This is a small prototype built in 1-2 hours:
The Trojan should spawn at the gate in the middle of the prison.
Good/bad idea? Tell me what you think about it
Another spawn point for the Trojan

The current spawn point of the Trojan is pretty boring, he just spawns at the "basement passage" in the middle of the map... so why not something more interesting like a prison?

hmm so he would prison break his way out! awesome 
Where would the prison be located? It shouldn't take him more then a few seconds to get out of it, what would make it more exciting then just looks if anything? Either way, I like how it looks so far =]

Thanks
I think it should be somewhere in the fortress, near the new "generator room", which is located in Boberto's Hangout. It would be cool if the Trojan could only escape when the generator is destroyed (which happenes after 60min?)

That looks real neat!
*Calls Nevo*
Nevo look at this! Looks awesome doesn't it. Let's do it!
Then the attackers' reason for attacking can be to try to overwhelm the fortress and break the Trojan out.
What normal survivors are doing in the middle of this, I dunno!
Wait, they build an entire base out of nowhere, they can't be normal!
Anyways, we are probably avoiding cliffs due to pathing but there's a much better way to do smoother terrain. Using raise/lower heights, plateaus, and smooth. It can easily artifically create cliffs, ramps, elevation levels, etc. Sight & pathing blockers are used where there are sudden increase/decrease in terrain height. So Nevo, Zer0o's ideas could work if we used that.

I'll try to use the new technique for the prison, I'm gonna post new screens in a few days. PN me if you want to have the map

I think this is an amazing idea, lets try to add it in with what Niwa posted.

I avoided the normal cliffs and built with path-blockers and plateaus, this is the result (It's faster to build a new one instead of upgrading the old one):
I added a generator and towers. The towers and the gates will explode if the generator gets destroyed.
I suggest that some units enter the prison through the water after 40-45min and destroy the generator so the Trojan gets out:
Good/bad? Tell me what I should add/remove

seems like a good layout. looks like we will have to lose a corner for it to realy work tho cause it LOOKS huge for the side of FS, that or an area twice the size of the courtyard in the fort its self lol. my semi idea tho is yes the generator the Towers invuln gate leading in (so mobs cant just walk in. unless it will be the NPC unique wall with like 60 base armor and repairmen to keep it alive vs mobs with a few towers to slowely pick em off + troops but trojan is inside and allready visable but invulon untill the ambush from the water? so it looks like hes realy imprissioned not just appears from i guess that magic gate at the other place, cause if we are building a prision he should be visable in it so people get it and it looks more real for the fort, cause the mobs are coming from underground allready, if he was underground they coulda just tunneled him out instead of having to break him out

True, but how do you want him to be visible? The Trojan-model is like 5 times bigger than the normal model so a normal cage would be too small. Another problem is that the Trojan always has his axe equipped so it would look strange.
The prison is 1,5 the size of the courtyard. It would look unrealistic in my opinion if it would be just the cage and some walls+towers.

Wow!! You put a lot of effort into this. I certainly think it would make a great addition to the game. I think it's too big to fit anywhere without destroying 2 or so big rooms or removing top left and placing it there.
