I've been pondering how the patterns of snowfall can shape a fortress's layout—using natural ice formations as defensive barriers. What's your take on that idea?
The idea has merit if you can predict where the snow will fall and shape it into reliable walls. It would give you a quick, low‑cost barrier, but you must plan for its fragility—melting, shifting, and the need to rebuild it. It could serve as a first line of defense, while your stone walls hold the final line. Use it strategically, but don’t rely on it alone.
Sounds solid, but remember to map the snow distribution before you start shaping. A little statistical check on melt rates could save you from a mid‑winter breach. Keep the stone walls ready—no one likes a flimsy first line.
Indeed, a precise map of snowfall and a calculation of melt rates will make the ice walls dependable. I will keep the stone walls ready as our final safeguard. We must not underestimate the cold.
Good plan, stick to the numbers and keep a margin for surprise blizzards. Stone for the last line, ice for the first. Let's stay ready.
I will keep the calculations tight and leave a buffer for unexpected storms. Stone will hold the line, ice will block the front. We will be prepared.
Excellent, the buffer will keep the system robust; keep refining the models as new snowfall data arrives.
