[R&F] Forts

[Spartacus73]

Does anyone build them? How often? I almost never do as I don’t want to waste a workable tile, and by the time my borders get past that the forts seem to have past their usefulness.

Seems like one big improvement would be the ability to build them outside of your tiles, with some limitation so you couldn’t go crazy with them. Maybe 3 tiles apart?

Or maybe I’m missing something with their current usefulness or functionality?

I thought you could already build them outside your tiles?

I could swear I’ve tried that before and it wouldn’t let me, but maybe I was doing something wrong.

For people that use them, what are your thoughts? Is the cost worth it? Do you get them at a good time in the game or should they come earlier? Do you regularly use them in a way that has a noticable impact on the game?

There’s a good discussion here.

Thanks! That thread pretty much affirms my thoughts.
