Forts

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Does the AI ever build forts? I mean, I don't think I've seen it done once.

I had a game where Getai and Sweboz bordered eachother and then both built forts along their short border and sat their with full armies waiting for the other to move. Also Getai had two forts along my border, waiting for me to leave a border town defensless.

I was once travelling to Mrogbonna with a Roman Legatus to hire some mercenarys. In the hostile country, I always ended the turn in a fort. When I moved on, one of their armies marched into my abandoned fort and had a comfortable stay their for about two or three turns I think. As I had hired enough mercenaries, I made my way home the same way. Just before I arrived at the site of my previous fort, AI was so friendly and left it again, so I had a home the next turn. That's what I call efficiency.

Wow. Maybe it varies from computer to computer, but in the dozens of campaigns I've played, I've can't say I remember the AI building any forts.

Some of your stories are awesome, though, and I'd really like to see that sort of thing as I continue to play through .80. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I was playing an older release.
