Kwourin didn't start out as a military town. It started out as mining boom town. These towns, as I understand it, often grow faster that it is possible to establish proper administration. Johannesburg, in my own country, is a good example. They tend to be haphazard in design and reflect the rapid influx of many people.

When Kwourin beame a Grey Watch outpost it acquired a fortress and administraitve buildings, which will be included in the next draft of the map. The Watch then abandoned it and its population began to shrink.

Enough of the belated after the fact justifications for the layout. Here is the post-modern reason for it. I used the RPG Citymap Generator to set up the layout. I chose the option for a "Medium sized Central European City". I think that by adding in the up until now left out larger buildings some of your concerns will be adressed.

Thanks for the input guys.
