Glad to see that some people are using the fortresses as a base or atleast on how to turn one into a base ✌🏽✌🏽

I just couldn't pass it up, given how perfectly everything fits. In any game I play that has ruins or abandoned structures, I try and repurpose them before building from scratch. Thanks for the comment!

Aaaaaah, thank you! I've been pulling my hair out trying to get stuff to line up right. My OCD couldn't take that kind of heat. This helps so much.

@@aceofbasesOG The fact that I was able to secure any sort of base in Ashlands is already a miracle. But yes, I'm about to stone this baby up and get busy setting up camp. How did you get into the middle tower? I like that opening for your stairs in it.

@@Fade_Bloodlace The battering ram and the catapult will both destroy charred fortress blocks, including the doors with the spikes. Both are like using a sledgehammer with your eyes closed to open a door, but they'll do the job. The battering ram is towed like a cart, and make sure to bring a few pieces of wood to fuel it. You'll stand in front of it, between the handles, and facing the spikes. Not intuitive. If you're very careful you can remove the door with little damage to the surrounding tower. Both are in the first tab of your build menu. Congrats on your foothold in asthma-ville!

Thank you!

My personal build i started by evening area to doorway ground level and it still fit perfectly. That snap point is nice but not necessary with how nicely shaped the fortresses are to fit 4x4 floors perfectly.

Sounds great! It does seem like they intended to make it easy to build inside.

Thank you! I'll post another video soon with a walkthrough of the now mostly finished interior. It turned out nice, I think. :)

I did not know that the central tower collapses if not supported. That might explain why I'm finding random mable laying around

Only partially. Once I'd excavated all the dirt there was a tower floating in the air, ending at the bottom of the tower doorway. I believe the dropped material was Grausten, but my memory may be faulty. :)

...or they built it pretty much the same tools and primatives that we are using to build (just with different skins).

I agree, probably the same toolset. I said as much at ~5:20. Thanks for the comment!

These things happen. I'm working on getting a Valkyrie trophy so ballistae on the roof can be targeted, but until then I'll have to depend on workbenches surrounding the neighborhood and my own ability to take them down fast with magic. I did have one attack a much smaller build I had in another keep, and the damage was pretty negligible. Between my attacks and the spikes on the keep tower, the Valkyrie went down pretty fast and all that got destroyed was a workbench sitting at the base of the keep. But, in the end, it's a game and any rebuilding will be just as much fun as the first time I put it up. :) Update: Pulled a full-health Valkyrie onto the fort. I have a one-star Asksvin up top, plus 6 ballistae set to Valkyries. Final loss was 3 decorative charred beams from under the top floor, and 75% of the lizard's health. And a torch. She dropped pretty fast from just the Ask's attacks and the ballistae. 8 missiles fired total between them. It was a non-event. Minor repairs after just topping up all the build pieces and replacing the 3 decorative beams. 9/10.
