You can implement indoor areas as collections of enterable objects,
such that a castle contains a castle wall, which contains
guardhouses and a courtyard, and the courtyard contains the main
keep as well as barracks, stables, a smithy, etcetera.  Or you could
use the sight-radius navigation for outdoors stuff, and ordinary
rooms for indoors things.  Sure, it would require a context switch
for coders and builders, and possibly even a separate database, but
it would work.
