From the cemetery to the north, following the coast, I've finally finished all the defensive rampart that protects the city from unwelcome guests.
There's a pair of defensive towers in the extremes, some accesses to inside the wall, stairs to access the upper part, sentry points and the tower bridge that acts as a defensive gate to protect the access to the commercial port.
The entry should be big enough to even allow drakkars to pass through, but none of the piers is big enough so I didn't tried.
All the wall is filled with workbenches at regular intervals to create a spawn proof area around the wall. Creatures can still get closer from their spawn places, but it's rarer. And due the thickness and height of the wall, most times will not aggro even if you are doing a viking rock concert just behind the wall.

Have something to say?
Yes, all "Valheimberg" entries are the same city, in my personal single player world I started many years ago.
Regarding blueprints, I'm very bad at it, so far tried only once and was a disaster (even considering it was a big building). At the end I needed help from 3 people to port the sawmill to Val-Con. So, for the moment I doubt I'll try it again.
About sharing the world file, it's a future possibility. But not before I find the proper place to build the archives. I want to make some kind of big library building where I will log (in signs) all the inspirations or ideas from other people I used to build my city. I don't want to publicly share everything as if it was only my own creation; credit where credit is due. And its going to take still some time, I need to reach a place outside the radius of the most heavy-instance zones or its going to tank me.
But I can open it for connection so you can take a tour; if you want you can find me at Val-Con Discord and PM me. Take in mind though, most places are around 40k instances and the peak zones are 62k. I never built it thinking in performance 😅
That's also why I added those small pieces of wood inlay in the wall. The initial design of the wall was more complex but I had to simplify it to reduce instance count. Those small pieces of wood at least give a bit of "salt". I'm testing damaging on purpose a few stone pieces here and there; sometimes the color change that causes looks nice too
