    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.

    (perhaps from an English Traditional, about 1700 AD)

    Drum, Kinder, seid lustig und allesamt bereit:
    Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner! Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
    (later chorus -containing a wrong regimental name for the Bayreuth-Dragoner (DR Nr. 5) - of the "Hohenfriedberger Marsch", reminiscense of a battle in 1745 AD, to the music perhaps of an earlier cuirassier march)

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

    So no more protection in the steppes I see.

    You can either have buildable, temporary forts, or non-buildable permanent forts. We've gone for the latter because we feel that it will provide better gameplay. People may disagree, however they are free to mod EBII when it is released. And I'm sure that they will.

    Thumbs up Re: What would your forts in EB2 be?

    Yep, Foot is correct. There is only one type of forts that can exist - that is the hardcode. So we must choose. And I could not agree more with the EB Team's choice. Plus, it will make the game harder. No longer will the player be able to have the comfort of walls. Too bad for us, the Romani infantry-lovers :P.

    hmm so no easy defend Massilia :( sounds as if a Koinon pan hellenon will be more challengeing to maintain in EB2^^

    Actually I liked the stone forts in the britannia campaign as they stood in the perfect distance between settlements and could be abused as safe points for troops shifting without a FM and were very welcome to store seige equipment in "pice" times.

    So, will there be spawned limes for the Romani? It was fun roleplaying that.
