  • Fortresses and Zones of control

    Q: Could somebody explain the role of fortresses (and actually whole new concept of zones of control)?

    Manual says something like: "Unit in a fortress.... has ability to take free shots at passing units...". What does it exactly mean? Does it, for example, make sense to fortify Hopite (1/3/1) in a fortress or shall I rather fortify Archers or Longbowmen? In Civ2 well situated fortress with good defensive units in it often saved my nation - it seems that it does not seem to work this way now. Is there a strategy how to effectively protect border of my empire?

    You may guess - this is exactly how I lost my first game Wat used to be enough in Civ2 (couple of fortresses and defensive units blocking strategic points and access roads) obviously was not sufficient this time.

    I guess free shots mean that when your units have been fortified and an enemy unit passes by the fortified units can occasionally shoot the by-passing unit. This way you get an extra change to fire!

    So I think it's best to fortify any military unit, which has no other place to go to?
