Default Idea: Blocks/Fort-template

Hi all

I had a nice idea today, hope you share my excitement.
Source Forts is really nice and makes a lot of fun. But, how long? Sure, each match is different, but after about half a year, it may become boring, building always the same ground-construction with walls, etc.
My suggestion:
1. Server-admins can turn on/off some default-forts on several maps. So the builders can extend/enlarge the defense without spending the first build-phase with blocking all possible entries. This would make the matches faster but still unique.
2. 2 or more builders can carry one big defense-construction-set, containing various blocks. Maybe a long wall or a high tower could be deployed faster.

I think, this changes wouldn't affect matches with many builders, but on low-player-server it would double the entertainment

The first idea isn't terrible. Blocks are used almost exclusively to keep the enemy out, and so things end up rather basic, but hey, what can you do with 35 blocks? If basic walls could be set up by the mapper, then leaving the teams to build off of that could lead to more enjoyable, more extravagant bases. Perhaps make the built-in blocks grey, and un-unfreezable, only destroyable? It actually sounds pretty nice to me.

I thought there already was a pre-built fort plugin or something.
