No thanks. Too drafty and cold. I like small spaces. A tree fort or tiny cottage would be better.

I cant name specific castles but I like the medieval look. I have a bit of medieval looking knives/blades & other weapons that would look really kewl displayed on a castle wall. I have a lot of non medieval 1s as well but they'll probably still look just as kewl on a castle wall as being displayed in our apartment. Having space from people would be very nice, especially for my girlfriend who has social phobia. Having a moat with some sharks & crocodiles would help deter people & be kewl pets to have :twisted: Plus if we were living in a castle we would probably have a bit of money which would probably be better than dealing with government benefits & paperwork.

Wouldn’t be a goal. Too big to wanna clean etc.

But if it were in the right location and the price was right, I wouldn’t turn it down. Rather sleep in a free castle than an expensive cozy home next door.

I would much rather like to live in a high tech fortress with automated chaingun turrets against intruders and the interior is filled with trap-filled corridors should they survive while I get to use comfy shortcuts and secret entrances.

It really depends on the castle, what state it's in, and weither I would be the one maintaining it. There are so many interesting types of castle around the world.

Nope, too big to be maintained. XD
A normal modern room is enough for me. :P

Alligators or crocodiles would be a must have for a moat.
Dragons are too expensive to keep up.
If you don’t feed them enough they start feeding off the villagers and that causes a big fuss.

Scottish castle moats do not need crocogators. They have midges and horseflies instead. If anyone has gried camping in Scotland, there is no way one wants to be near water!

We have those here also.Always wondered how a horsefly can find the exact center of your back where you can’t slap it.
