There's a lot of great advice and suggestions in this thread; thanks guys.
Silveras, I would rather pick up Book of Strongholds & Dynasties since it has realm management, construction, and mass combat all in one book. However, I read the posts you made about it, especially the one were you posted that challenge, and I'm not to sure about picking it up. I don't want to buy a book with a broken system.
Btw, I posted that challenge in the rulesmaster forum on Mongoose's site. I didn't use your name so I hope you don't mind.
My players and I do like to go through shopping lists and draw floorplans, but only to a point. It's hard for me to descirbe how crunchy we get. We're more interested in fun than simulationism. To that end, I care more about support for fantasy elements than modeling real world castles and strongholds.
