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?)

I’ve got no problem with this, except that it makes the resulting castle that
much more complicated. I used up almost all my wall pieces making the three
parts featured in the write-up. Furthermore, I’d suspect any inner walls
would be larger than the outer walls.
But it would be cool to connect them and then build wall pieces that rise up
to the larger wall. I’ve got no problem with doing this - to me, the point
of the standard is merely a starting point. Where people take this is up to
them - and what I *love* about CCC is that it can go anywhere!

The inner walls can be made just the same as the outer walls, using the same
format. Just raise the height 4 to 6 bricks. I prefer not to use the castle
wall sections on the outer walls anyway. But on the raised inner walls, would
make sense. As long as the wall height is standard, the actual ‘look’ of the
defensive towers would reflect different times and Kings who hired different
builders. I sugest for the higher inner walls the same connections used on the
bottom be used at the top for stability. Some standard may be needed here.
At the grand display, the coordinator who oversees the display can mix and match
the different sections and reflect the time and Monarch changes.
My 2 cents.
