Default Re: Why build Fortresses?

Another good point is that for large maps it gives you a front-line location to build giants in.

TIP: In multiplayer games a castle can be used as a way to allow an ally to move thru your territory. It allows you park your army in the castle and allow a friend to take the province and pass thru. With coordination it allows one player to provide a defensive fallback line while the other builds and sends out attack armies
