Instead of those preplaced walls there are preplaced forts on the map
A couple additional forts on the map in the area of some historical fortifications
Added reduce city mechanics (to towns for example) on a given turn or event - could be useful for many UHVs

Livonian Order as barbs (Sword Brethen) in the area before the Prussian spawn
