<snip> (...) I agree. I understood the "Datsville" concept as a way to share individual ideas and creations. Datsville exists to "showcase" our efforts, doesn't it? Wouldn't you want a Castle themed town to do the same. If I wanted to see TLG's (...) (25 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Lets get a datsville castle going

And of course we'd have to have a coast nearby so we can put in ships.... not to mention the wonderful forest where the Forestmen/Dark Forest/Theives live...

We have 2 or 3 large castles, each with villages,farms,etc etc etc and then have different armies in them and then have some sieges and battles. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.cad)
