Just a quick response. I’ve been catching some rather interesting headlines
in .castle lately that I just haven’t had time to read through lately.
A few things I am thinking:
1. Lenny, the website is smooth, easy to read, and really gets the point
across in very little time. Nice job!
2. This is a great idea overall. I really like how with the few pictures on
the site I can already envision what a larger walled town would look like,
with smaller buildings crammed in together. A really ambitious idea would be
to look forward to a town with inner and outer walls, a growing medieval
metropolis that has an old centre surrounded by a bustling merchant
neighborhood, and then maybe even some buildings overflowing to beyond the
walls -unprotected homes that only the rabble can afford.
3. This could sway me to build more in Castle again. I do have a number of
green plates that I don’t need whilst building Moonbases and Spaceships. But
lordy! if you all keep coming up with such good ideas, I’m gonna need to rent
a large Ryder truck for BF ‘05.... :)
|
Hey!!! What about BF ‘04??

4. On the point that the coordinator of a display would have to ensure that
enough wall sections are being brought to surround the town, I disagree.
Instead, why not simply have a a couple of ruin or construction end-caps
handy (serving a similar purpose to endcaps in the Moonbase)? This way, if
the wall doesn’t come around and meet itself, a reasonable explanation would
be apparent in the display.
|
I guess that would be up to the coordinator to come up with. A neat little
addition that we’ll have to discuss. A real nice definition of why would be a
recent attack on the castle itself, and there are not enough resources for the
wall to be fixed at the moment.
| |
5. Can a wall builder incorporate wall junctions? For example, what if I
wanted to build a “T” section of wall that offered three connection points to
other walls? (This would serve my previous idea of inner and outer walls.)
(Anyone ever play the game Rampart?)
|
Again, that is up to the coordinator. If there is to be outer and inner
curtain walls, then I don’t think T’s should be a problem. Another interesting
aspect to ask about!! Good thinking Hendo!!!
