I would say that it is to open for the size of the walls. The only thing I can think of which would be so open with so large/strong walls, would be a gold/silver mine or a mercury mining site in Spain (Used to get silver from rocks). The cost to build the walls would be so high, so only a town/city or port would have such walls.
Be safe

33 cm side in 1/1200 …. are about 390m, it's fine for a fort. The cities had more length. Regarding the wall thickness…sorry, but Langton has no finer walls. But these walls never were made solid, It would cost an arm and a face! Engineers used fillers for thick walls. |

That's a great looking terrain piece, I like it a lot. Should make for some interesting shore actions! |

I like it a lot. Just needs more buildings, more pavement, less trees and open undeveloped ground that would be unlikely inside a fortified site. |

Julian,
390 m is just a little under an athletic track pulled straight Think how long that is! Now times that by 4 that is over a mile of walls.
That is a small to medium town. Or walls around a port of a large town. I think your model is very good but not right. As Vol said add more lots more buildings and make a town. That would be something to see. Go for it, make it a great piece, not a good piece. I do know as I have made one. O.K. A part of one with a large port.
Good luck and be safe

Rory, this fort is well dimensioned, 390m may be very large, but Langton doesn't have shorter walls.( Maybe I should have shortened the length of the walls). This is the minimum size that you can do with these pieces.
In Europe there are forts with Italian trace with similar dimensions (250 or 350 m).
We shouldn't confuse a fortress of a fortified city. Although the layout of the walls is the same and principles are the same, I didn't want to represent a city.
On the islands that I'm doing now, as a matter of gameplay, I had to make reduced dimension.
I hope I have written this correctly:-) Have a good day,
Julián. |

Julian,
Love your islands. Look forward to seeing the finished ones. I'm so sorry but the Fort!!!!!! does not work for me. It just looks wrong. I will not say I think something is good just to be nice
Be safe
