>Your retarded country destroyed half its fortifications in the capital for the purpose of urbanization
>It also let every other minor fort outside the capital deteriorate until they disappeared

Another fort in better preservation

Some conspiracy theorists claim these are advanced tech

we have literally hundreds of forts along the coast due to foreign invasions (french, dutch, etc), some of them are star forts, i guess

We're more of a polygonal ring fortress country

ye

We also have wooden forts, although more contemporary (from the first half of the 19th century) today converted into museum

Fort van Beieren is my favorite, but thats mostly because my grandparents live within walking distance of it so a good chunk of my childhood was spent playing around in there

why did they add parking lots to a fort in 1749

They look cool tbhdesu

Was there a point building a fort in a star shape Were they harder to attack this way ? Someone explain

>>213963222
Because if someone is at the bottom of any wall, that point of the star cant shoot them but they're still visible and vulnerable to the garrison on another point of the star.

So if you sit anywhere along the wall, they can still shoot you.

The angled, thick walls of the star also help resist cannon-fire so your cannons have a secure gun platform.

>>213961396
Yeah we have those too

imagine living in one
