How do you find castles?
« on: November 14, 2010, 04:53:56 pm »
Really simple question. I can get quests from the many little hovels and hamlets, but I'm interested in finding castles/keeps/temples, and I haven't been able to since 0.31.17.

But some dark night, when everything is silent in the town I'll shoot those tyrants one and all, I'll gun the flogger down. I'll give the land a little shock, remember what I say, and they'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay."

They are 3x3 walled off structures on the adventure map. They have the well symbol on the world map.

Indeed, they're 3x3 most often. Sometimes they get compressed into 1x3 or 2x3 or even 8 tiles with one odd tile out. But the symbol on the map remains the same, only the size-layout changes. The function remains the same as well.
