To be fair I still haven't seen a hill fortress "in action", so you're a better judge than me on this.

Didn't I say I'd think twice before picking such a fortress without at least a bit of earth magic? Anyway I doubt we'll see as many fortresses in Doms 2 as we were used to in PPP, where you'd build them for economic reasons as much as for strategic ones. That's no more the case (a good thing IMO), now you build them for strategic reasons, and only if your income is high enough to build extra troops there. In small packed games, these cheap (in design points) 350 defense citadels are a bargain, if you don't expect to build any. In rich or big games, I'd pick a 300-450 gp castle any day (although I might want to go for high defense/low DP cost in site-rich games with an earth nation or pretender).
