Cool! I'll have to borrow some designs, I definitely will need some red

You will NEED some red creations?

Well.. not exactly need, but, y'know, um... er, any better word to describe it
is eluding me. I'll "need" it with regard to my storyline, it's not exactly a
neccessity but a it's more than just a serious want.

The second point are the castle walls.  I think that when used spaced out
they can be pretty effective to conserve bricks.

Definitely! They look excellent, so long as they're not used on ground level,
AND sparingly on others.

What's wrong with ground level?  ;)

Nay, that's not what I meant; I was referring to the feeling that castle-walls
at ground level are silly, because the windows are ubiquitous and
inappropriate... you don't want invaders to sneak through the ground windows,
now, do you?

I am not sure how well gray
with gray looks,

You mean grey with red, right?

No no ... Grey with grey - to try to make them invisible.
Personally, I was thinking along the lines of the good referee philosophy.
It's only a good referee when you really don't notice him or her.  The walls
can be really good
if you don't notice them.  Hence the grey with grey.  Again - they can  be
used to save on bricks (which tend to be expensive in grey, no?)

Ah! I get it. (sort of like what they say 'bout makeup, huh? ;-)

Let me know what you think ... Gray will always rule castles in European
style building (I think), but red (clay, vulcano, blue (water), white
(marble, ivory), yellow (sand ... ?) can still make some pretty nice
castles.

Hmm... I'm not sure grey will always rule. There seems to be a (still small)
trend of moving a bit away from grey - just a little, but it's growing... I
think combos of grey/black with colors is a great way to go to give a
building
some personality!

For sure.  Those little red and blue lines that Dave n' Eric used really add
an artistic touch to
their creations.

Yeah, I know. You guys ain't seen it yet, (1) but my inn already "rightfully
stole" their excellent ideas about the blood lines... :-)

(Lugnet Sitcom
idea ... ?  Dave n' Eric's World.  j/k)

LOL!

(1) My grammar's on vacation, capish? ;-)

(...) Heh. Any invader that can squeeze through those windows is likely to find a way to get to the second story to squeeze through them. :D eric (24 years ago, 26-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
