I should know, I've had that message sitting at the top of my .castle
listings for the past four months. . .:-)

I think a walled town would be nice---something along the lines of the
town in MacAulay's _Castle_. The defensive aspects would be less
demanding than a real castle and the stuff inside would provide plenty of
scope for civvies.
I know there's an existing standard for wall segments, although I can't
find it. . .and it might be too substantial.
Something like 6-10 bricks to the wallwalk level, plus 2 more
for the parapet plue 2 for the crenels would work. . .say six studs wide
at the top, including parapet. . .and towers with another level another
6-10 bricks high. Simple, doable.
It could be fun---but someone would need to organize it (make sure there's
enough wall to enclose the town, make sure there's at least one gate but
not too many. . .)
