5.3.1 Building Fortresses
To build a fortress use the command "Build Production Sites" on the turn sheet, production site '21'.
Command: (Type)/(x)/(y)Type:Fill in type 21 for fortresses
x/y:Co-ordinate where the fortress is to be built.
Example:21 / 23 / 20
You have just fortified the barracks at 23 / 20
Preconditions:
-the co-ordinate must belong to your empire
-there must be a barracks or shipyard on that co-ordinate
-all required goods must be available in the respective national warehouse
A fortress is built in three stages: small, medium, and large fortress.
You cannot build a large fortress from scratch, but you must first build a barracks, then small fortress, then extend it to a medium fortress and then enlarge it to a large fortress, i.e. you will need four turns to build a large fortress. It is not possible to build a barracks and fortify it one level on the same month, unless you use production site 15 (see 2.8.5. p21)
