being Royal Knights, and I'm about to go to work building a giant castle like

the best advice for building a castle is to have tons of the basic block
buckets. Is this true?

| (...) Yup. But with 5000 mostly castle pieces, you should still be able to do a decent-sized castle - maybe about half the size of Strombrachter? (Pawel - how many pieces are in there, anyway?) As a reference: This was done with only a few castle (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
