Whoa... an AI first...

[dexters]

Well, the AI may have built it in past games and I may have just missed it, but this is certainly the first time I've seen the AI build a fortress.

EDITl: GAME SPECS

REGENT
16 CIVS
HUGE MAP (160X160)

it does that sometimes at bottlenecks/resources it wants to protect.

they tend to build more military tile improvements in PtW

cheers

I saw the AI building fortress before (I play PTW). I used to see the AI building fortress on places, where I would build.

Especially, when the AI doesn't has a "good" relation to his neighbour it is trying to defend himself or ensure resources with fortresses.

I have never seen it, but I have just played a few (loooong) games since I got PtW.

[Kingof the Apes]

Ive seen the AI build fortresses, but only rarely. Usually its after I have knocked them around a little.

[bongo]

I have never seen it.

There have been very few situations where a fortress would make any sense AND the AI actually had the opportunity to build it. Fortresses are usually a border-kind of thing and pre-emptive building of border-fortresses are simply not an AI-force.

[Gen.Dragolen]

I have seen the AI make decent use of fortresses if it has a choke point to manage or has been bottled up for a while and the workers had finished all other improvements.

Now if only we could teach it to use some artillery to help defend it...

I don't ever recall an AI building a fortress either ..strange that..In ptw they build enough Radar sites but no fortresses.
