Stone Forts

I know.. 3.1 isnt suppose to have stone forts... Im not saying it SHOULD or anything like that... I just wanna be able to build some stone castles around middle earth. IF someone would be so kind to show me how to do such, I will be greatly in your debt.

Thanks.
Peace.

Change it to:

Code:

 <can_build_forts bool="true"/>

Then your generals can build forts from the same menu as watchtowers

It is save game compatible.

You can also edit how many free units you can have in the forts too in descr_strat, but it isn't save game compatible.

Ok thx... However... Are they stone forts or just forts?

I tried enabling stone forts some time ago and it didn't work well.

The AI built them everywhere blocking a lot of routes and causing the AI massive pathfinding issues.

ok, so it causes some pathfinding issues, thanks for the heads up, but i still wish to give it a try, can you tell me how you enabled stone forts in your game? thanks.
