Trace-italienne walls There are already various kinds of modular walls available here on the STEX as well on the LEX (medieval walls, Asian-type walls, modern walls), but I was wondering if anyone would like to make modular star fort (trace-italienne) walls? Star fort fortifications were the norm in Europe from the Renaissance to the 19th century, and there are a lot of star fort fortifications outside Europe as well. For example, heblem from LBT BATted this star fort in Mexico: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=19966 Here's the link to Wikipedia about star fort fortifications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_italienne Obviously star fort fortifications are quite complicated, but I think a simplified version is certainly feasible. For example, this is a map of the historical center of my city, Manila (one of the places where star fort fortifications were built, by the Spanish). Why this would be beneficial for the game or community: It's the last major kind of wall/fortification that isn't available yet to the community, and it's perfect for someone looking to build a colonial-type city or a 16th-18th century type city. If anyone would like to take this on, I'm willing to take close-up pictures of the walls in this diagram, if necessary. Just send me a message. Thanks!

Why this would be beneficial for the game or community: It can help players create a more complete recreation of 16th-19th century city districts. Plus... it's the only kind of wall that hasn't been batted yet. Medieval walls have already been BATted, as well as Asian-style walls and modern ones. So why not star fort walls?
