I was not following that discussion at all, so maybe this was alredy adressed, it needs to be stressed though. These are not XVII century fortifications,we checked our sources and we knew images you posted.
I decided to go with the late, XV century look, if you look closer at the Bernard von Breydenbach image you had posted yourself; you will see that the wall line remained intact. You can see the fort and towers guarding the old harbour on the left side of image for example are exactly in the same place.
The fire and earthquake while very devastating didnt touch the walls.
The the anti artillery bastions had been added later and they werent used in our model.
I can understand anger of some of my team members because you seemed to believe that we didnt do our research.
tl:dr We did our research and the result is an effect of a serie of choices that we can defend.
With that being said, i think i will remake Ragusa in some ways in order to make it consistent with the rest of the cities - because im learning while doing it last model certainly will be a lot different from the first.
In ragusa for example i didnt add the merlons because i wanted to save polygons(You can see that there are only 4 of them, on late Minceta fort), this will be revisited because now i see that other moders use much more detailed models. First thing i did for Florence were those sweet cuboid long italian merlon-equipped towers.
Meanwhile work on the italian unique cities progresses.
Can you guess the cities?
