2) Just because they can make the city fly, doesn't mean they need to or should. Shure they have the resources and tech to keep it flying, but if it's just in the same place, only higher, then there's not much point.

3) As for the fortress city part, all I saw were shield towers. That alone isn't enough to count as a proper fortress city. A fortified city yes, but not a true fortress. That would require actual emplacements, sensor networks and passive defences that will alway be there until they're broken. 1) Even in her own home, the temperature was cold enough to freeze the entire fountain. She still would've had to adapt to the cold as she grew, being "spoiled and rich" doesn't actually change anything, or at most not enough to matter. 2) It heavily limits the sort of Grimm that can even approach Atlas, let alone be a threat. That alone is quite the advantage, especially compared to Vale's "mountain range located myriads of miles away from the city". 3) Well, reading up a bit, there is no exact standard for what a fortress city actually is. Definitions I've found are: >Heavily fortified city, whether it's thanks to military force, defensive structures or natural defenses. >City built inside a fortress's walls. >City designed to be a good defensive position instead of an economic one. >City that is primarily militaristic and/or controlled by the military. By some definitions, Atlas would definitely be a fortress city.
