[QUOTE="PepeLePew, post: 563944, member: 4895"] I love Japanese Castles. Their design pisses on most European castles in terms of defence. Take Himeji castle (1611) where there is only one existing access point, which is takes you on a vertical spiral maze like journey through many gates and ginnels. All the while the attack can be monitored from the castle top, deploying troops to masses of open fighting yards and easily defendable walls. Though given the history of the Chinese manufacturing gunpowder; it seems bonkers that most castles were made out of wood. But artilery didn't play a major role in warfare till ~1600 about a 100 years after the Europeans had discovered how much simpler it was to blow chunks out of walls Bonkers fact. Some castle owner made his tatami mats out of dried vegetable stalks; should the castle be seiged, the garrison could always eat the floor :crazy: [/QUOTE]
