Low walls seem like a good addition, for flavor's sake, if nothing else.

Vertical Bars would drain their full height, but a wall with an arrow slit, which is how I imagine fortifications, would probably also hold water to a certain height. So that attribute of low walls would apply to them too. So that makes the main difference between low walls and fortification, is that low walls are easier to fire over, and don't provide as much protection, especially if you're not directly behind them. But that's complex to model.

If fortifications are made better than low walls, I think they and full walls should use double resources. So low walls and floors would use one stone, but full walls and fortifications would use two.

I don't really think having different heights for low walls is worth it. Just make them always hold 3/7's of water, if anything.

I approve.

10/10 idea.

I'd have them hold 4/7s water so they could be used for swimming training and retaining enough water for aquatic creatures to survive in as well. 4/7s is tall enough to contain water that would allow swimming but not drowning, but short enough to climb over easily for any dwarf. Thus is makes the most sense.
