question on forts

[Corinthian]

They will *only* fight the enemy if they are scripted to patrol!

Strangely enough, all magi sites are located inside the forts. The mages of dominions are a lazy bunch and cant be arsed to search wast swats of land. So they just look around a bit n the neighborhood on their morning walk instead and call it a day. This also means that your mages can still sitesearch (with quick buttons) if the fort is under siege and they are inside it. And any found site will still belong to you as long as the enemies have not captured the fort.
