* The name "bulwark" literally means "beamwork" and originally designated city walls reinforced with wooden beams. The name "boulevard" comes from cities where bulwarks were dismantled to create broad streets in their place. The name "crownwork" designates a forward fortified position  which is separate from the main fort, and directly exposed to fire from it. Attackers who manage to breach into the crownwork and seize it will not be able to use it against the main fort.
