Un-removable forts?

you can only build forts in friendly territory.

This isn't exactly true, if your army is "dug in" in enemy territory you can build the lowest wooden fort structure outside of your territory.

Thanks for the correction...

Roman camps were usually dismantled when the army moves on, though the forts in RTW probably should have represented more permanent structures.

I haven't tried this myself, but my intuition would be that you might need a unit in the fort to dismantle it.

Unfortunatly no.

Even with a unit inside, the "destroy building" button remains grey. Stationing a genereal doesn't help either.

Unless there is some super-special-trick that I haven't found yet it does indeed look like forts are permanent

Perhaps you have to develop a technology that would let you take down that fort?!

Or call "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" team to destroy it.. they can do it within hours!

CA don't like deleting or removing. Hence why the forts always being there and unable to remove saved games (from within the application).

Yeah, I never understood the save game thing either. What about all those poor kids who don't know how to delete these save games in the hidden folder? They'll have GB's of their hard drive being eaten up.
