Default Re: Anyone use a Fortified City?

I would add the fortress to the usable castles. It´s almost as good as the castle, but costs 20 design points less.

I agree that the others are pretty useless. So how much should they cost, so that you would choose them?

I would see every castle as viable, if these changes to design point costs were made:
watchtower,mausoleum,fortress,castle,wizardtower unchanged.
hillfortress: -20 points
fortified city: 40 points
citadel: 40 points
dark citadel: -40 points
mountain citadel: -60 points

I´d probably still go with watchtowers in most games, but I might choose the negative point castles if you just need those few extra design points.
The citadel or fortified city would be a real alternative to the castle/fortress, if you want to have an high admin castles.

> But how can you even remotely claim to be one of the best players and yet play only a single race?

The same way that the best shot I know uses only Cheh-Zeh pistols. I did not say that I was unfamiliar with the other races, or that I could not play them. Some people, *cough* *cough* feel they need to prove something, so right now they are playing Abysia despite loving air nations. Me, I play for fun, and for me, fun in Dominions II is winning with Vanheim.

On the other hand, I am about to start a team game with randomized races, so I guess I will have to play something else. It will still be an air nation, even if I have to play the Marignon theme on a map that has no seas whatsoever.

> What happened to BF Ulm, which you used to play occasionally?

I realized how limited it was. I used to play Man too... and I dropped it for a completely different reason. I'm studying to be a Powergamer *cue pompous music*
