Dismantle forts at the negotiating table

[Johan]

Evil!

This would ruin nations. You'd dismantle all their expensive forts and any neighbour can now full cap them in a year or less.

Would also need to be outright banned in MP.

I'd stabhit for dismantling key-forts, and then trucebreak as soon as my armies are un-exiled..

Their maintenance should be lowered by at least 50%. Everyone knows that.

Everyone? in the late game the bigget complain is how people carpet their countries in lvl 8 forts, making wars insanley slow.

Then fix that by telling the AI not to place a fort on every island they own just to troll the player. Forts are too expensive to be good, but the AI doesn't realise that, resulting in the AI having many more forts than the player.

I was talking from a multiplayer perspective.

In my opinion and experience. Level 8 forts are way too cheap, and as a player you place them everywhere.

 

[Johan]

1 lvl 8 fort has the same price in maintenance as half of standing army (20k infantry) of smaller nation, assuming they don't have any discounts.

When you reach lvl 8 forts there are no smaller nations on the map in MP, and anyone below 200k standing army is irrelevant as a military power.

Could you guys at least de-tach fort level and maintenance in the game files? If you nerf forts to 2/3/4/5 you nerf their maintenance which in turn makes it easier to fort spam....

Like a seperate maintenance cost set in the building?
