    You should put them on resources(that look like towns and stuff) so it costs money if and enemy occupies the fort.

    If you stuck all resources under towns, you could use merchants like governors that you dispatch or something to govern the countryside. :) I'm not sure if they get auto-ejected if an enemy occupies your fort though... Then there's always the sniping that can occur between those guys so I guess its not such a great idea for merchants = governors.

    That's actually not a bad idea, antisocialmunky. I believe it's not possible for merchants to 'eliminate' eachother when one of them is in a settlement (or fort).

    Verdad! I don't even believe a merchant can enter an enemy (or ally, for that matter) fort/settlement. To the best of my knowledge, only spies (and assassins?) can enter an enemy settlement.
    "You must know, then, that there are two methods of fight, the one by law, the other by force: the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is therefore necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man.

    Merchants can do that. If oyu find one really expensive thing, you can build a fort on it and jsut stack tons of merchants in there.

    We're currently looking into PSF's and its possibilities. When we know what can be done, and what cannot, we'll make a decision on them. Then when we feel like it, we'll mention it in a preview or something.
