Thanks for taking this task upon yourself, Troy. :) As for suggestions, I'm
partial to flat front surfaces on town walls, like those found at Conwy Castle.
If you want to get very detailed, you could put 1x2 technic bricks at even
intervals for hourding post-holes. I like the three brick tall crenelations as
well, but if possible, though, you might try stacked pairs of 1x3s (spaced two
apart, perhaps?) to get a more realistic look, or you could put some arrow
loops in them. But even you might not have enough 1x3s for that. :( Also,
I'm kind of partial to 7 or 8 brick tall walls, so the tower rooms don't have
soaring ceilings. ;) Also, you might want to be ready to make some custom
wall sections in case people build up landscaping in nearby buildings. :)
