    @Gandwarf: the windows...hm. Originally I was going to throw arrow slits into the tower, but now that I think about it, there are only seven soldiers in the entire village...but likely there'd be enough levied hunters to set up some archer posts. Yeah, I'm gonna throw in some arrow slits. The issue is one between allowing light to enter and security - so they'll likely be larger than necessary, but smaller than currently.

    @Ravells: Thanks!

    @Redrobes: Not a campaign, yet. I have plans to throw it into my tiny, tiny village I'm building (population: 60). I fully intend to throw the village up here when I'm done, but it'll probably be a while (final exams + month in Russia).

    @Ascension: I'd probably have tried to make a larger one, but even when I try to make huge buildings I make them small, so I just decided to shoot for a small one. Glad you like it!

    I think the windows would probably be ok with that size if they had bars.

    I'm repping your for Gandwarf - he's much more generous and upstanding than I am. As a matter of fact I'd probably demand you share your whole village (and include a pie stand and market) before I'd part with rep.....

    Gandwarf is just much more generous...

    Maybe not .

    It's your keep of course... but windows also used to be a lot smaller as these kind of buildings couldn't be properly heated. Keeps and castles were notoriously dark and drafty in the middle ages.

    Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
