6081 King's Mountain Fortress is a baseplate castle, but it had attachment

Well, yes and no... It DID have a connection point, BUT it only had ONE
connection point (the left hand side looking at it straight on) so you couldn't
create an enclosed wall... The other thing is that the battlements on that side
are actually LOWER than on previously constructed castles! The top battlements
(the 2x1 grey bricks separated by 1x1 spaces) are on top of 5 bricks stacked in
6081 (so the 2x1's are the 6th bricks from the ground), whereas in the rest of
the castles, they're either 7 bricks or 7 bricks and 1 plate from the ground,
making them either the 8th or 8.3rd bricks from the ground! Also, 6081 is
already completely enclosed in and of itself, so nobody can get in from any
attached castle sections except by leaving the castle, and going in through the
main gate! Hence, I don't really call it modular... although that WAS probably
the point of putting that technic peg there...
