I think he was intending to use the 1E DMG pricing tables, and have people design castles, and see whose design was best for holding off a besieging army.  But unfortunately, we moved cities halfway through that year, so I don't know if he did it... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />-Hyp.</blockquote>
