[QUOTE="mmadsen, post: 308030, member: 1645"] From SHARK's [url=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18134]original post[/url]: Chief areas for defense and fortification for you to be generally focused on are as follows: [List=1][*]The fortress itself [*]The surrounding forest [*]The mountains and hills within about ten miles in every direction. [*]The city of Koben-Charrak, and the river-crossings. There is an extensive barge system and river traffic that moves across, and up and down the great river. This river traffic is not only a source of supplies, but also troop deployment.[/List]Your forces are familiar with the terrain, and the terrain favours the defense. Attacking forces will be in for a difficult time, even under the best leadership. Being outnumbered, and with limited hard military support, you will have less margin for error, and will have to deploy and equip your forces carefully, and also to make every operation, ambush, and struggle count. The enemy forces may very well send elite units of adventurers to assassinate you, and wipe out the command staff before the arrival of the Legions. In addition, though you are quite capable, it should be realised that the enemy will very likely end up assaulting the fortress by storm. The Valloreans will not be merciful, nor will they spare the city populations. Anything that seems tainted and wicked in whatever manner, can be expected to be put to the sword, or burned at the stake. Be prepared for ferocious, relentless, and absolutely ruthless attacks by the Valloreans. [/QUOTE]
