Motte

Just as it is sometimes wise to ring a castle with ditches to defend it, it is always better to build on high ground. In cases where a natural earthen mound or motte is not available, manmade ones can be created. As a rule, one motte module represents a 10’ by 10’ square area raised 5’. Thus, if an area 400’ by 400’ (160,000 square feet) were to be raised, 1,600 moat units would be required for each 5’ rise in ground level.
