Border Defenses

the trenches · the defenses · the lines

Carl's unfinished trench and tower network on the Naga and northern fronts, manned in a rush at code red.

Story so far

Prepotente surveys the Border Defenses on the southern The Naga frontier from the air and reports the enemy massing against them: elven trebuchets ranged in, about 100 The Madness mercenaries preparing to rush the trenches under the belief they're invisible, and armored vehicles under camo netting.

The defenses are nowhere near complete. Imani states nobody is in place and the defenses aren't done. Li Jun has two Splash Towers standing in Shanty Town and nothing more, with Li Na promising two additional towers within twenty minutes. Florin orders all teams to positions on the northern front, and Carl calls a Code Red telling everyone to man their lines and remember the plan.

Appearance

Trench lines backed by a partially built network of defensive towers, still under active construction.

Role

The half-finished fortifications the crawlers must hold when the assault arrives early.

Splash Tower — The tower type dotting the line, only two finished at Shanty Town.
The Naga — The southern front the defenses face.
Prepotente — Surveyed them from above and reported the buildup.
Carl — Ordered his teams to man them at code red.
