'''Dark fortresses''' ([[File:icon_site_dark_fortress_1.png]]) are [[site]]s created by [[goblin]] civilizations. They, along with [[dark pits]], take the form of simple towers surrounded by sprawling networks of trenches. In ASCII mode, the starting dark fortresses are marked as {{Raw Tile|Π|5:0:1}}, while subsequent ones are marked as {{Raw Tile|Π|0:0:1}} on the world map. | '''Dark fortresses''' ([[File:icon_site_dark_fortress_1.png]]) are [[site]]s created by [[goblin]] civilizations.

+ | The underground part of the fortress consists of so-called "pits" (not to be confused with [[dark pits]]). These pits come in two variants: "living pits" consisting of corridors and small rooms, and "work pits" consisting of large halls which may contain [[troll]]s, goods and goblin skeletons. Supposedly, the living pits are used as [[bedroom|dwellings]], while the work pits are used as [[industry|industrial]] areas and [[tomb|burial grounds]]. | ||
The main difference between dark fortresses and dark pits is the presence of a fortress structure in the middle of the site. Dark fortresses tend to be more developed and populated sites than dark pits, leading to more trenches, watchtowers and more interconnections between the towers through underground areas. Dark fortresses may also be built around a [[underworld spire|certain structure]] of foreign origin. | The main difference between dark fortresses and dark pits is the presence of a fortress structure in the middle of the site.
