Q: I also suggest we could build the walls, gates , towers where ever we want.
A: We do not want the player to micromanage castles. The game is about conquest. We have more than 150 realms in the game...imagine you building for each tower by tower etc.

If you dont add this to game , KoH will by boring and player dont come back to KoH.

Stronghold RULEZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stronghold RULEZ !!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that everybody will like to build his first castle in Europe by his own. Not everybody, but sure that most of us will like to build up our second and third, maybe also fourth main castle after conquest. But when your empire will have 5 and more castles and you will need to manage:
1)building every castle
2)leading army or diplomacy or espoinage
3)supporting your economy by sending traders, building up harbours etc.
4)arrange some heirs and good diplomatical and family situation for them
5) I surely forgot something

this all in real realtime (you cannot "pause/stop" the game for a while when managing your castle or harbour or army) when everything takes some time you became really bored before you conquere 10 realms out of 150.
Goal of KoH is to play as king/dynasty and rule whole Europe. Do you think that Roman emperors (who ruled area of about 1/2 of KoH map) took care ofwhere a tower in all of Roma, Ravenna, Messina, Ephesus, Athens, Palmyra, Antiochia, Caesarea, Aelia Capitolina(Jerusalem), Alexandria, Augusta Treverorum(Trier), Vindobonna(Vienna), Sirmia(Mirtovica), Constantinopolis(Istambul), Carthage(near Tunis), Tolosa(Tolouse), Tarragona(near Barcelona), Toletum(Toledo), Lutetia(Paris), Londinium(London), Lugundum(Lyon), and Eboracum(York) has to be built?
Many of them was crazy, but not enough to do this +deal with army, relations with Sasanid Persia, Germanic tribes, arange enough food for Rome or Constantinople, destroy all inner oposition...

In KoH you're a king, not a serf.

It requires another type of game. Start with ine village, build up another 10, became a noble, then a knight-vassal of some king, build a castle and manage your villages little diferently, then become one of main vassals of that king, your play must include still more and more diplomacy and less micromanagement, you can build towns and cities or transform some your villages to towns. Then you become king, send a governor to your original estates and deal with international diplomacy and warfare... deal with other civilisations or cultures, but no more micromanagement, because emperor of Europe has no time to care about a village he came from, however the people there would deserve it.
