    Default stone forts

    well dear ebII team, lets talk a bit about stone forts
    i guess by now most of you have seen dominion of the swords way to arrange stone forts on the map
    in MASSIVE number and as a substitute for smaller cities
    while we all have not tried out yet if it really works, it at least appears! to be very good
    any plans doing something similar?
    here is one player who would love it (at least i guess so :D )
    Gott mit dir, dem Bayernvolke,
    Daß wir unsrer Väter wert,
    fest in Eintracht und in Friede
    bauen unseres Glückes Herd;
    Daß der Freund da Hilfe finde,
    Wehrhaft uns der Gegner schau,
    Wo die Rauten-Banner wehen,
    Unsre Farben – Weiß und Blau!

    IIRC they were discussing it, because you can't have permanent ones and non-permanent...
    I must say I can see pros for both: protection while marching or "mobile" border wall are very nice, but at the same time having forts representing minor cities and such is interesting aswell...

    IIRC the team has said that they will indeed use stone/permanent forts for representation of smaller cities. Don't quote me on that one though.

    We will use PSFs to represent important settlements, I don't think we will have quite as many as DotS though.

    So that means no more limes-type structures / removable border fortifications?

    So they are going to use the forts to represent towns like you wanted and that makes you sad.
    Why not feel happy that they are doing what you asked for...
