[WIP] Fortress battery

[Sigolf Brimabane]

So, I'm trying to design a fort. This is a quick idea that I had that I think would look cool. I'm not going for historical accuracy, I just want to build something that looks good. Eventually I'll try to build it in real bricks (working on a base right now). So, what do you think? How can/should I make the wall more interesting? Has anyone done something like this before? I'd be happy if you'd link me some cool fort builds, and real forts for inspiration. I've been searching on google, but I haven't actually found much.

If you are looking for some inspiration, take a look generally on fortifications builded in 18-19 century. To make wall more atractive, use brick with brick design, small arches attached along whole wall, use slopes, use different colours around cannon windows etc. Look at this for example:
