Citadel City	comment	Frequently in fiction, your typical city tends to take the view that when it comes to defense, Crazy-Prepared is good. Very good. In fantasy or medieval settings, such a city will always have high and thick walls, which usually enclose the entire city and watchtowers. The thick walls will constantly be patrolled by a sizable force of guards, who are very well-armed, -armored, and -trained. These guards will also frequently have ready access to heavy artillery for defensive use, including catapults, ballistae, and/or even (if the setting allows it) cannons. A moat is usually present as well, usually filled with water or sharpened stakes, but which in more fantastical settings may also be filled with molten rock or home to large, hungry beasts. More modern settings will feature naturally updated defenses, from electric fences to bomb shelters. Futuristic settings will have Force Fields, automated turrets, and even more strange and novel mechanisms. One which protects large areas of land around the city may surround them with The Great Wall. Of course, the practicality and costs of creating and maintaining these defenses will never be brought up, as well as the original reasons for creating said defenses. This usually means that these defenses vaguely imply a Crapsack World with a horde of rapacious invaders; after all, there would have to be some justification for those preparations in the first place, even if it's never explicitly stated. If these defenses are put to the test (and they usually will be), the results will vary, depending on the work. These can range from the city being destroyed to showcase how prepared/numerous/tough the armies of the villain(s) are, to pretty much holding up to whatever gets thrown at them with little effort. This is a subtrope of Crazy-Prepared. See also The Siege, in which the invaders surround the citadel to cut off its supplies. If the defenses fall, the after effects may include Watching Troy Burn.

Citadel City / int_11d152d0	comment	Belgariad by David Eddings, being set in a classic 'High Fantasy' world, has no shortage of equally-classic Castle Towns. Several of them, however, goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to being stupidly defensive: The Citadel of the Algars is the only permanent structure in the Algarian grasslands - the Algars are otherwise nomadic. It's practically a man-made mountain which the Algars have been constructing nonstop for centuries - they have annual drag-boulders-to-the-Citadel competitions. Its sole purpose is to be a huge target for any invading army - there's basically nothing inside except for a huge labyrinth that anyone breaching the gate can get lost in while Algarian bowmen take potshots at them from atop the walls. The City of Riva is located on a desolate, rocky island in the middle of the western sea. It covers the ONLY sizable cove where an army could land, with a huge wall. Inside, the city is build in tiers, and every house is part of he fortification - all the walls that are turned 'outwards' are built extra-sturdy and windowless, so in case of a wall-breach, every tier can become a new wall as the defenders gradually fall back to the Rivan Castle itself - which, of course, has some pretty imposing walls and defenses. The entire reason the city was built, on a previously-uninhabited island, was to protect the the Orb of Aldur. No army has ever so much as breached the outer walls... but the defenses have, on many occasions, proved less than formidable against trickery and infiltration.

If the player finds one in their map, they can send a member of the army to check on it and tell them to close their gates, receiving items as thanks and occasionally recruiting new cast members. In Fire Emblem Fates, both Nohr and Hoshido have citadel cities in their territories. The capital of Nohr, Windmire, is a mix of this and Underground City.

The Cities of Sigmar faction is entirely based on the trope. Each City of Sigmar is massive a city and almost all have massive walls usually reinforced magic. These walls contain cannons, lasers, magical weather control machines, magical forcefields and many cities add moats of magical water, liquid metal, or lava to the list of defences. There is also the Thanator's Manse, which is literally an oversized castle.

Citadel City / int_3e8c09b9	comment	On top of the walls surrounding the entire civilized world of Attack on Titan, there are more straightforward examples in the form of cities like Zhiganshina and Trost, placed just outside of the main structure of the walls with outcroppings surrounding them. The heavy guard and gun presence on the walls of those cities is actually a cost saving measure for the rest of the wall; manning the entire wall would spread defenses impractically thin, so the cities are set out as bait to draw the Titans to specific points where defensive elements can be concentrated.

The utility of all those walls is questionable: By the time Cerrmor faction is able to fight its way to the capital and besiege the dun, the Cantrae faction has taken so many casualties that they have to give up two of the outer rings after no more than a token battle because they don't have the manpower to defend them anymore. And then a defector from the Cantrae faction reveals the location of the Secret Underground Passage leading out of the city from the fourth ring, which the defenders then use to sneak in.

