Sounds fine to me. We can always change it later if problems arise. It
sounds flexible enough to start with. One thing we do need to address is
city walls and street width. Say 16 studs for the street and same for walls
with a 2 stud set back on the wall, in order to have an alley behind
building along the wall? Maybe the gate should be centered on a 16x16 plate
so that the street attachs easily? Any thoughts?

PS No problem about the medieval spelling thing. :-) I have driven it into
my head. Had some embarrassing moments in college, being a history major
and all.
