[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 804979, member: 1264"] Regarding the latest sketch of the Citadel: we do need to draw in the trade route connecting both bridges, which should *not* go through the inner set of walls. Then you also need space for entire trade caravans to gather (the toll collectors would presumably want to check the entire caravan before asessing the toll and letting the caravan pass). Add in the fact that you don't need such an immense inner courtyard (600 feet... what, are you planning on playing football there? ;)) and you get something that's probably more like halfway between out two designs. PS: we really need to draw in the actual keep as well, i.e. the solid central building that houses everything that all those walls are protecting. In my sketch I had intended the entire inner circle to be the keep, but now I do think that we need an inner courtyard as well, separate from the outer more "public" area where the caravans gather.
