I don't love or hate castle walls -- but I'd probably use the faceted bricks
instead of the corner wall piece if I had ready access to them. [note: The
Castle Expander pack has 4 of these in grey -- I'd like to see them sold in
more colors and by themselves in larger quantities.]

The castle wall types like those found in Guarded Inn are cool inasmuch as
they are printed in a unique manner -- with the tudor/timbered wall pattern
-- and you wouldn't be able to do that easily across multiple bricks with a
sticker and have the whole remain very modular. My problem with the Guarded
Inn walls is that they are red -- and that is a fairly strange color for a
timbered wall.  Normally, one sees white -- even the yellow tudor walls are
better than the red ones in terms of color choice.
