C0astal Fortress

[The Guardian]

This is a building I made from a screen shot taken from Empire Total Wars. Again this was done using PSP with a lot of pixel manipulation and coloring.

VERY Cool!

Thanks Gojira. This would probably be a nice mate with the starfort unit. (I think that was Pounder's starfort but I could be wrong.)

Nope, it was Wyrmshodow's Star Fort and you can get it here.

Looks great...! it would be nice to make a unit out of it, so the building could perhaps auto-produce it.

LOL Wyrm made a great Star Fort unit as I mentioned above. When I saw the pic of this fort, I immediately thought of Wyrm's unit and created this building from the pic I found to go with his unit.. I am thinking of putting it in my Napoleonic War scenario.

Are you sure no one made a screenshots from Empire Total War before you and may claim it as his art?

I also planned to use Wyrmshadow's fort, which is fine... But I wanted to give it a high defense, so it would laways have been "on top", and it hides the units inside the cities then...

So I have mixed feeling about it, ie having all the cities on the map just display the same fort.

Yes I have pondering that also Steph. In my pirates mad, I used some nice terrain graphics ( have check and see who made those, can't remember off the top of my head) and placed them NEXT to the cities I wanted to have forts. That was also before I found Wyrm's Star Fort. As I mentioned, when I found this graphic, I immediately thought about using it as a prerequesite for Wyrm's unit.

Like you said give it a high defense, 2 or 3 or evem 4 moves (immobile and ZOC amd Blitz for multiple attacks) that way you can keep the Attack strength low enough so it will sit on top. Problem I am having is how to introduce the unit. Preplace or give it a high build cost? If you preplace it you don't need the building as a prerequisite. If I use the building as a prerequisite, how do you insure that only one can be built in ea city?

I would like to hear your thoughts on that, or anyone elses for that matter.

I'm not sure where this graphic is from. I should have made a note, but I have over 350 gigs of art work and graphics on one of my external drives that I have gathered over the years thinking that '" Hmmmm that looks cool, maybe I can use that some time." hehehe

I was faced with the same problems in my Napoleonic scenario, but I couldn't find a satisfactory solution, so I abandonned the idea of the fort.

This info may help you making a decision. In all scenarios where I`ve met Fortress units ,they has been preset on the map.
Only a few scenarios has allowed me to build them in cities. What sucks ...
