]Oars RestThe idea im going for is a conservative approach. Only adding border controls where i need to and I will not add new locations if i feel other mods can do the job far better than i could. Some defenses like those in Whiterun Hold and The Reach are old and well established, while others may have been hastily erected due to the outbreak of the civil war and new threats to the hold.
A hold's military strength would have been taken into account in relation to how unmanned or ill-equipped the post was. You may find fine fortifications fully manned with mead and food supplies a plenty. Others may just be a tent and a few stockades, a scouting post which is a deterrent to attackers rather than a strategic stronghold.
Some borders would have been left unguarded all together if the holds were considered allies or had enough resources nearby in towns to defend themselves. I openly encourage the use of other mods to compliment my own. Such as; Mods which increase the size of the smaller towns and add defenses to them, mods which add roaming and more guards in general and mods which add npcs to make the roads busier.
