The Fortress is the final stage building in the castle line, and represents the pinnacle of medieval defense. It is required for many of the Level 5 buildings.
As a defensive structure, the Fortress is an improvement on the Citadel. It consists of an enclosed area with stone walls, arrow towers and a gate. 960 troops can be garrisoned in the Fortress (cavalry count as 2 men each).
Establishing a Fortress (or any building in the castle line) has some effect on the province happiness, but it is unclear how much as this is hardcoded.
The Fortress has a -40 magnetism value for mercenary recruitment.
TBD - Need to sort out fortress layout and defenses. gate, wall, tower hitpoints needed.
