Mrstrategy #1 Posted January 25 How much gold and how long would it take for a middle to large size stone castle to be built in westeros and How much would it cost since it has to be strong enough to hold out in a siege lets say in the riverlands where it's known to be a lot of fighting Examples https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQtji_wC31DTeNf3NzzLhqct0YMqjksTZ6C9g&usqp=CAU https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRqOWFMWoZbi9zp5zOIi9KmXzYfoOlACo5DWw&usqp=CAU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aebram #2 Posted January 26 Hi Mr. S., just wondering: are you working on a game design? I noticed that you've posted several questions recently with similar topics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Castles usually do not get built from 0 to 10 directly. They always andvance, as time passes, in the case of most castles. But let's see: Having no problems with the financial part, in a normal tempo, I doubt it would take more than 3 years of summer. That would be the case if there were no financial problems. But again, this is not how castles are built, usually. For example: House Ashford is a major vassal of the Tyrells. It would make no problem for them to build such a castle in 3-5 years. Considering that they might rely on their own resources too, nor would the financials be a too big of a problem. This would go for houses Blackwood, Vance, Crakehall, etc... Then again, castles usually are not built the way the Red Keep was (Building up everything straight from 0 to 100), because that was an exceptional case.
