Breakdown

This build is made to deal with the strongest Forts. While being specialized against structures, it also features solutions to deal with the incoming ships defending Forts.

- Dardanelles vs Mons Meg:
The Dardanelles are the versatile solution, if you want balance between effectiveness against Fort and against ships aswell. As such, it's entirely viable to have a full Dardanelle built ship. However, they're also more difficult to obtain. 
The Mons Meg are THE anti-structure tool. They deal insanely high dammages to walls and towers, AND they are very easy to obtain in comparison. However, they lack efficiency against ships, so I'd recommend using them with anti-ships weapons.

- Quadrant: I strongly recommend to put structure-dedicated weapons on your broadside, as it allows you to stay mobile, circling around the Fort, while plundering it.

- Shalei: The good part is that Shalei benefits from Sloop's perks on explosive dammages, making them very viable anti-ship weapons. Equip them at front and rear. Dardanelles are a very viable option as well if you prefer optmizing bombard-related perks. 

- Leopold III: Simply the highest DPS mortar, coupled with the best anti-ship secundary dammages source. Goes well with Shalei if you equip them. Alternatively, you can equip Termites rocket: more versatile, but keep in mind that range is lower - Therefore, switch Kinkel's laboratory to Fatana's furniture.

- Furnitures: 
* Scoping Station: the great part is that it allows you to increase dammages while keeping safe distance from Fort defense (which are very dangerous): circle around at the Edge of the event limit, and you shall be safe.
* Menuiserie & Shell packing: must have
* Cie screens & raised quarterdecks: optimised to counter DMC's ships that heavily rely on flooding & AOE Leopold mortars.
Alternatively, you can adapt with more fitting furnitures if targeting Compagnie's Forts.
