Help me with my homework! (due in tomoz!)
Ok, so I have castles homework, and the subject is how to choose a good site for your castle... So far I have:
A good castle must be on a high hill, so you can see for miles around. It also should be near a river: 1.Because you will need a water supply, and 2. because it would fill up a moat. You need to transport your resources easily and have some resources nearby eg. Stone, wood.
But I need more! Much more! Help! Help!

don't you think it would be nice to also have a forest around it because it'll keep it hidden and protected?

Well, the only downside of having a forest is that in the case of a siege, the attackers would have plenty of material to make siege weapons from.
You also need good transport links- increases revenues if you're in charge of a trade centre.

Here's some tips on castle defences. (I know it's kinda a week late, but I feel like posting)
1) You'll need some sort of defence up in towers. Archers, boiling oil, and so on.
2) Mountains are better protection than forests (less resources for attackers, plus hills might disorientate people)
3) Food and water are good, so a mountain near a river + forest is a nice spot for a castle.
4) DO NOT make it out of wood. That's flammable.
5) High walls prevents people from lobbing diseased cows over to kill you from the inside. Don't laugh, it was common practice.
6) Make sure to have good trade networks. A castle is only a fort if it's only defensive, no living conditions.

Dark Maxim, the homework was about the location of the castle, nothing to do with how to actually go around building one.

Well, I think what you put down is pretty much all you need- there is a limit as to how much you can say of a location.
