The problem with using slopes at the base is that it requires a lot of them,
and they aren't very common pieces.

Some were, but not all. :) I'd prefer to have a fairly uniform wall for our
town, and Troy has been kind enough to volunteer to make most of the wall
sections for us, so we can be freed to make more buildings. :)
Oh, and I'm still trying to convince Troy to either make the walls flat or have
machicolations. ;)

Thats what I'd like to see happen. :)

I was thinking roads would be 8 studs wide, since I have an idea for them I'd
like to try, and there is no way I could do it on twice the space. 8 wide is
too much for an alley anyways, 4 wide would be better. :) I'm making a
preliminary layout right now, so people can start claiming plots of land. :)

For example, a 3 brick high slope at the base on tope of which you can either have a 6 high wall section, or just build up with bricks. Top that (...) (22 years ago, 24-May-02, to lugnet.castle)
