The Voidgate architects have been working day and night for many a month to bring the Citadel to it's current state and we expect many more months in order for it to stand complete.

Most of it is very nice, but the swords are a little gaudy, they look like they'd be more at home on a casino than a formidable looking castle.
I like the stone sticking out of the mountain side though.
 
Make a couple of Turrets. (The building type not the weapon type)
 
The swords will make more sense once the centerpiece is done.
As for the depth look to the walls, bring some ideas to the table please.Examples perhaps?
 
I'm on my tablet so I'm unable to make diagrams or screenshots. However, there's a bloke named HiddenWorm on Reddit that has a great tutorial on building fortifications that you may find useful.

Personally, I think your walls can do well with arches and more jutting. I wish I could give more advice but I'm limited to text and resources.
 
That tutorial depicts more...umm..."walls of the light side"...which is what makes this build a bit harder since there aren't really that many good blocks with differant features likes stairs that would look good. But I'm experimenting with some spruce atm and possibly some netherbrick.
 
Looks sinister, and it shall make the citizens of the Rhost lock there doors at night.

I'll make some darker walls when I get back. How tall should they be?

Is this going to be one of the instances like Regalia and Gana-Isha, or is this like a base for a faction that I never even knew existed?
 
Looks like the Citadel in DeathFist. Hopefully the blood of your enemies will splash on your walls as often as it does on ours. ;)
 
It's so square.... :o Are you guys planning on adding some vibrancy to it later? It's pretty cool looking now.
 
We need the foundation in order to put in more detail. So this is only foundation work for the citadel itself.

@Chronicler - This is a citadel for my faction :-)
 
Very nice BBB i will make sure to come visit this dark evil place when its done.
