Wall thickness depending on the building materials used

I'm building a map of a fantasy town and its surrounding area. I'm using Campaign Cartographer (CC3) for this and I'm striving for appropriate scale.

I know that, nowadays, the average outside wall thickness is of 30cm (12 in) while the inner wall range 10-20cm (4-8 in). Unfortunately, this average thickness is much influenced by AC usage and my folks have yet to invent AC, so cm is (mostly) off the table.

I know castle walls average 2 to 6 metres (7-20 ft), but that thickness is likely influenced by their defensive requirements so, again, I believe those numbers to be misleading and, therefore, they're also off the table.

Is there a pattern that would determine the increasing thickness of outer walls in houses with several floors? For instance, would a two-storey house have walls with the double thickness of a one-storey house?
