stone forts

Wow, I did not know that there could be multiple stone fort styles! Nice.

Personally, I would like to see stone forts used very sparingly, since (as Ca Putt mentioned) they mean less field battles and more sieges. I greatly prefer field battles.

Nice indeed, I presume this is dealt with via the culture, or not?

Something not used in The brittania campaign, for obvious reasons^^

i guess my great wall of the north strategy is doomed by this :\

Has it been confirmed that Permanent Stone Forts and the regular forts cannot be used in the same game/mod?

Jah, well, some fort maps should not contain towns since a lot of battles were fought outside the towns...

I'm not very pleased by this. Minor cities were not very often places which could be defended successfully. On the other hand field fortifications and temporary fortified camps played an important role in many conflicts. Only remember the Pyrrhos campaigns. And I would prefer to be able to build my own border defenses. I played M2:TW mods with permanent castles and I really did not like it, the castles were next to useless.

PSFs won't be useless especially if they provide some income. They can be a good way to prevent the player from blitzing the AI's main cities, as well. Also, temporary forts are not very accurate for most factions and are very romano-centric.

PSFs will represent other cities in the region, this does not necessarily mean they will be minor settlements, in fact in many cases they were bigger than the regional capitals and important places in their own right.
