Mir Linear Rings - These are bastion efficient from the outside but are vulnerable to ring skipping. They are space optimised.
Rose Grid: A competing school of Bastion layout in Hjaltland, developed by SoulComplex and Servalclaw of Rosewall following the demise of Civcraft 2.0. and maybe a distant cousin of Mir's layout. At the beginning of CivClassic it was intended that Cola Cubes Vs. Rose Grid rivalry be reconciled by having two different vaults. However after the Lexington War ended the HjaltVault was rebuilt with a variant of the Rose Grid.
Curved Rings - These are neither bastion efficient or fully space optimised. It depends on the particular implementation. The advantage they do have is they provide an awkwardly shaped field for a skybridge to break. However, it is possible to determine the exact placement of the minimum number of bastions as each corner in the curve must be the corner of a bastion field. Effectively the classic nerd ring shape created by Diet_Cola during Civcraft 2.0.
Vaults outside the Lexington/Anguish/FRIENDS sphere of influence tend to use some take on linear rings. See: Coventhia, Yoahtl, etc. (Coventhia was originally a curved ring vault before Hjaltland shared some Bastion grid technology, and Yoahtl is a more primitive Rose Grid.)
