when should you build a new fortress?

No. They do get spear and shield infantry, but they don't get longbowmen for the first 19. Instead they get millitia and slingers. The millitia have a moral of 8 and are as bad as millitia usually are. The slingers are even worse with a moral of 7. The book is slightly incorrect about what you get. It should read as follows:

Commander at def 1: Castellan
Units at def 1+: Spearmen, Millia, Slinger
Commander at def 20: Judge
Units at def 20+: Longbowmen, Tower Guard

Note: The tower guard you get is the version from MA Man, which is an inferior unit as it doesn't have a crossbow and uses a regular shield instead of the kite shield.

So, my point still stands. LA Man has terrible PD. They are better off using a castle instead.
