Nice work mate. Especially the forts south of Gondor (north of Harad ) can prove a great aid in blocking the Haradrim in the early game.

A friendly warning though; from what I've heard (and seen myself) the AI behaves poorly when it comes to forts and pathfinding - especially at the Misty Mountains area, your forts may prove to be the cause for extreme "traffic" problems.

Other than that, again, nice work

[kai]

I think more forts is a good idea but you seem to have gone a little bit OTT for my tastes Either way I might try it and see if it plays well.

[Beorn]

OMG OMG OMG OMG

ok, add forts, but NINETY??? I'll install it though! (none shall pass from Cair Andros...)

[steroid]

You're mod is an excellent idea! I like to see Mordor and Mirkwood protect by defense.
But you must propose a version without money extand.
edit: great :p

[Clemci]

Thanks, all :p

Beorn of Carrock: You've first to take one of the three forts, then the blood can flood the field!

steroid: I'll do.

[fluffstalker]

I think its keeping in lore- they could represent the numerous forts built in ages past but no longer used- perhaps the armies now restore them for use in the War of the Ring?

Of course, the only problem is that the AI doesnt seem to like to use forts. In fact Ive never seen the AI using them before. Anyone see this?

[Kiljaden]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but forts have an upkeep cost do they not? Like watchtowers have an upkeep cost of 200\turn. If so, is that why you increased the King's Purse so much?

[JonSnow]

They do actually, but they often just sit there like retards... also this looks like it'd be a real siege fest... I prefer open field battles so no thanks, good work though...

[Clemci]

They don't often use it, but OOMM sometimes.
Maybe using XAI, Bad's or Darth's one, it can be resolved.

Filefront servers are full, later I'll upload the "no money added" version. You can start counting your bean, mates!

Edit: I've increased the King's purse to "speed up" the game (I can't bear 100 turns of economic development)
I think forts have no upkeep cost, but they can upkeep 3 formations for free.

[fluffstalker]

Yeah Ive noticed this Snow. Passive AI sighz..

If you can get the AI to consistently garrison forts and cities well and make invading their territories a slog through hell Ill dl it. As far as I know though I dont think Darth and PB have fixed the campaign AI yet, I think that BAI is more easily moddable, apparently some Kingdoms AI is hardcoded to be retarded and thats why we have garrison scripts.

[Clemci]

Well, but I'm totaly ignorant on the AI!

Now: FortsMiniMod, No money added!

Wait wait, watchtowers have upkeep? 200 per turn? Is this true?

[Beregond]

Interesting submod

though aren't some of the forts situated too far from the fords?for exaple looking at screenshots of South Gondor,I think that those won't prevent armies from crossing rivers...sorry if I'm not right

[Metallistic]

Cool mod, but simply too much forts.

[Garet Jax]

Wait wait, watchtowers have upkeep? 200 per turn? Is this true?

I dont believe this is true, I was under the impression it was a one time fee...I coat the map with watch towers so i can see everything and my economy doesnt seem to take a hit from this, although I could be wrong. If I am wrong about the upkeep I can assure you it is not 200 per turn.

[aduellist]

Wait wait, watchtowers have upkeep? 200 per turn? Is this true?

No, it's not true. They cost 200 to build. There is no "upkeep" for watch towers or forts. Forts to have three free upkeep slots, though. So forts become a potential help economically. Using a fort to "garage" three high upkeep units when not on campaign will relieve you fo their upkep cost as long as they're parked there.

[Kiljaden]

No, it's not true. They cost 200 to build. There is no "upkeep" for watch towers or forts.

Ah ha, yes I was totally wrong there. I had misinterpreted the financial window. My bad

[chriswhite]

Is there any mod that allows you to build forts in the same way as watchtowers?

Dont worry I figured it out.

[waraelm]

hi does anyone know how you make to possible to be able to make forts be buildable like watch towers??