There is a gameplay reason for this, however, as for the first time in the series, cities are separate cells from the surrounding game-world. These cities must entered via a door or gate. This obviously means that the game-designers have to design those cities so that you can only enter and leave them via the door(s), which is most easily done via this trope.

Citadel City / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Ankh-Morpork was once a walled city, but much like such cities in real life it eventually overran its borders, and the walls were picked apart over the years by citizens in need of building materials. The remains of this earlier wall are to be found at intervals inside the City, rendered redundant when it began to overspill from its original boundaries and thus necessitating a second wall to be built. The second set of walls and towers are more or less intact, although the castle and keep on the Tump which would have been the strategic lynchpin of the system have long since fallen into ruin. "Today" the city is again demonstrating why walls become redundant, as its seemingly unstoppable growth has created suburbs which stretch a long way outside the walls. There appear to be no plans to build an even longer and far more expensive third wall. Lord Vetinari abhors un-necessary effort and expense. On top of that, Ankh-Morpork actually has a unique way to deal with invaders, one that does not need walls: If a barbarian horde were to besiege the city, the citizens would welcome them with open arms, and before the barbarians would realize, they had become part of the city life. The first line of defense against invasion nowadays is a sign reading "Thank you for not invading our city. Have a nice day." Zigzagged with Lancre Town. The capital â€œcityâ€� of the Kingdom of Lancre is established in Wyrd Sisters to have no walls, making the nightly locking of the gates pointless. However, itâ€™s a very small town with a very large castle, and Lords and Ladies establishes that in a real emergency, the entire population can hide behind those walls.

Citadel City / int_46aac2a3	comment	Elden Ring gives us the city of Leyndell, capital of the Lands Between prior to the divine civil war known as the Shattering. A massive, imposing, and opulent city surrounded on all sides by extremely high walls and located on top of a difficult to access plateau, Leyndell was besieged at least twice during the past but never once fell owing to how absurdly defensible and fortified it is. Its walls have been breached only one time in its entire history, when one of the largest dragons to ever live attacked the city, but he too was killed and his petrified corpse is still a major landmark in the city by the time the player gets there. The outskirts of Leyndell are a ruined battlefield littered with craters and wrecked siege equipment, while every inch of the interior is patrolled by Elite Mooks and minibosses ready to ruin the player's day.

(Not that it did much good for either one when it came to stopping Deathwing...) Stormwind is a traditional medieval castle-style citadel, while Orgrimmar is amongst a mountain range with only a few walls built between them. There's also Ironforge (carved into a mountain with gates that could, and did, hold off the entire Horde) Thunder Bluff (built on top of a collection of mesas), Undercity (built underneath the ruins of Lordaeron, and only accessible through a maze of tunnels), Darnasus (built inside a hollow tree stump larger than most mountains), and The Exodar (a crashed and largely buried spaceship). The climactic raid of Mists of Pandaria was the Siege of Orgrimmar, which was Exactly What It Says on the Tin. In the end, a small strike team (to whit, the players) is put together to systematically weaken the defenses, because otherwise, the attackers have no real chance of success, only a bloody stalemate.

Citadel City / int_52f6626	comment	Haven City is the last known human holdout on the entire planet during Jak II: Renegade. It's a essentially a self-sufficient fortress, surrounded by thick walls and an eco-powered energy shield that protects the city from the Metal Heads, in addition to constant patrols by the city's defense force, the Krimzon Guard. It's essentially impenetrable, and because crops and livestock are produced inside the walls, it can withstand a siege of any duration (and has, in fact, done so for centuries now). The only weak point is the fact that the city, and by extension the shield wall, is powered by eco, which is obtained from mines outside the city that the Metal Heads actually can attack. A looming eco shortage is a frequent concern raised during the game, as without the shield wall the city stands no chance against the Metal Heads.

Unlike some, there's a clear justification for it; Sauron's forces are out there and the place was originally built as a military fortress, only becoming the capital city much later (after Osgiliath and Minas Ithil — now Minas Morgul — were overrun). Its current Old name was Minas Anor, "the Sun Tower" name means "the Watchtower". The Silmarillion has Gondolin, which as well as being a Hidden Elf Village is practically a Citadel Country.

