Description
Inspired by ancient Estonian strongholds.I applied some quite crazy gamma correction (darkening) on this one, but I think it made it only better.

when i saw this i emedietly thought about baltic strongholds. (latvia) basicly estonia and latvia were the same then.

Thank you for the comment!
Not the same, but similar, yes. Especially when you consider the buildings.
I think the common partΒ between Estonians and Latvians at that time would be best observed in the Livonian people. There is a pretty nice exhibition about that in the Turaida Museum .

Lots of detail .To bad it would only take a well placed match or2 & a molly-toff cocktails

Well, at that time in history and in that particular region, neither matches nor molotov coctails weren't available. And when the stronghold is well guarded, any other attempts of fire-raising are rather difficult.

Thank you for comments
Yes, there is always the Greek fire 
I think in a context where enemy lacks more serious siege weapons and techniques like the Greek fire you mentioned, the wooden fortresses might provide quite good protection.

See on tΓ΅siselt Γ€ge. Mulle tΓ€iega meeldib igasugune vana Eesti temaatika, ja sa oled vΓ€ga ilusti lahendanud siin kΓ΅ik - kindlus on terav ja taust udusem, kuid mitte lohakas (miski, mida mina tavaliselt saavutada ei suuda). Meenutab natuke Ilon Wiklandi "RΓΆΓΆvlitΓΌtar Ronja" illustratsioone
