Burg Hohenstein is a base founded by DakkaDok on the 24th of January 2019. It is a castle built on top of a mountain.
The primary goal of Burg Hohenstein is to be as historically accurate as possible, using many defensive features common in real medieval castles.
Machicolations
These vertical gaps in the floor of the battlements allow defenders to hit attackers who get close to the walls with arrows and stones.
Crenellations
The merlons (raised parts of the battlements on top of walls) are high enough for a standing person to take cover behind.
