My current fort while I wait for the next release. Crammed into a tiny map in a small world for CPU efficiency, 'cuz I don't want to wait several hours per season. I decided on a slight variation of my typical "fortress in a box" layout by using ramps to have a fortress that slants deeper underground at an angle.
( 1052 Mid Spring → onwards )
The two corner decks are the only entrances to Goldengenius; there is no way in from the ground floor except by climbing up here and going down through the entrance ramps, which can be sealed shut by pulling the drawbridges down. It's not especially secure (ambushers don't tend to get discovered until they're at the very doorstep of the fortress) but I think it's pretty cool anyhow. Once I get more elites I'm probably going to start posting patrols on the ground level outside. - RPB

I like the way the keep on the surface is looking, esspecaily the checkerd walls (that's dead ...um... hot? (didnt know there was a word filter here lol)). Are you moving away from the ramp entrance idea that you had earlier (ie are you going to make a different entrance through the curtian wall)?

Not really. You can get into the courtyard through the tunnels under the outer wall, but from there the sealing ramps are the only way to access any other part of the fort (including the tops of the walls).
