Did everyone see that fort that had the stone walls?
Is that in IJV3? If not, which mod is it in, and how hard can it be to copy the files across and wse it in IJ??
Also please tell me that this idea makes more sense than my other one!!

I think they are going to be in the IBRRV8.0 mod. I also think that stone forts existed in SPQR. I'll see if i can find them. The only problem with the stone forts is that unless occupied, forts dissappear within 1 turn. They are also used as camps for armies on the move.

Unfortunately we can't have both.

Yeah, that would be a problem, but, as the Romans, I usually never abandon my forts, until phase 2, where I have dealed with internal unrest, banished Christianity, and begin expanding, usually into Pictavia first, then europe, then persia.
At this time, the forts were more permanent, weren't they? As in, they were more of small cities than temporary encampments. Also, stone forts would entice the money-squeezed roman player to construct the limes rather than defend each city.

Valentinian I greatly expanded the number of Roman fortresses along the Rhine and Danube. This may have been based on him taking the advice of the anonymous author of the 'De Rebus Bellicis'. The system of 'mile forts' was created at this time and a large number of 'mile forts' was built in the East to defend against the Sasanids. Most forts in the West were along the Rhine/Danube frontiers, they had a cohort of border troops, usually from the old style Legiones. All the field armies were stationed in cities some distance from the borders.

I agree, and vote: Let's get stone forts!!

Stone forts are in Rome Medieval 3 mod....anyway i make large use of them, i like to delineate the limes. If stone forts will still be buildable as player wants so i would like to get them, if they must be already built at campaign start and players can't build anymore, in that case i don't want them.