Originally settled by Christian farmers, the planet Arrarat was supposed to be a peaceful venture, so the city was not walled in. Then the Bureau of Corrections got involved, and began dumping convicts on the planet. To protect its interests, the CoDominium sent a Marines who fortified the city of Harmony, and made a fortress of Garrison attached to it. King David's Spaceship: The city of Batav is a typical example of this, due to being on a low tech world. This is not without reason; due to local climate changes, barbarians migrated and besieged the city.

After 30 years of existence, it has gone from being merely a military base under special U.N. jurisdiction to to full blown city that's become largely autonymous from that organization in practice. Domed to protect against the hostile environment of the Faery world, FAF airbase is safe from enemy attack with its autocannons and bleeding-edge combat planes. The much smaller forward bases aren't so lucky and vulnerable to enemy infiltration or assault.

Unfortunately it isn't enough to repel a surprise invasion when the Kushan show up en masse and the kingdom's forces have been dispersed throughout the land because of the king's madness. The port city of Vritannis is a powerful city state that grew wealthy from international banking and trade, so that it becomes the natural staging area for the armies of the Holy Alliance. The Kushan invasion makes its great walls, moat, and adjacency to the sea seem like good investments, although they would have been screwed anyway without the arrival of The Cavalry. As of the end of the Millennium Falcon Arc, Griffith's new capital city of Falconia is a shining metropolis of white stone with soaring, gargantuan walls all around, multiple layers of fortification on the inside including gatehouses and drawbridges, and a kind of acropolis elevated above the rest of the city where the Falcon himself goes to roost.

Praag in particular has walls tall enough to serve as a Worf Effect of sorts by serving as a reference point for Kholek Sun-Eater's size (a dragon-ogre big enough to look over the walls). The Tilean city of Verezzo is built on the only high ground in an area of flat land and surrounded by a system of very strong walls and bastions. The Verezzans are very reluctant to expand the borders of their cities, as this would mean weakening the strength of the fortifications by extending piecemeal into the plains, and as a result the city is filled with very narrow streets and very tall houses, some of which have become so high that they've become additional towers and have been incorporated into the defenses.

Citadel City / int_90f42a9b	comment	The Wheel of Time has many fortified cities, due to being a mostly medieval setting where walls are still effective defensive measures, though this changes as the books progress, thanks to both magical and technological advances. Most notable is Tar Valon, which is triply defended by being built on an island in the middle of a large river, surrounded by Power-wrought walls, and home to the White Tower of the Aes Sedai Mage Species and their Super-Soldier Mindlink Mates. It's well known to have never been successfully besieged — though this is an Internal Retcon quite insistently maintained by the Aes Sedai, who prefer that people not know that an army once made it as far as the Tower grounds. However, by the time a siege actually becomes relevant in the latter few books, the advent of traveling has become so widespread that its walls are useless. Also of note is the Stone of Tear, a partial example in that it is technically an addendum to a city (though perfectly capable of acting like one at need), but goes all-out on the citadel aspect. It's often described as an artificial mountain, and is also protected by a prophecy which states it cannot fall until a sword hidden deep within is retrieved by a certain person who would be in charge of the capturing army. This seems to be a Catch-22 Dilemma, as the army would be unable to succeed unless they had already done so. The answer is that the leader independently sneaks in just before the army attacks.

There is a gameplay reason for this, however, as for the first time in the series, cities are separate cells from the surrounding game-world. These cities must entered via a door or gate. This obviously means that the game-designers have to design those cities so that you can only enter and leave them via the door(s), which is most easily done via this trope. Skyrim carries of the tradition of walled cities from Oblivion. Not all the walls are in top condition — Whiterun's outer defenses are crumbling and neglected — but if you get involved in the civil war that's gripped the province, you'll find yourself testing multiple cities' defenses.

There's also a massive castle, the Red Keep, situated at an elevated point in the city's center. Lannisport is in a similar boat, though slightly smaller. Also the Lannister seat of Casterly Rock, which is located a mile north of the city and is basically a hollowed-out mountain and practically a small city unto its own. Winterfell, officially just a castle, is one in all but name. The cluster of houses, workshops, markets, inns, and other buildings right outside the castle walls, the "wintertown", has a population of 15,000 (at least for half the year), with the castle itself adding another 1,000 or so (there are two hundred permanent guardsmen and presumably several times that number in other servants and retainers); combined this puts it around the low-end size of a real medieval European city. massive walls of grey granite[19] with a wide moat between them. The outer wall is eighty feet high, while the inner is one hundred feet high, with a wide moat between them. There are guard turrets on the outer wall and more than thirty watch turrets on the crenelated inner walls, defended by a full time household guard of two hundred men-at-arms, with the ability to quickly levy thousands of troops for defense from the outlying areas if need be. There are only two gates, one of which is a drawbridge opening directly to the market square of the wintertown. The city is also built on a natural set of hot springs, and the citadel/castle itself has greenhouses for growing food.

