So I am currently doing research as to were the best place to make a base is in 2026 Summer Survival. I’ll post what I already have and when I have some more stuff

What I have so far:

Helms deep: 6.5/10

Main chamber is good, lots of holes you’d have to plug up though..
Outer walls don’t necessarily matter
Enemies could scale the mountain and enter the keep from behind
Lots of good view points
Easily defendable if you have a lot of players
Players could mine into the keep
Glittering caves are ehh

Edoras: 3.2/10
Covers a large area
Hard to defend with a small amount of players
Can be set on fire
If enough players push, you could easily be defeated..


Mina’s Tirith: 4.6/10
Very steep
Players could build up if they wanted
The only defensive position that would be worth it is the tower and throne area

Okay, so I did some more searching. And found this island near Dol Amroth that is a pretty good place, if needed you could retreat to Dol Amroth or the nearby islands

(also a better photo of Helms Deep)

Also Orthanc is a very defendable position if your inside the tower and are stocked up on arrows. That way if someone attempts to build up, you can just shoot em off. Also you can drop TNT down on them. Also you can destroy the entire bottom half of the tower, that way they can’t get up.
