Lately I have been doing some reading in regards to Medieval History. I noticed that fortifications provided a serious advantage to the defenses of several kingdoms through England and east(Germany)and west(France) Francia (900s - 1000s).
Typically, I place my fortifications in a style the seems opposite of historical commonsense. This got me to thinking what do other people do...
Do you have a predetermined plan for fortifications based on what troop types or strategic units you mobilize? Are these fortifications along kingdom borders? What types of fortifications do you build for different situations?
How do you level up your fortifications? Do you build the different types of fortifications before populating the fortifications with buildings?
Also... do you protect your fortifications at all cost? Do you always garrison your fortifications? Do you have armies located in the same providence as your fortifications on a common basis?
When being on the offensive do you raid enemy provinces with the sole purpose of tearing down there fortifications if low on man power to garrison the captured fortification?
