Re: A newbie question about fortress defending
No. The enemy will either be able to breach the walls or it will not. One commander will not be able to put up much of a fight.
Just to clarify. The attacker will take the province (tax income) but not the castle (unitproduction, laboratory, temple and gem income). So a really nefarious opponent can send a very small force if you have no Provincial Defenders. Then he raises Tax levels to 200% which kills of population and generates a lot of unrest. That way he can disrupt your economy even if you can easily break the siege.
As far as I know a fortress is no barrier either. An enemy army can just break of the siege and go rampaging trough less protected areas around it.
In other words you should only invest in fortresses to protect location specific investments. A high yield in gems, a laboratory, a temple and many weak researchers are all worth protecting if their combined worth is larger than the cost of a new fortress. You can still summon units and transfer items while under siege so the researchers would not be completely defenceless if the enemy breaches the walls.
