This is an amazing fortress map, but could use a few minor adjustments. Namely, I noticed the wall immediately surrounding the citadel doesn't have any ramps leading to them; and it looks like the entrance through that wall could have a small gate. Also, that wall seems like it should connect with the leftmost wall of the fortress, but there's a barrier between them. Lastly, there are towers at the gates but no ability to pass through them or into them. All of these for a last ditch defense could work really well to add that much more life to the fortress.

I decided to look back on this older post and add some more ideas.
The fortress Wulfborg has gates with walkable, enclosed walls over them, which I've noticed helps a lot to a defence of the gates, since many times archers placed on the walls beside the gates aren't necessarily always in range. Adding this feature to Framsburg's gates would be a nice touch towards this end.
I've also noticed that inside the fortress, sometimes for the player in it troops will get stuck inside on the civilian structures when they spawn; and for battles inside it pathfinding is a nightmare due to how many civilian structures are around, on which both enemy and defending units will sometimes get stuck. As beautiful as the fortress is inside, performance would be improved if some of these structures could either be shifted around or removed entirely.
Lastly, the number of bridges on the map, while excellent for making chokepoint strategies happen, often cause maybe more problems than they're worth. So many times the bridges will glitch and not allow units to cross them, which in a map like this makes for severe problems, indeed, for all players involved. An alternative could be to replace them with, say, normal fords or something like it.
This is an amazing map and I hate to bring up so many issues! But I like it too much not to, either. Thanks for the amazing content!
