Fortresses

[History_Buff]

How does every one feel about the new aspect of fortresses and coastal fortresses. I think that the "shoot while they pass" idea is something that someone should have thought of a long time ago.

Thoughts on this?

I guess it's necessary to add opportunity fire, with the elimination (I gather) of Zones of Control - otherwise what use would fortresses be??

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I like the idea a lot! It makes things far more realistic IMO. What I want to know is what kind of range do these structures have? Can it be increased depending on map placement (ie. mountains)?
I think probably forts depend on what kind of unit is inside for range, but what about coastal fortresses in cities?

That sounds great to me, I always wanted to make forts and all on the others. Like others have said they should have to that a long time ago. Tell will be fun to take out....yeah tanks! :tank:

I think it's an excellent feature Certainly a way of protecting your precious coastlines without building hoards of ships (and funding them )

now, it's only a matter of getting the game that's the problem
