Thats a real nice image - I can see it being real nice when finished. I'm
not exactly sure what the grass is - heightfield, I see the concept of the
green texturing but it doesn't work. For that gorgous image you could apply
a grass macro to the top and have a bit of a cliff stlye edge on the side.
Also on the left you can see some sorta banding with the bricks - though
there are problems with the bricks throughout unfortunately. I'd stick a
bit of a bump map on there too if I were you.

Waah, I can never get plane-texture clouds to look this good.

Now that's NICE!! Wouldn't like to be on the attacking force.
What's behind the castle? looks like water.

looks good, but the heightfield texture looks somehow strange. Probably the
finish differs too much from the walls.

It's come on quite a lot. The HF looks a vit irratic, and I'd imagine
it'd be difficult to build on such terrain, but apart from that it
looks great.
Some guards parading round the top might be good.

Perhaps the strangeness of the texture is partly due to the fact that
the only light source is almost directly behind the camera.

Only partly IMO, maybe try giving walls and heightfield the same finish and
check out the result.
