Suggestion: Give some fortress defenses to all cities

from Elemental Forums

New player, loving the game so far.

 

One thing I've noticed is that taking cities feels a bit easy to me, especially once i beat the initial big army the rest of the cities tend to fall like dominoes.

Right now, only fortresses can give themselves defensive structures. But if i could build the most basic ones (perhaps the hedge wall) it would give the city some defensive oomph.

technically, you are not meant to depend on your garrisons and must train some troops to add to it. But I do feel your pain.

I agree, but on the hardest difficulty settings, you rarely have enough money to park trained Units in cities like that.  I guess it is nice that there are "free" defenders at all, so that a lvl 1 wolf can't take your naked city... (but just about anything else can anyway).

I agree with this and have been saying it for good while now.

I would prefer being able to convert a fortress to be a town.   Many American cities started as forts when the country was expanding into Indian territory.  In Europe many cities grew around castles.

Personally I think it would be nice if conclaves and town got some sort of really basic city walls, which I'd suggest should unlock at city rank 3. Obviously they should be weaker than the fortress options and not have an upgrade path like the fortresses.
