Barricades

If you cannot afford to defend it, you are foolish to build it in the first place and are abusing the tool.

OTOH, you are foolish to think that the movement-stopping ability of barricades has any use whatsoever if you always keep every fort/barricade defended anyway.

It would be nice if the editor would allow us to make barricades a prerequisite of fortresses. That would allow for a WWI scenario where barricades could act like trenches.

I would like a more generic enhancement -- to be able to specify a 'prerequisite' terrain improvement so it would be easy to mod barricades to not require fortresses, nor forts to require barricades. Then you really could have a WWII mod with infantry building barricades/trenches...plus, you could then make super farms that require irrigated tiles first, etc.
