Fortress

How does the Fortress work? I've got the manual and it doesn't explain it very well.

When a unit on the tile is attacked, they have 50% defense bonus, which makes it that much more likely to win a battle, or win it more easily. Basically gives the same bonus as city walls. If you upgrade it to a Barricade, it then bogs the movement down on that tile when crossing, and gives an additional 50% defense bonus. So if you have a unit next to the barricade, and take the path that goes through it. Instead of going 3 tiles, you only go 1; so the unit stops on the barricade tile, instead of continuing.

Do fortresses in friendly territory afford bonuses to enemy units on the same tile?

Yes.
