In some civilizations, only the keep (or cathedral) actually had a
wall which encompassed the grounds, and other buildings grew up on the
outside of the walls.  As the town grew in size, additional areas were
walled of to allow more townspeople reguge within the walls. You are
rght in that a 120-yd wall doesn't allow a great deal of area after
buildings, etc., are taken into accout, but without adding a SimCity
moule to the game I think it may be difficult to accomplish what you
want . . .  although I am in favor  of putting a limit on structures
inside a wall.  Perhaps there should be an option regarding whether yo
want a structure inside or outside a wall?
