Forts? How?

**Gaius Sempronius Gracchus** · 07-12-2010, 19:46

I've looked and looked through the forums, I've searched through the menus etc. in the game; perhaps I'm just stupid but..... how do you build forts?

Well it's simple... Click on an army led by a Family member, click the bulding button, in the low right corner i think - you can choose to build a fort or a watchtower

And as an added bonus, they are free in EB, though watchtowers are not

too bad, that was actually a well exploited exploit in the campaign, 1 fort filled with almost depleted pantodapoi placed on the caucasus gap will hold Hayasdan for attacking my pontos empire almost forever

Pantodapoi are one of the worst units in the game. They die like flies to arrows.

Speaking of watchtowers, is anyone else annoyed by the fact that they cannot be destroyed? I'm sure there is a command to remove them or something i do not know of, but i can't count the number of times i wanted to build a fort in a nice strategic position, only to be denied by an invincible watchtower occupying that space on the grid.

They can be destroyed. All you need is the right tools of demolition.
