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.
