Awesome, will they have free upkeep for garrisons?

[_Tartaros_]

yes i think so. atm they have 3 or 4 for free.
(But you can easily edit this feature by yourself )

[paleologos]

How many PSF will you be placing? I imagine they will be concentrated in certain areas?

What's "PSF"?

[BarnicleBill1]

A permanent stone fort

[NikeBG]

How many PSF will you be placing? I imagine they will be concentrated in certain areas?

I think the maximum is 4 per province (usually less, depends on the region, some might not even have any), though I've had one province (Avlona) which historically needed at least 5. It was really hard to choose which should stay and which not.

[BarnicleBill1]

I think four would be pretty good, to many and you just end up in a weird fort to fort jump around the map.

[paleologos]

Forgive me for asking this here but are PSFs the same as the stone forts generals can build?
And do they generate any income?

[hyretic]

Don't a general generate a negative income?
-better and more eat
-better and more alcohol
-better and more partys
-many and beautifull chicks, ähm women

I was asking about the forts, not the generals.

1st: I am sorry of my inactiveness... I was in a hospital for me and my mother the last time.
Its a quite dificult year for me...
2nd: Lets answer some questions.
Q: Are there permanent stone forts in the game and how many are they?
A: Yes there are. Each province may have from 2 up to 4 such forts. They all represent other cities in their areas that game limitation does not allow us to have in game!
DotS managed to give them many advandages but in TGC we primarily interest in their existance.
In the end all those forts will share town strat_map and battle map models.
They will have 5 units free upkeep that will allow smaller faction players to save some money before they will reach the economy level up to a point!
Why 5 ? In my game tests 5 units are the minimum number of them that can defend a settlement with some chanches of success!
Two archersor javelinmen, tow melee infantry and a spear infantry behind the gate or a cavalry one to charge to siege engines , according to each player's favorite game play!
Q: Why TGC does not primarily interests in more PSFs abillities.
A: 1st because we would like to have a release some day!
2nd : Because the greater factions already have too many settlements that generate income! More income from douzens of PSFs would be unfair for the smaller factions.

[BarnicleBill1]

Thank you for the answer, and don't worry about being inactive. I hope things start to look up!

[Reno Melitensis]

Now that EBII has been released, this mod is the only total war experience that I am waiting for.

Since I refuse to play anything beyond Medieval II total war(after trying and hating them all of course), this mod will probably be my last total war experience.

Best regards and take your time

[Ser Gareth]

Thank you Anthonius, but you don't owe us anything... We all owe you a huge debt for the work that you've put into this mod so that others can enjoy it.
