We was just lucky to find a stone tower by skeletons, not that far from Hador's camp: fortified that one, placed a portal, nothing else: our main base is still in the meadows.
Nice thing, tho, the ground walls to protect yours there: I used that method, away from main base (as my server's owner tells they generate lag when lot of structures are around), to protect, from trolls and draugrs, pig pens or other structures I've around.

At least that is the concept. But then "A foul smell from the Swamp" should not have happened since only two base structures, a campfire and a portal, were present.

If that campfire wasn't Hador's one, are you sure Hador's don't count towards "player base" 3 structures?
