OOC: Well that makes it easier. Btw, could I have a description of the fortress and defenses?
IC: *The trebuchets open fire on the fortress, while all archers and scorpions watch for enemies.*
OOC: Two wall layers, a keep, four towers a side on bot walls, the walls are given a slant to make them harder to bust through. There is also a deep pit surrounding the fortress. *My troops keep waiting as they are in no immediate danger*
OOC: How high are the outer and inner walls? And is there a bridge across the pit? If so, I'd like a description of it and its position (north, east, etc.).
IC: *The following volley varies from aiming at the northern wall to the inner fortress.*

IC: *The following volley varies from aiming at the northern wall to the inner fortress.*
OOC: Outer is 50 meters, inner is 45 meters. There is a bridge, but most of it has been drawn up, it's south. *They find it hard to hit the inner fortress, but possible, most stones are deflected, but the ones that hit the inner wall make a bit of a mess*

OOC: Not exactly how I envisioned it, but okay. And you do realize that 50 meters is 165 feet, right? I'm not sure if that's canon or allowed. KitKat, what's the general idea behind the height of HQ walls? Can they be this high?
IC: *Trebuchets continue to fire, heavily damaging the outer wall.*

I can shrink it if KitKat says so. *They don't do to much because of the aforementioned slope*

Gundabad's walls are the size of a mountain. Well, the keep walls anyway. The others are super high, but not as high as the keep.
Tul Generas of the Orcs, Darthraxx of the dragon Knights. I RP, and have lots of fun.

OOC: So why can't 15 large boulders do much damage to your wall? This is the outer one they're aiming at, in a pretty small area, so I don't see why they wouldn't do much.
IC: *The barrage continues, though now in an even more concentrated area.*

Gundabad's sort of make sense. Here, well, ultra-high walls just don't work. They don't fit the total size of the fortress, they don't the geography, and they don't fit the place's history. At least Gundabad's sort of fit.

So would we say around 50 feet wall would be the size for Dol Guldur's?

There is a slope. *The wall is only slightly damaged*

And how exactly would the slope (which I'm assuming you're using to describe the wall?) prevent massive boulders flung at high velocities from doing damage? And how thick are the walls in the first place?
IC: *Boulders continue to pound into the walls.*
OOC: Oh, and would you mind getting back to the battles in West Rh. and the VOA? Thanks.

And how many degrees is this angle? In which direction?

OOC: Sorry I forgot to reply until today, the angle is down thicker at the bottom than the top 5 meters wide at the top and 15 at the bottom. And the reason you do less damage is because your boulders are applying the same force on a larger surface area than a traditional flat wall. And sure, I'll get back to those battles. *The walls continue to hold*
Btw, could I have a description of the fortress and defenses?
