Default Re: Q: How many Forts do you build? How many Templ

Usually I do the same as Meglobob. But occasionally I do vary from the rule.

For instance LA Atlantis - R'lyeh and Abysia are neighbors. Temples increase in value.

I often won't build a fort if I don't expect I can hold it against an enemy force for at least three turns. I've usually got a fairly hostile dominion (death and/or cold), and if I can keep them from controlling a nearby fort, then they're often suffering from -40% supply or worse. Keeping them from reinforcements is valuable as well...

In that case, I might build freestanding temples- I know that they don't increase upkeep, and they can't be a stolen investment, just a lost one.

If I'm in a peaceful research phase, or against a freespawn nation, I'll build temples instead of troops to keep my income high. I won't build everywhere, but five is 2000 gold. The same in troops would be 133 gold upkeep, and putting up a few spare fortresses to increase production _ capacity_, etc, etc. By building the temples and saving for fortresses, for oh, five turns, I save 666 gold that the same number of troops would have cost me in upkeep.

I really change quite a bit what I do, though.

I've also decided never to build border fortresses.
