Warning!!! Extremely Long Post ;) I have begun working on a building standard imposed on new construction by local authorities in a late medieval town. Town layout and floor plan limitations still need to be made. Anyone who would like to help or (...) (22 years ago, 3-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle) !

The only thing that I dont' like is the fact that the alleyways are only 2 studs wide. A figure can not walk in a two stud wide area. It would be nice if the alleyways could be used after how much work will be put into this. --Kevin W. § (22 years ago, 3-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)

Comments. . . (...) There's a problem here, in that there are (at least) two standards for what constitutes believable design. TLC has traditionally made many concessions to playability and cost---for example, rooms and buildings with only three (...) (22 years ago, 3-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)

I have a bad feeling about forming a double standard. I know I have recently been out of loop here - my job has gotten me busy lately - but I don't understand the nitpickityness of the .castlers. I have seen people believing the MM Standard as a (...) (22 years ago, 3-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) As I envisioned it - these buildings would be like Daniel Siskund's sets - a larger scale than most Lego castle sets - so many details can be added. (...) I believe that some of this is historically accurate - depending on the town and time (...) (22 years ago, 3-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I agree with most of this. Please read my reply to Thomas about medieval towns. Medieval age circa 400 to circa 1500? - many different towns and layouts depending on the country and time period. Too much order is definitely a problem but to (...) (22 years ago, 3-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hey Ben, How's it going? I am not offended by your project. However, the standard you have written is a little bit wordy, IMO. It is a bit hard to follow and keep track of what the standard actually is. I realize that what you posted is just a rough (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)