The "curtain wall" surrounding it is nearly a hundred meters tall and boasts colossal siege cannon as well as anti-air missiles, gun emplacements, and large garrisons. There are only a handful of gated entry points, each with its own highly reinforced guard houses. Topping it all off (literally) is a huge shield generator that can protect the entire interior space from artillery fire virtually indefinitely. Unfortunately, the city's substantial suburbs (as much as half of its population either lives or works outside the walls) are not protected at all aside from a handful of bunkers, its design serves to prevent the defenders from launching counter-attacks with any real effectiveness, and cooping a few tens of millions of humans up together leads to panic and near rioting. In the end, the final Chaos assault destroys almost all of the fortifications before being repelled by, ironically, a counter-attack that the defenders never would have countenanced were their walls still standing. Their rival, Ferrozoica Hive, is implied to be equally impressively defended (both sets of defensive works date to a "Trade War" the two hives fought around a century before) — which is why, when they arrive, the Imperial fleet just lances it from orbit.

It's a essentially a self-sufficient fortress, surrounded by thick walls and an eco-powered energy shield that protects the city from the Metal Heads, in addition to constant patrols by the city's defense force, the Krimzon Guard. It's essentially impenetrable, and because crops and livestock are produced inside the walls, it can withstand a siege of any duration (and has, in fact, done so for centuries now). The only weak point is the fact that the city, and by extension the shield wall, is powered by eco, which is obtained from mines outside the city that the Metal Heads actually can attack. A looming eco shortage is a frequent concern raised during the game, as without the shield wall the city stands no chance against the Metal Heads. Spargus in the sequel is another example. City of outcasts near desert, from which it is separated by giant gate (which you actually defend from The Marauders at one point) and walls on massive rock. The only unwalled section is the lagoon, which is instead covered by giant cannon that is used by Wastelanders for target practice for biggest high score to keep them trained with it. Unlike Haven City it is not self-sufficient, but Wastelanders have an entire garage of buggies they use for desert scavenging missions.

This is a common feature of Abzan settlements on Tarkir. In the present, the walls are the main defences; in the distant past of Fate Reforged, they mount ballistae on top to deal with marauding dragons; and in the alternate present created by Sarkhan's meddling, they've been taken over by the Dromoka dragon brood and the ballista platforms have been turned into landing pads.

Moreover, their entire country is enclosed in a vast wall. Then the two species forged a five hundred-year peace before the fighting reached those defenses, leaving it all a wasted effort.

Citadel City / int_b49f3244	comment	In Wrong Time for Dragons, three of the four Elemental Clan capitals are protected by walls. The Air Clan's fortress is located atop a mountain peak called the Fang of the Four Winds and is surrounded by stone walls, the only city in this world with them. The other two walled cities (the Water Clan's capital of Hundred Fields and the Earth Clan's capital of Feros) use wood. Averted with the Fire Clan's capital of Oros, which is located underground and has no defensive fortification. Why? Because any attacked would first have to go through the Fire Clan's battle mages, which are the best of all the Elemental Clans, especially on their home turf (the air is so hot and dry that it robs the Air and Water Clan mages of much of their power). To a lesser degree, the "capital" of the Cat Clan is a castle in the woods surrounded by a living wall of thick trees.

