   Those walls look like something straight out of Age of Empires II.

   I imagine they wanted to make extra sure they didn’t lose the territory again after reconquering it for the first time in hundreds of years.

   I’m sorry, it was actually the moops.

   That must have been expensive to maintain, just the garrison to man the towers alone.
