Stone Forts

The Kingdoms version of SV will include buildable and permanent stone forts. Here's a little preview.

Campaign Map

Battle Map - Middle Eastern

Battle Map - North European

This is all still a work in progress, so the end result may vary.

Wow looks great!

You are one of the first to make them buildable I think.
Could these now be used to represent some important historic fortifications without using up a province slot now?

Exactly

I am thinking to make the buildable version very expensive, perhaps 10,000 or so. We want to avoid fort spamming, and make them highly prized.

I would go so far as to make them even 12000 to 15000. It would reflect its expense and the fact that a completely new fortification, such as a castle took up a huge percentage of the treasury. Also the expense would counter that it only takes a click of a button to make a castle fortification.

I was wondering if you would put in some forts as already on the campaign map at the start of the game. Obviously they would be few and far between and would only be done for the most important and historically significant ones but it would make sense that there would already be some stone forts at the beginning of the campaign built by previous rulers.

Yes, there will definitely be stone forts placed in the descr_strat. Since we are already maxed out in the number of provinces, we will use this to represent additional provinces. I am also addign them in the North Italian mountain passes, so the passes can be properly controlled.
