    They give free upkeep slots AFAIK.

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

    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.

    Frankly, I don't understand the question. What does a permanence of a fort change? I use forts in EB as strongholds on my border since long and will hopefully be able to do so in EB II too. Or will this not be possible? Just put the 20 men or so rest of a cheap unit (after a fight) in a non-permanent fort or use a cheap total unit - it will also represent the necessary garrison without which no castle or fort ever would have made sense.

    Forts will not be buildable in the EBII campaign, just as they aren't in the britannia campaign in Kingdoms.
