Fortifying Tiles
Fortifying Tiles strengthens specific territory tiles on the map.
This is related to colony defense, but it is not the same as the general Fortify page.
[h2]What Tile Fortification Helps With</h2]
Fortified tiles may help:
- Hold territory against pressure.
- Make patrol or challenge outcomes safer.
- Support scouting routes or harvesting areas.
- Slow decay or make a tile feel more defensible where supported.
[h2]Builders and Materials</h2]
Fortification may require builders, materials, time, tools, or safe conditions. A sick, injured, exhausted, starving, dehydrated, dead, or busy builder may not be useful for the work.
[h2]Tile Context</h2]
Not every tile is equally worth fortifying. Consider:
- Distance from the colony.
- Nearby hostile or occupied tiles.
- Resource value.
- Travel routes and map chokepoints.
- How often the colony can actually patrol it.
[h2]Fortification Is Not Immortality</h2]
A fortified tile can still be challenged, neglected, damaged, or lost depending on system rules. Fortification helps. It does not weld the tile to the colony forever with magical moss staples.
