For the architectural stuff, we would need a second TLC motto: 'build
well' :)

TLCs motto (IIRC) is 'play well', not 'build well'. A large portion of
the existing sets have to do with battles or adventure (Castle, Pirate,
Star Wars, Adventurers to name a few). Town sets seem to be oriented
towards a different type of conflict, cops vs bad guys. Even the 'Race'
play theme had an underlying concept of winning and losing. The
Paradisa, Scala & Belville themes differ in that they are more 'real
life' (a more perfect existance). Little conflict or battle. I find it
strange that TLC seems to avoid direct reference to guns and wars, but
encourages battles and conflict.
