THATS what I am talking about!

I don't mind the fact that the walls are paper thin and there are barely any defenses. I don't mind getting peppered with arrows. I do mind the fact that there is no ditch surrounding my fort, and stakes would be nice. And I do mind the fact that the entire fort is full of tents and space-wasting stuff when I can't fit my army inside it. I also would like the option to escape from the fort and retreat from the battlefield, rather than being pinned to the fort and being forced to win under penalty of death if I lose on even a technicality, such as a draw, or losing the square while I retreat.

Forts should become more permanent over time, progressing all the way to a small stone castle.
