I have been playing this game for many years, and one thing has always bothered me. Who designs where the forts are placed? What drooling idiot determined their locations? Not on the strategic map, but on the battlefield level. I mean, I am no general, but why are the forts inevitably placed in a valley surrounded by steep hills? Even I could take a look at the lay of the land and choose better than the positioning of the forts in this game. Forts are at a huge disadvantage in this game. I have a besieged army right now that I simply cannot extricate from their doom. They are in a great position on the strategic map, cuting off the access across a mountain range, but in the battlefield there they sit in a valley, with an enemy army ahead of them on a hill, and another to the left flank. No matter what strategy I use, I lose massive casualties before I even get close to them. What general would choose this site to make a fort? Why not place it on the hill, giving strategic command of the area? It makes no sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!
