Here's the current version.

Im not sure the stones became any more randomized... a little perhaps? :/
Added more walls, more details to tower and fog to cover up flaws...

Think Im gonna add a few trees and a well perhaps.. :)
Grass would be cool too, to mark out the "walkingpaths"
(if u know what i mean :/)

Suggestions or how-to on the grass as well as other comments are
as always very welcome! =)

Cheers!

Would probably be easier if you were presented the actual image though... ;)

It's already better than in the previous version, IMHO. The killer
approach would be randomly *sized* stones, too, although that makes
things a lot harder, as you can't just arrange them in a grid anymore. A
recursive approach could help here.

The gate is a bit small, too - it looks like the catapult wouldn't even
fit through :)

Keep up the good work, it looks promising!


Regards,
Florian

Gates are supposed to be small. Castles are designed to keep people out, 
remember? :-)

That it does!

I'm not sure about the metal on the roofs, mind. That's usually wood or 
thatch or something, I think.

This is becoming impressive indeed. Good work.
I don't like the metal roofs. That should be wood, thatch, or slates, I 
think.
The vertically oriented stones in the wall inside the gate look a bit 
strange to me. Why not use the same construction as for the walls 
themselves?

The gate is suposed to be a bit small, it's a deffencive measure, and it's 
perfectly normal that a catapult can't fit trough. The catapult is built in 
place, and if they need one outside, they'll just build another.
