Star Fort.

[King of kong 1117]

Hello. After playing Empire: Total War. I thought it would be interesting if there was a crumbling Star Fort somewhere in Chernarus. Perhaps built by a Tsar, presuming Chernarus might've been part of the Russian Empire.

Features: I don't know...Maybe a small abandoned CDF outpost?

Edit: Why not have an underground passage that leads to Devil's Castle/Zubliney Castle

Nah

 

we already have two castles buddy

That would be really cool to see.  It'd be cool to see people hold up in it and fend off attackers.  Kind of like it is at places like Devil's Castle.

I know that. But they're very small and dull.

I just thought it might be interestng to see a star fort.

[m.w. vindicator 880]

Perhaps

[King of kong 1117]

Perhaps

Indeed...

[Korsbaek 1778]

Indeed...

 

Maybe.

Ive always thought Roman ruins would be quite cool. Altis (Arma 3) has  an amphitheatre for example.

[enforcer1975 1111]

Smaller castles and towers like those on the map would fit such a region much more imo. In Rhineland Palatinate we have a lot of of those small castles and watchtowers.

I don't know if Roman ruins would really fit the area, though. It doesn't seem like Rome would've had much presence where Chernarus was (I don't know for sure), and the medieval castles fit the locale much better. Who knows, though, ruins are cool.

[SalamanderAnder (DayZ) 1747]

Not that I'm opposed to it... But I'd rather see more buildings, towns, and modern infrastructure first. More "historical" sites in the woods would be cool too though.

 

 

 

 

On a completely unrelated note, this is the kind of stuff I think we're going to see in Godus when players start infringing on each other's territory. It's going to be interesting...

The Romans didn't build Star Forts. However, I'm fairly sure one of the old Tsars might've built one, if Chernarus was a real country, perhaps occupied by the Russian Empire at some point in time.

3 castles, zub, devils, and rog.

A star fort is not a castle.

[itsDIETZ 20]

A star fort is not a castle.

It is an evolution of the castle. There isn't a keep nor tall towers but definitely an evolution of it.

I just think it would be cool if we had a Star Fort. Maybe with underground warrens and caves. And maybe a little museum section with a Cossack Sabre or pike or somefin'

Devils, Zub and Rog. If I count correctly thats 3 castles.

Historical Sights

 

Chernarus has lots of old castle ruins, keeps and fortresses, which were built at the turn of the 11th and 12th century by Duke Kozlov, for the means of protecting important roads and grounds, which were often attacked from the sea and by northern neighbors. The Pik Kozlova above the Chernogorsk city is named after this duke, who is considered a founder of the first Chernarussian state. On the peak above the city there used to stand a warning post which protected the local provinces from pirate raids. This rocky peak is a favorite lookout point nowadays.

The majority of the structures of that time were made of wood, only the ruins of Rog keep and the famous Devil's Castle are preserved to this day. The Devil's Castle received its name many years later, perhaps sometime during the end of the 13th century. After the fall of Kozlov's Principate at the beginning of the 13th century, the fortress system fell apart; fortresses that weren't burned down were taken apart stone by stone, as needed for the structure of surrounding estates, or for different purposes.

The former Kozlovo Castle, now called the Devil's Castle, was supposedly inhabited by the yeoman Jakub Čert (Devil) from Gorka. His bandit campaigns started here at the castle. He enlarged the keep of the castle, using the loot from these raids and the castle holds his name to this day. According to legend, the Devil's Castle was burned down during the zagorian Karzeg's rebellion, Jakub Čert burned in the castle's main tower after he refused to surrender to Ataman Simurg. Only burned walls remain of the castle, haunted to this day by the spirit of Ivan Kozlov. Whatever the truth is, Devil's Castle is one of the most remarkable architectural sights in Chernarus and it became a rewarding destination for tourists.

 

 

With that being said, I don't think there'd be room for a fort of any type. It's too big to fit on the geographical terrain of the Chernarus map as well. (I.E; slopes, trees, hills) and most spots that were open are taken up by cities and towns If this were to be made and placed in a random location, then it wouldn't suit the whole Chernarus location if this map were to be ported in future Arma titles.

Nice project, have a gold sticker.

 

No seriously these are too big. I'll pass on this.
