I thought the whole point of having castle walls was that they are impenetrable and the only access to the castle is through the draw bridge. Especially the towers, they have an elevated position with armed guards manning them.
Towers have doors. All players can enter into the castle through these doors.
It's completely illogical for there to be exterior doors on castle towers. Again this defeats the purpose of a castle. A Castle is specifically designed to be protected from the outside in.
I'm not saying it's logical.But in the same time i'm not saying that this one is a real place. I'm saying that we've already explained (in this thread) how and why they link in this way. Having only a single door/or two will cause a type of gameplay that we (pikkio and me) don't like and that is objectively unbalanced. The map was developed to have a equally distribution of possibility to take the castle from all the 4 quadrants/bridges.
We spent more than a month discussing about towers and access to the castle and community agreed about our work.
If we change the doors we have to change all the gameplay, with the same process occurred with Das Schloss. I'm sorry but i don't see a valid reason to change the whole gameplay for an aesthetics reason, without considering that now there are about 100 active games on this map.

Wow! a million of castle? What do you do in your life? Are you an explorer?...sorry, just kiddin
Anyway, you have to consider that with mapmaking, sometimes the reality has to be changed a bit to have a better map.
To have doors on towers is a so big problem for you?
They make this map unplayable?
