What starting position can you choose?

After joining a fort battle, you'll be shown the pre-battle screen, where you can choose your starting and target positions.
While this is optional, it’s highly recommended, as the default behavior randomly selects a starting location and moves attackers toward the flag.

Attackers can only choose starting positions in the red area (around the map’s edges), while defenders can only select positions in the blue area (inside the fort).
To select a position, click once for the starting location and again for the target location.
These can be adjusted later by clicking and dragging the markers.

Once the battle begins, if two players select the same starting position, one will be moved to the nearest available spot.
Priority is given to players from the attacking or defending alliances; otherwise, the first player to select the position will keep it.
