Fortify combat Strength bonus is +3 +6

[peddroelm]

didn't find this anywhere so did a quick hotseat test.

did not have the patience to do a exhaustive test but :
-skipping turn will not provide auto fortification like it did in civ V
-takes "a while" [full action turn not disturbed? by enemy attacks] to get the +3 and then the +6 bonus so you need to be a bit proactive with the positioning and fortification orders ..

Confused a little by your post. I did tests before the patch.
If you move at all you get no fortification that turn.
If you specify to fortify then after a full turn you get +3 strength
If you stay fortifies for another full turn you get an additional +3 strength.

You must fortify to gain fortification bonus, just stopping does not provide it.

I think that's what you are saying. Cavalry can get a good bonus against fortified if they take the left promotion so in some cases you are worse off after a single turn of fortifying