Citadel City / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 The Imperium has several Citadel Planets ("Fortress Worlds"). One of them is Cadia, which is located near the only stable passage to the Eye of Terror from which the Legions of Hell regularly emerge. Nearly three quarters of the population serve in the military, Child Soldiers are taught to use a gun before they learn to read, and is protected by its own fleet of spaceships. This being 40K, it still wasn't enough to prevent the invading forces of Chaos from destroying it at the end of the "Fall of Cadia" campaign. Each Space Marine chapter has a "fortress monastery" as its HQ. Each is basically a self-sufficient city complete with living quarters, workshops, temples, spaceport etc. Every Imperial space ship in the universe basically fits this description, with a crew size of at the lowest end 20,000 men, they have the population of a small to large city, defenses capable of dealing with both the threats of warp travel and capable of defending against the ridiculous firepower of anything in the same category with it for at least a short amount of time. The Eldar Craftworld UlthwÃ© is a massive world-ship with a population in the billions trapped orbiting the Eye of Terror, the same warp storm which is so dangerous it requires a planet like Cadia to act as a Beef Gate for the rest of real space. It's built to withstand constant attacks and has done so for millennia, and almost all of its population has some degree of martial training. Gaunt's Ghosts: In Necropolis, the city of Vervunhive is a formidable example. The "curtain wall" surrounding it is nearly a hundred meters tall and boasts colossal siege cannon as well as anti-air missiles, gun emplacements, and large garrisons. There are only a handful of gated entry points, each with its own highly reinforced guard houses. Topping it all off (literally) is a huge shield generator that can protect the entire interior space from artillery fire virtually indefinitely. Unfortunately, the city's substantial suburbs (as much as half of its population either lives or works outside the walls) are not protected at all aside from a handful of bunkers, its design serves to prevent the defenders from launching counter-attacks with any real effectiveness, and cooping a few tens of millions of humans up together leads to panic and near rioting. In the end, the final Chaos assault destroys almost all of the fortifications before being repelled by, ironically, a counter-attack that the defenders never would have countenanced were their walls still standing. Their rival, Ferrozoica Hive, is implied to be equally impressively defended (both sets of defensive works date to a "Trade War" the two hives fought around a century before) — which is why, when they arrive, the Imperial fleet just lances it from orbit.

Citadel City / int_c0eae17	comment	Many Total War games feature walled cities that must be protected from invasion. Games in the series that feature more modern settings (Empire, Napoleon, Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai) tend to avert this, however, with castles and forts being besieged instead of cities (which are usually seen in the background shots). Most prominently featured in Rome and Medieval games. Successfully attacking walled cities there either required spending a number of turns besieging it (until supplies run out and the defenders give up) or storming it, which usually means the attackers have siege devices such as battering rams, ladders, siege towers, catapults, ballistae, trebuchets, mortars, and/or cannons. In Empire, Napoleon, and Shogun 2, infantry units don't need any such devices and can climb walls on their own.

Prior to the end of the Last Great Time War, nothing has been able to breach even two sky trenches. Then a large Dalek force manages to break through all 400 sky trenches over Arcadia and ravages the city. On the other hand, despite having fewer sky trenches, the Capitol's defenses are never breached. Then again, given that this is the Citadel of the Time Lords, containing their leaders and most powerful weaponry, it's possible that there were other methodsd.

On top of that you had the Border Legion of Callahorn guarding the city. Ultimately, the defenses are not breached through strength but by treachery. Spies within Tyrsis jam the locking mechanism to the city gates, allowing easy breaching by the vast army of the Warlock Lord. Only Shea destroying the Warlock Lord stopped the obliteration of the Border Legion and the conquest of Tyrsis.

Citadel City / int_e235270c	comment	Stellaris: The game lets you go the "planetary citadel" route if you build a lot of Strongholds or Fortresses on your worlds. Indeed, this is a great way to take advantage of a chokepoint in the galaxy's Hyperspace Lanes - the FTL Inhibitors technology means that hostile fleets won't be able to move past a system with at least one active planetary Fortress, so building multiple Fortresses on a planet, combined with a Planetary Shield Generator, means that an invading enemy will have to commit to a long planetary bombardment or grueling invasion to neutralize your fortress world and move deeper into your space. A later update allows you to apply a designation to planets, with one being "fortress world". With this the aforementioned Fortress build quicker, the whole world takes less damage from bombardments and defensive armies are much stronger, which makes these planets an absolute nightmare to try and fight past. Just to rub salt in the wound you can create an artificial habitat in any system in your empire with a celestial body and give it this designation, allowing you to lock-down hyperlanes at will, rather then hoping the game generates planets in good positions.

The design is similar to that of Riva, with each building capable of acting as a fortified outpost on its own and every street designed so that defenders could ambush invaders every few hundred yards. As a last resort, the city is equipped with a Self-Destruct Mechanism to blow the entire place (invading army included), providing a distraction while the inhabitants escape through tunnels. Armengar's sister city Sar-Sargoth (Argmengar's original name was Sar-Isbandia), the moredhel capital, was presumably designed on a similar model, but that city was never attacked at any point in the series.
