Brad's Work Dilemma (Second Update)

Liszt planned to build a modern castle.

With rubber and ironwood, many designs could be realized—though he had no money to build a castle right now, so he would have to live in poverty for a few days.

That did not stop him from planning the castle's location, footprint, floor height, and other requirements.

The satellite castle would probably be the tallest structure in a city. The nameless little castle in Flower Town was only two stories tall; nameless castles generally stood two or three stories high.

Most named castles had four stories. Many viscounts and counts built four-story castles. Beyond the four-story main structure, there might be even taller spires for sentry duty and defense. Tulip Castle was a four-story castle, but built along the mountain's contours, making it appear especially majestic.

Great nobles generally chose steep, treacherous terrain for their castles, places easy to defend and hard to attack.

The grandest castle Liszt had ever seen was Long-Yam Castle. Though only five stories high, it looked as if it had fused with the mountain range itself—a miraculous structure of piled stone.

"In the future, this stretch of rocky beach will be the site of the castle. To the east and north, the castle's auxiliary buildings will gradually be constructed. To the south, we'll build a stone-paved road leading to the port city. As for the port city's plan, I hope its scale can fall somewhere between that of a large city and a small city."

While he was at it, Liszt also sketched out his ideas for the new city.

Most lords' cities developed spontaneously, slowly accumulating population and gradually expanding in scale. As a result, cities became a chaotic mess, with no attention paid to sanitation; sewage and filth flowed everywhere. Liszt did not want his city
