I
Hopefully, it'll be worth all this work..
It's done, let's get some cool shots of it!
-->
It has the iconic castle tower shape!
Let's test it out!
From up here, you'll have a huge advantage over distant enemies!
You can also shoot nearby enemies.
This floor is for distant enemies only, but will grant you the perfect cover!
*shoots*
This floor is for more medium range, but again with near perfect cover..
you'll have to be close if you want to shoot through the arrowslits!
From longer ranges, these kinds of shots are nearly impossible..
