5139 Soldiers Fort with dungeon treasure

You've given me a better reason to get it now, Atto, since I now know it is historically accurate!

A stupid  question do you think i could use my two light houses in my mediaval set up on the shores as the two points/gates of the port

Historically, I have no idea 

But I think it would look GREAT! (are you trying to get me in trouble? )

i researched some pics of medieval light houses.... they really don't look too different, but most of them seem to be six-sided flat walls instead of round ones.  The playmo lighthouse does have medieval-ish masonry and the little slits that seem like they were meant to shoot arrows through.  And then the attached fort portion of the lighthouse does look very castle-ish IMO, so I think you can get away with it.  To try to tie this back to on topic, the new 5139 fort also looks sort of castle-ish and might possibly be integrated into a medieval setup from the looks of it.

But both are impossible to REALLY connect to other stuff right?

Thanks for the very useful info !!!! I think the 5139 is too tiny to do much with it to be honest , does look good but ratehr unrealistic for a small fort , too small if you ask me .

Correct.

They used light houses all through history at large ports. Take the Lighthouse of Alexandria, for instance.

Yes, but lighthouses in Classic (Mesopothanian/Egyptian/Greek/Roman...) history or in Medieval times (*) were a lot different.
Medieval ones usually were some kind of flat-topped towers, with just a pile of wood burning on top.

(*):personally, I like to consider the end of the Middle Ages and the starting point of the Renaissance to be the "official" discovery of the Americas in 1492, though historians probably use a different moment
