Sorry to be posting so much stuff in the same day but I remember you used to be able to build forts wherever you pleased, even if it was in enemy territory or the middle of the great plains. I was sad to see them take this option away in one of the patches since then, because building forts all over the great plains and northern canada was the only way I knew of to colonize the area. Gave it sort of "fronteir of the empire" feel. Is it possible to make a mod to reestablish this feature?
