As Ctis the Hill fortress is fun too imo .
If you block the gate a bit with Mech men or similiar your 4 or 5 poison slinger towers do nice damage to almost all troops .
Then only the SCs are left and die maybe to your 2 or 3 skeleton spamming cheapo mages .
Ha! Only weenies hide behind walls. Real men use watchtowers, and even that
is only because they want to make sure that everyone can make it to the battle
in time. Can you imagine how Vanjarls would feel if they miss out on the
bloodletting, or how legionaries would feel about barbarians being slaughtered
without a Theurg's blessing?
The day I let walls do my fighting for me is the day I make a brick my prophet.

I wonder why every nation only gets one castle it is allowed to build. Imho it would be nice of you could choose as many of the given castles as you like, as long as you have the points to spend.
Fortified City for capitol, watch towers for border provinces. Sounds like real world, eh?
