Military history

There isn't much info in the article about the military use of the fort - it mostly just talks about what's there now.

Looking at the tentative reconstruction picture, it looks like a fairly normal 14th century fort, with long curtain walls, turrets, a barbican, and a perhaps a keep. The article should have a description of it, and detail its construction.

That picture says it was "abandoned 1490", a date consistent with its utility being obviated by artillery. The article should explain when, and why.

The photo File:Ferozabad Panorama.jpg really doesn't look like a 14th century fort - it looks like an artillery fort from the following centuries, with small cannon ports defending a dry moat and larger casemates for larger guns.

Was it converted into an artillery fort, and if so when, and with what armament? -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 13:57, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
