Oh, and BTW, with 1UPT, there is only a small garrison in a fort... not a full army!
Ok, another realism discussion. In real life a castle, fort, bunker or other defensive structure could be permanently garrisoned by a few dozen men. Lets say 100 for sake of simplicity. In real life, this is no big risk, because an army will not appear out of nowhere; the defender usually has enough time to bolster the garrison.
Forts require Engineering, which is a medieval tech. How many units will you have in the medieval era? Nobody knows, lets say it is a whopping 50 units. So the 1 unit garrisoned in the fort represents 1/50 of your whole medieval military.
This is by no means a "small garrison". Historically, I wonder how many men 1/50 of all Chinese medieval troops would approximately be. For modern times, I don't see how the USA would put 1/50 or 1/100 of their troops in a single fort. Packed like sardines in a can
