User:Type: Sparky/Ramparts (Besiege)

The Ramparts are the areas on top of the Fortresses in Besiege. It's a highly strategic point where teams can fire at the enemy team without having fire returned to them (mostly). Some tanks are specialised at attacking from the Ramparts, while others are specialised in attacking the enemy's Ramparts.

Structure
The Ramparts are above everything else in the Besiege Fortresses. They span the entire Fortress in length, and block what is below from being seen by anything that's not inside said area below the Ramparts.

The Ramparts are a special area. They can only be accessed by stairs located in the Cornerstones and the Keep, and sometimes stairs in the Outer and Inner Rims. Where the Cornerstones would be located, there are towers that act as solid obstacles. Stairs lead into and out of these towers. There is a tower like this in the center as well. It's huge and encircles the Keep.

The Ramparts are, otherwise, a long stretch of bricks. There are some valuables hidden around on the Ramparts, but apart from that there isn't much point in going on them.

Tanks on the Ramparts can shoot at Tanks which are not on the Ramparts. Tanks which are not on the Ramparts, however, cannot shoot at Tanks on the Ramparts, unless they are High-Angled shot type Tanks.

Strategy

 * The Ramparts are a powerful place. Snipers can exploit the cover by taking time to properly aim at their enemy.
 * Area shot type Tanks such as the Triple Shot can unleash a hail of bullets from a safe place. It's an effective tactic for distracting enemies and can hold off a Siege door assault.
 * High-Angled shot type Tanks, such as the Multi-Mortar, can reach the enemy's territory with their shots while on the Ramparts, and even their enemy's Ramparts if firing from the very edge!
 * The X-Bow and Eagle Artillery's unusually long range makes it very easy for those Tanks to fire at the enemy's Ramparts.
 * What's even stranger is that the X-Bow is not a High-Angled shot. This can catch first-time enemies off guard.
 * Attacking the enemy's Ramparts is only possible with the above strategies or a High-Angled shot Tank near the Ramparts.
 * Despite the Rail's characteristics of having an instantly-travelling shot, it won't last all the way to the enemy Ramparts.

Trivia

 * The Ramparts is the only place where Tanks cannot be hit at all (the very back of the Ramparts) until a Siege Door is destroyed.
 * The X-Bow is the only Tank able to hit the enemy Ramparts which is not a High-Angled shot.
