Hi Ben,
When the group was working on standards, we were primarily thinking in terms
of temporary style one-level structures/stalls, not permanent buildings. So
it was a bit of a surprise - a pleasant and welcome surprise - when the
first creations were houses!!!
The standard as initially created is not fully suited to this style of
building, as your questions point to some short-comings in that area. That's
why I feel a Town standard is a good idea - more complicated, but a worthy
endeavour nonetheless.
The roadway envisioned for the Marketplace is not really a road or street,
but a pedestrian pathway amidst stalls. Equine and wheeled transport
wouldn't really fit except during early morning/late evening hours when
shoppers are gone. Certainly carriages wouldn't be expected to navigate
between the stalls.
At least, that's my understanding. Others among the standards group may have
other opinions.
So, I don't know that I've actually answered your questions. It looks a bit
more like a long-winded shrug. Not trying to duck the issue -- we just
really didn't consider the types of permanent buildings that have been
created so far.
(I really like the buildings that have been created so far. I hope to use
them as a basis for putting houses in my own city - once the wall is done.)
