If a province is surrounded by forts which have a combined admin > 100, it will have no resources left for itself and will no longer be able to recruit units or commanders. | * Forts unlock the full resource output of their province (provinces without forts only have half their true resources available), as well as drawing a percentage of the true resources of neighboring unforted provinces according to their admin value.

| A nation's summary screen will indicate what level and type of fort it is able to construct, albeit in a roundabout way. What "standard" forts means is dependent on the age. Nations that can construct "primitive" and "advanced" forts will be able to construct one tier lower or higher than what is standard, respectively. This is extremely significant where it means the nation gets one less CP per fort than the standard for their era (e.g. primitive default forts in the Early or Late Ages). [[rus ea | EA Rus]] is a notable exception in that its "primitive" forts follow their own upgrade path entirely. [[asphodel ma | MA Asphodel]] has the dubious honor of being the only nation with "very primitive" forts. | A nation's summary screen will indicate what level and type of fort it is able to construct, albeit in a roundabout way.

| ===== Ritual Forts ===== | ===== Ritual Forts ===== |
| |
| There are a number of [[rituals]] that can construct a fort in a single turn during the magic phase. These ritual forts will land before any movement-phase attacks and are therefore capable of immediately preventing the province from being taken without a siege, making ritual forts critical to many a mid- to late game throne rush. However, given the fact that all rituals occur in a random order, other rituals are capable of interrupting the casting of a ritual fort by killing the caster or taking the target province. | There are a number of [[rituals]] that can construct a fort in a single turn during the magic phase.

| Note that ritual forts cannot be cast on top of existing forts -- the fort must be demolished before a ritual can be used to replace it. | Note that ritual forts cannot be cast on top of existing forts -- the fort must be demolished before a ritual can be used to replace it. |
