[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 5533440, member: 29252"] No, no it's not. But it does force your opponent to have certain minimum resources to be able to take your fortress through the walls. And the primary point of fortifications is that you can build them up very slowly over time, while the person trying to take them down has to do so pretty much all at once. And you *can* do doors, sort of. You make a periodic Wall of Force trap (or Summon Monster and Resilient Sphere, if you want to do it on the cheap), and inside, you put a triggered Disintegrate trap, targeting the Wall of Force. To open the door, you hit the trigger on the Disintegrate trap, which gets rid of the Wall of Force. However many rounds later, the periodic Wall of Force trap replaces that wall. And, of course, if you do flying architecture, you can make this wall of force all-encompasing. Then fill the area with Forbiddance. And put Obdurium just behind the Walls of Force for good measure.... You're welcome. [/QUOTE]
