-zenn Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) If I would make one, I would like to see: - Long docks, sufficient enough to also dock big ships. - a Jail - a Bar - Barracks - Officers place - Enough cannons - Cliff's - Palmtrees, and other vegetation - Maybe a cave with a sea entrance But above all; the shape of the fort needs to be logical, they wouldn't just pick a random spot and start building. It has to have to strategic capabilities.

Cpt. Tristan Posted August 23, 2011 Its there if you looks closley, its the 8th pic Eldorado is indeed the best LEGO fortress ever made. But if i would make one at myself, i would add the docking place, armory, cannons and soldiers, sleeping rooms, small kitchen and a prison. Maby one treasure room too. Captain Becker I have been working on my own port, Port de l'Ambition interminable, and am going to try to include most of that (I know there isn't room, I'm going to add a baseplate or two in the back).

Rhynix Posted August 25, 2011 I'm curious to see any updates. I'm busy with constructing a fort myself, allthough, I use the 3 to 10-modules to create one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadna Posted August 25, 2011 Personaly, I would want a fort with: Plenty of cannons Plenty of troops An armoury A treasury At LEAST one tower Admirals corters Prison keep Substantial dock (one big enouph for two Imperial Flagships) A single loading/Unloading crane Plenty of walking space A courtyard Surounding wall (all around the fort) Main gate leading onto the dock A walk-way on top of the wall for guards A storage And most importantly, a LARGE pub! My oh my... Better start designing, shouldn't I? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. Tristan Posted August 25, 2011 I'm curious to see any updates. I'm busy with constructing a fort myself, allthough, I use the 3 to 10-modules to create one... I can't wait to see it (unless I already have)! Well I think I'll post updates any time I can now. I have made the little red building into mini barracks (4 beds), have an interior to the officer's area, and have added a little open-air bar in the back. Look forward to some more significant updates in the next two weeks.

My oh my... Better start designing, shouldn't I? Yes, that will take a while. The best of luck to you and your fort! The main problem with my fort is that I didn't plan any of it out. I just started building. Although my docks are big enough for a couple flagships and a sloop but it would be a bit crowded. Personally, I don't really care about governor's or admiral's or whatever's quarters, in my opinion barracks are all that is needed for sleep. I think there should be some kind of office or officer's area for maps, keeping records of things, etc., but the most I would give for a single person is a slightly nicer area in the barracks. Even on my upcoming ship the "Captain's quarters" is going to be everything but the living space, like the officer's area in my fort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right now I am having trouble locating the right bases for the fort, so as soon as I start construction, I will post it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Becker Posted August 26, 2011 And most importantly, a LARGE pub! I disagree whit that. Imagine if the fort is under attack, and all the soldiers are drunk, even a little bit. They cant fight as well as clearheaded. And i dont think there were any taverns in the real forts. So in a nutshell =Theres a tavern in a fort= Fort is lost quickly!

I was making a joke there to lighten the mood. Even if I was to make a pub, I agree, all the troops would be drunk as a stick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
