Since a fort is permanent in EB 2 I was wondering for fun, would you place your Forts at the strategic points or where city's would have been that couldn't be there, in the game? Like Thebes, Argos, and Elis.
What would your forts in EB2 be?

Re: What would your forts in EB2 be?
Actually ive come under the impression that we wont be able to have permanent forts. Instead the EB team will use them to represent imporatant cities which didnt make the cut. That will leave us with regular, impermanent forts.
Am I wrong?

Well my question still remains if you had the chance with permanant forts what would you make?

Recreate the fortress of Baradur located near an unstable volcano!

Re: What would your forts in EB2 be?
You can make permanent forts yourself. It is easy as hell, even in RTW engine. Just stick an agent, a diplomat, or better yet, a spy with large line of sight into an empty fort. It will never fade away as long as the agent is there.

Does this not belong in the EB II Forum?

Forts aren't much good as cities. And you can't name them.
It's better to just set them up as strong points along your borders. Or just as barriers to make sure that your cities or siege forces aren't being attacked constantly.

They give free upkeep slots AFAIK.

Zradha I know that, what I mean is for fun would you have these forts represent cities.

Re: What would your forts in EB2 be?
forts are great 2 well placed forts gives 3-4 turns time to react if someone tries to attack you from the balkans (or the other way around)
also puting them in river passes during war times goes a very long way to prevent surprise attacks and always gives you time to at least buy some mercs to punch up your city garrison if your closest army is still a long way to go
one of my favourites (besides barricading the alps when playing the romans) is to place them in the 2 passes beteween illirya and italy it helps to prevent the stupid over agressive ai

This is something that is being considered, although there are still several important drawbacks to solve before we commit to this feature.
