Not sure why everyone so mad they are adding these blocks, as if you don't want them, don't allow them. You can easily come out with a mod that restricts these blocks from being build-able in your "ultra realistic" hard mode dedicated server. Its a lot easier to remove then it is to add. As for very large maps that have TONS of drawbridges and portcullis all over the place, the block count they save on is massive overall (think about when they release planets for ME). The block is also more new player friendly so they can get more people interested in the game of varying skill levels. Also this block is very useful for castle siege maps where you want to spent more of the time on detail and balance, rather then spending half the night building 1 entrance to 1 castle, only to find out later you might need to change it. This block also gives new complex block types with modder's to work with, its basically a new template for people to get creative with. Traps, small doors, contraptions are all possible for modder's to create with blocks like these getting added to the game.



I feel people getting a little too elitist with the release of these blocks. They'res plenty of ways they can improve them, make them harder to build, or have more realistic requirements.. people acting like this is the worst thing that's happened to medieval engineers.
