Permanent Stone Forts question

[Moros]

We need the reaction of an EB-team member here...

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.

i recall....militia units get free upkeep in those forts too right?

[miotas]

Any troops can get free upkeep, but only for a certain number, I think it's either 2 or 4 units. The most expensive troops in the fort are those that get the free upkeep.

we can give the garrison commander of fort movement penalty trait so at last there will be a permanent garrison but no idea this trait is compatible with kingdoms?

also can we name Stone fort like "County" "colony" as we can do in strat text file. So there would be like Propontis, Latium Colony / County etc.
pardon me for my ignorance, I have no info on kingdoms modding.

Also if the PSFs on resources/Merchants work as governor thing works and is implemented, it might actually give PSFs a purpose in the game besides a vanity sort of thing.

Perhaps we could make the merchant immobile once he reaches an empty stone fort. You just need ot find a way to expel/kill them.

I like that.

In Third Age TW the number of free upkeep troops is three.

No I just had a squiz at the britannia campaign and the garrison was only 2 units, so it must be changable.

Just a quick question about the psf's; are you going to use different models on the campaign map to represent how big the city is. DotS uses it to differ between castles and cities:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Note that there are only 8 cities, while the map looks very crowded with cities and castles.

Couldn't they add, like, 20 per province? Pretty please?
