Most importantly, the battlements are designed in a good proportional hight as opposed to a klicky!!!
Could you show us a picture of a klicky standing behind the curtain wall battlements for height comparison?
First off, thanks for the wonderful detailed review Wolfie, it has really helped to see all the details.
I'm amazed that they've created a
Frankencastle, which is not compatible with previous System X nor Steck castle parts, yet uses both system X connectors and steck-
like connectors. That seems like a miracle of muddled thinking.
As Gordon says, as it's modular it will certainly be customisable to some extent, but limited to pieces from this system. The switch between connection types further limits expansion possibilities. The holes in the angled sections beside the gate beguiled me into thinking this was a clip system castle, and I think there are clips in there holding pieces together. The resultant holes are ugly.
I'd like to see a round tower in this system, and maybe they have plans to produce one to replace a wall section or extend the existing curtain walls.
The new gate design is nice, and the inclusion of ladders answers a few questiosn that the system X gate posed.
Looking forward to more details and your experiments on developing the castle further.
