Newer castles were made with stone and rounded corners. the reason was that it was an advance round corners were good because they had fewer space to hide and also the shape deflected any catapults or missiles.
Castles usually have a mote, towers, and long halls. They also have special defenses inside and outside of the structure.
William the Conqueror built two stone castles; Chepstow and the Tower of London. These were the first buildings in England that were not churches to be made from stone, and they were designed to impress and intimidate. Castles made from stone was an idea that did not catch on until the 12th Century.
King William the I (William the conqueror) didn't build all his castles out of stone. In fact, most of the castles he built were made out of wood. These wooden castles were called Motte and Bailey castles. The castles that hedid build out of stone were called Stone Keep Castles (Stone Castles). King William built the Stone Keep Castles out of stone because stone is stronger than wood, doesn't rot within a few years and doesn't burn easily.
No, concentric castles were built after stone keep castles.
Motte and Bailey castles were first built of wood but, as they evolved they changed into being made of stone. This was because the wooden version burnt down easily and was easily destroyed as wood rotted quickly. The stone castles were then called square keep castles.There was also castles called stone keeps
THEY STARTED TO MAKE TE CASTLES ROUND SO IT WAS HARDER TO KNOCK DOWN BECAUST THEY WOULD START BY KNOCKING DOWN THE CORNERS TO MAKE IT EASIER SO THEY MADE THE CASTLES ROUND
On SQUARE KEEP Castles, they have corners, therefore attackers can dig underneath them, whereas CONCENTRIC CASTLES have one round wall, so this cannot happen.
I think there are castles in MySims Kingdom, but I don't think that there are castles in MySims, normal. You could probably build a castle-type house though, by using a few round blocks on the corners for towers, and painting it in stone.
a round keep castle has round corners so it is harder for it to be undermined A concentric castle is basically square

A Round Keep was one of the strongest castle designs. A round tower would not have any sharp corners that prevented the view of the archers. It would provide a broad view for the soldiers. There would also not be any weak corners that the enemy could tunnel under and collapse a wall. Also, a Round Tower would allow enemy missiles to bounce and slide off the smooth walls.

Shell keep castles are medieval fortresses that are usually built upon a motte. They are made from stone. Some examples of stone keep castles include the Round Tower on Windsor Castle and the Clifford's Tower on York Castle.
The problems with stone keep castles were the corners. The enemy could dig under them and the castle would collapse. this wasn't good
