Fortress in Civ 5

[Beatie]

So far I never heard anything sad about Fortresses. I tought about it, that i can be realy intresting if they (still) behave like city's. So if you can put multiple units into a Fortress. It will make Fortress a very very importand land improvement. I personal liked the Fortress in call to power. If you build a Fortress to your civ's border, you get some land arround the Fortress. You have to build the Fortress on you own land. I don't know if they use that in CIV 5, but to be able to put more units into a Fortress will be very intresting now, because of the one unit for each tile now.

So, I have to wait until friday to play Civ 5 (europe) perhaps my friends in the states can bring some light about this subject!

You can not put multiple units into city.
I think strategic values of the fortress is larger than in Civ IV, where you can simply go around fortress. Here you have ranged units and ZOC, that makes ranged unit in fortress very powerful (I assume it increases attack value of ranged unit)

Thx for the quick answer. I didn't know that you cannot build multiple units into a city. So you have to move out every unit that you build ehh? But it does seems that fortresses get more importand like i want! The more importand the fortresses are the better. If your worried about your borders, just build a few well placed fortresses in put ranged units, and attack units into them, en they can cover 4 tiles between them I think. (right?) I mean that if you place 2 fortresses with 4 tiles in between the ranged units can cover 2 (2+2=4).
