Fort

The fort is the ultimate defensive building. It may only be shipped in a Wagon from the Home City.

Usage
Forts, whilst having impressive hitpoints and a great range, are expensive to repair and can only take on one target at a time, unlike the great Castles of old, which got massive volleys of arrows once loaded with archers. They are most often used as heavy ranged support when a player is committing to a defensive battle, as dedicated siege units (or masses of heavy melee eg Pikemen or Harlberdiers will make short work of one if it is left unattended. Also, since it is a special home-city shipment, you can't send for another one if yours is lost, unless you have extra cards (read: Vauban Fortress for the French) that allow you to do so.
