This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Not this one, but newer forts were built with angled walls to help protect against canon balls and the like.
But there the walls were still vertical to the ground yeah?
