Fortress

A Fortress is a group of large stone towers built on a rock, surrounded by a heavily armed high wall with a single wooden Gate in the centre, and with a long staircase leading from the gate down to a Dock. There is one Fort for each team.

The Fort is the starting spawn point, and secondary objective, of Conquest mode. Outside the Fort is the Docks, where captains are elected and choose their ships. Inside the middle of the fort is each team's Flag; capturing the enemy's flag will instantly win the game for your team, regardless of how many Reinforcements the enemy team has left.

The only way to reach the enemy Flag is by destroying their Fort's Gate. At the bottom of the Docks is an Explosive Cart, which can be pushed up to the Gate to destroy it only if two thirds of your team are present.

Once the Gate has been destroyed, you are free to capture the enemy Flag by standing next to it for a certain period of time; although enemy players can still kill you to protect it. Enemies will begin spawning inside their Fort, rather than their ships.

Fortress walls hold multiple powerful defenses to protect the Flag:


 * 2 large towers, which each hold 1 Mortar and 3 Cannons, to the left and right corners of the Gate. These can be destroyed by your ship's cannons to make attacking the fort easier.


 * 6 Cannons above the gate, facing the Docks.


 * 2 Cannons on the left and right corners of the fort, facing out to the ocean.


 * 2 Mortars on the far left and right sides of the fort, facing out to the ocean.

There is also an empty expanse of jungle behind the fort.
