Protecting My Outpost

[HalfLotus]

I hope Civ3 has lots of outposts.

Outpost?
Out, post!
What's this post about, host?
It has less clout than most.
May as well be about ghosts.
About as tasty as kraut on toast.
Time to make this lout pout, host!

Yeah, dig it daddy-o

I hope there are lots of ways to protect my outpost in Civ3.

You can protect outposts 3 ways:

1. Put a defensive force inside/on top of the colony
2. Proactive - Put a (many) roaming attack unit outside the colony and kill any units that go near it.
3. Diplomatic - If you dont have any enemies, your outpost wont be attacked (by other civs, anyway)

Now that thats settled, LET THIS THREAD DIE ALREADY!!!

But I wanted 4 different ways to PROTECT MY OUTPOST.

But one of the problems I always had with building fortresses was the possibility of enemy forces taking them over, and using them against me.

Well, obviously it's too late but perhaps fortresses could be automatically destroyed whenever an enemy enters the square . . . unless, of course, it was empty to begin with.

If I had some sort of neuronic device that could reach through your computer screen and prevent you from ever posting here again, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Why? At first I thought you were joking but then the venom kept coming. Why not just ignore the thread?
