I personally have used Google Earth to evaluate the Golden Horde scenario. And the applied it to a military, results being the same.
To me, being in the hills is preferable to being on flat land.
To my East, 6 miles of rugged terrain to the nearest road that caused firefighters problems a couple years ago.
To my north, a 2500 ft ridge with a few fire roads but that is one of my escape routes 7 miles by fire road to a main road.
To my NW, I can see civilization 5 miles away. I have gone to land marks with my binoculars and can‘t see my buildings, even knowing where to look, I can’t see them.
To my direct West, the roughest terrain of all from the road 2.5 miles away.
My weak point, my road coming 3 miles up a canyon from the southwest. A pinch point cattle gate at my property line but my only cover is a big oak I call my killing tree. I get a lot of game there.
From this simplistic explanation, my defenses are targeted towards a mobil band. Keeping them on the road is key.
