Kewl,

But it's not like it wasn't a defacto standard anyway, for quite some time.

Let's see what mACROsFOT tries to embrace and extend on this one eh?

News Flash!!!!

Stop manufacturing castles that expose right angles and sharp corners to would be army's bringing siege engines with them!

Solution #1: Just open the freakin' gates and let down the ramp over the moat (solution provided by this article

Solution #2: Build your castles with all exposed surfaces along your walls and towers with curves and rounded facings - it's harder for the rocks to chunk away at you, and you're not bringing the battle to the inside of the castle like you are with Solution #1.

wtf is this article supposed to suggest?

What-Ev!
