Improved more realistic cities!!

I noticed that as well, as an enemy coming from the mainland is forced into the narrow wrist of land on the western approach. I even omitted one of the three landward picket walls. Also remember this model is scaled down to fit EB. Although the fortifications at Late Ptolemaic Alexandria were not as complex as those at Late Punic Carthage, based on the model I made, the topography indicates it would be a nearly impossible nut to crack, if it was well defended. By land it can only be approached on a very narrow front. At a higher level, its placement in the western delta also suggests it was difficult to get to by land, when advancing from Asia.

This view is high and looking north.

This is a view from the south wall and port looking low and northwest.

The scale is about 1/10 the actual size, I believe.
