    forts are ideal to defend stationary borders with the fewest number of men and costs.

    In this game they do restrict the movements of your best armies, but in real life the Romans used them to great effect, read casear in gaul.

    Forts are indispensible. Try playing RTR as Gaul when you are attacked from all sides (Britons/Germans/Dacia/Romans/Iberia/Carthage), being able to block or slow down attacks is critical to the defense of Gaul.

    Even in RTW 1.1 the ai seiged my forts and sometimes took them
    though I then usually seiged them back when my armies had time to arrive. But the critical thing was I never lost a city. Looking forward to see how much ai has changed in RTW 1.2( RTR 5.0 works with RTW 1.2 though I've yet to push it far)
    Such is life- Ned Kelly -his last words just before he was hanged.
