Ok, great. I think then that just about anything which can be built on a
baseplate or two will be fine.

Cool, with a large city, we can just make a representative portion of
it, or perhaps not even make the whole scene contiguous. In that way, we
can make little clusters of buildings without having to worry about all
the "boring" buildings which should surround them.
If folks want a more rural inn for their characters to stay in, we can
just place it out in the countryside of the camp ground.

There had been some talk of a "neutral" central city, sort of a
"crossroads" of the world. However, it sounds like your city is large
enough to be flexible.

Great. In fact, with a large enough city, a few weird buildings won't
affect the overall character.
I think we're on a roll for an awesome castle display.
