The trick

Leave a whole tile of empty floor between the two turrets, then a single flat tile laid across their tops bridges them into one gatehouse and turns the gap into an archway you can drive under.

What you will need

  • 21 square tiles
  • 3 triangle tiles

Step by step

  1. 1. Stand the two turrets

    Build two open boxes one tile apart, so there is a gap between them for the gate.

  2. 2. Raise and cap them

    Add a second ring of walls to each turret and lay a square flat on top of both.

  3. 3. Bridge the gate

    Lay one square flat across the gap to join the turret tops into a wall-walk.

  4. 4. Add the peaks

    Stand a triangle on the front edge of each turret and one over the gate.
