It Finally Happened ( Artificial Intelligence )

Usually I do LAN multiplayer games of Dominions_2... but during one of my single player games I actually witnessed one of the computer AIs build fortresses ! Now this is on the large Faerun, turn_100 and this AI owns almost half the map... but it did actually build two fortresses.
--This AI owns half the map because I was getting pounded by three other AIs in the beginning.--

I did astral window to verify it wasn't a magic site too. And these were two provinces which do not have any starting fortress.

** Unfortunately the poor location and zero magic sites indicates their was no logic or intelligent decision made for it to build these fortresses.

As the AI doesn't build fortresses, those are probably produced by an event.

Jipp,

i also think so, it happens quite often!

I never had an event build a fortress where no magic site exists within the province.

It happens quite a bit.

I must have terrible luck then... I've only acquired a castle-type from magic sites.

In "King of the Hill 2" an absolutly "offial game" with emor
turmoil 3 and unfortune 2 i got 1 province (with necromancers) in the "world" phytium and in the next the was a hillfortress suddenly in the same pro :-)

And so i had a very VERY strong outpost there. That was Uberluck�

Out of curiousity... what does the event say which gives the Fortress ??
maybe because I only play at Luck_1 is why I don't see this event.

It probably needs either Order or Production, too.

One says that a local Baron has built a fortress to protect him from the peasants who areacting agressively, other says building of a ring wall around the city has finally been completed (Fortified City!), and there might be third event too.

I can vouch for that. Some luck you had there.
Caused me to divert effort from the hill
