Thanks for the advice on combined arms, cmaq. However, I hold your concern of losing garrisons in scorn. What's the value of a few lazy, conscripted peasants? Not much, I can tell you that, especially if they're foreign auxiliaries. Acceptable loss.

I use them alot, especially as the Romans. They are good for defense in enemy territory.
Playing as the Romanii I use them a lot, as a trip wire defense at chokepoints and a place to garrison my legions outside settlements and when I get Imperial reforms I will build serious frontier defences with them!

Hvil i fred HoreToreA man who casts no shadow has no soul.
It seems that every one playing as the Romans use forts more often than other players do. So do I as the Romans. I built forts in mountain passes, river crossings and at bridge heads, first to control the AI movment around my territory the second to protect conquered territories. Generally I like my forts to be permanent, even if no garrison is present, so I send a spy to occupy the fort.
Cheers.
