They just need a reinforced area and cast tidal wave into it as needed
Cool thread topic. I like threads like this. Plus I learnt something - Battagliola.
A lot of large cities don't have visible rivers, because they have been built over long ago.
You realize that Seattle is on a massive freshwater lake right? And has numerous rivers running through it? This is kinda my point. You generally never have large cities that don't have ANY rivers.
I mean, never minding drinking water and whatnot. How do you move goods throught the city? All that stuff that is traded - this IS a major trading point after all, must then travel overland? How can you be a major trading point with no water ways?
Waterdeep is clearly a renascence city, not medieval. By which time most of London's rivers had been built over. The Great Fire of London (1666) would have been easily extinguished had the water been exposed. The Thames doesn't count, since it has always been used for transportation, not fresh water (during the Great Fire water was taken from the Thames, but it was too far to do much good). Even before the pollution it was slightly salt where the city was founded.Well now yes. Middle Ages? Not so much.
