Build times

Does having your fort-building commander get magically sniped really lose your investment?
I know losing the province does and I know you can swap out which commander is building, but I don't think I've ever lost a commander. Or even stopped him for a turn.
Easy enough to test, I suppose, but I don't have the game in front of me.

I believe you lose the fort if there's nobody with a build order in the province for a full turn. I might be talking out of my arse though, I don't think it's ever come up.

Hold on, what am I talking about, it's a really quick check.

Huh, what do you know, I was wrong. Started a fort, moved the commander away, moved him back and he could still finish construction. So there's really no point in doubling up on building after all.
