Directional fortification

[migkillertwo]

Here's an idea: when fortifying units, choose a direction against which to fortify. This would fortify against attacks coming from three different tiles, but not against the opposite three tiles.

I think it would add a small layer of tactics in battle without overwhelming the player.

Sounds alright. Might make spearman a bit more exciting to use

I don't get it.
What exactly would be the advantage of fortifying against attacks from just a couple of tiles?

It'd allow for flank attacks if the attacker maneuvered around the fortification.

I'm not sure the idea is really necessary though. I thought fortification kind of represented something like Roman marching camps that were defensible from all angles. The game already has a flanking bonus anyway.
