I have built the bulk of my fortress and am looking to expand. Currently my goals are to build a lighthouse, church, graveyard, and possibly a mini castle (though this is low priority) inside the walls of my town. I am most concerned with the northern area. So I am asking for your guys opinions on where to build these things. I am trying to make this town look as good as possible, so location is very important to me. Here is a picture of the fort in 3d to give you an idea how of the layout looks and also the map archive for it.

Dig out the moat so it surrounds the city, and not just the entrance. That'll make it look better.

No seaside fortress is complete without a harbour, drydocks and shipwright.
the lighthouse is a good idea too.

I had already planned to make the moat surround the walls and have docks. I didn't dig out the moat yet because I didn't want it to fill with trees and grass while I worked on everything else. I had thought about the dry docks, but the waves seemed like the would be a problem. I think that when I connect it to the ocean the waves would spill in over the flood gates and eventually flood the bottom. Which is why I am thinking of using the area for a large graveyard/church.

Every town needs a clocktower.

Then make an intracate maze of axels inside the tower.

Instead of a drydock do a slipdock.  The ship is built on dry land and then slides on rails/logs sideways into the water.  You could have a half built ship up on supports with some workshops and wood piles around.  Would look good if not functional...yet

How about a fairly large statue of a whale that has a water fountain built on the spout (so as to look like its pushing water out).  Powered by water pressure.
