i was wondering what materials people use for building their castles. mainly the walls.
i thought normal bricks would be the most cost efficient method but didnt think it really tied in with the whole medieval feel...

The thing I thought was a good idea were those split-face concrete building blocks. They are large, 8 by 8 by 16 as a default, but can be found larger, color customizable (as is the mortar) and look like rough-hewn stone from a distance.
