Red Storm mill vs Dutch mill

I was reading an AMA on Reddit about Dutch windmills.

Even though the mill in Red Storm is probably quite different from the Dutch ones, I still felt compelled to paste this part about the going ons around a Dutch windmill.

In the higher parts of The Netherlands, A corn mill often stood a couple hundred yards from the village not to be hindered by structures for catching wind. It was often accompanied with an inn providing lodging to travellers. In such a situation the husband often took care of the mill, while the wife ran the inn. A village's appearance was often dominated by the church tower and the windmill, which also signified a cultural divide. The church was God's place, while the windmill -far away from the church's reach- symbolized earthly needs and pleasures. This is why the mill was often accompanied by an inn which also served as a brothel and casino.

A brothel and a casino... now which clan would be interested in such endeavors? Hmm...
Sometimes, severity is the price we pay for greatness

I think Red Storm would benefit more from eventually becoming a small city than it would staying a small town. Put in a casino and a brothel... an extra windmill... a racetrack... stuff like that. It has a mixture of desert-town and 20's U.S. vibes for me.

I would love to see a gambling tent of some sorts.

Not that it couldn't be expanded on, but there already is gambling and whores in Red Storm.
