Florentine Bastions

flo_florentine_bastions

The military engineers of our city have mastered the design of low-profile angled bastions whose sloped walls scatter artillery fire and eliminate the blind spots that made older round towers so easy to undermine. Every significant stronghold we build draws on the geometry our architects have refined, producing fortifications that are both cheaper to garrison and far harder for any attacker to breach. This mastery of the Trace Italienne makes our walls the most modern in Italy and transforms the cost of holding them into a manageable advantage rather than a treasury drain.
