Are you trying to build forts around a city? Or trying to construct a fort using a general?

You need to have a general in your army, the gold to build the fort (1500 I think), and you cannot build forts everywhere you want. I've tried to build forts on Leeward and Windward before, but on some of those islands I just couldn't find a place to squeeze one in.

You need a general, 2k florins and enough room to do so. Also, no use planting a fort on an island since that'd be useless.

Also, mods like Darthmod have the option to disable forts alltogether.

Are you saying that you can not even build a city fort from the city drop down building options (usually starting at 4000 points each)?

Not actually useless, when Windward and Leeward being attacked every three to four turns, and I want to auto-resolve without risking the city, but whatever, legendary zinger bro. Just forget that the OP was talking specifically about building forts on islands, before it was edited, probably after you posted your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ comment, without knowing ♥♥♥♥ about ♥♥♥♥. There is no place on the map, that the computer spams attacks, where a fort could possibly be useless. That's exactly what they are for...

And here I read a thread about the AI never doing amphibious assaults. Next to that, if Windward and Leeward are attacked every 3-4 turns perhaps you should invest in a navy instead of a fort, you know. Why allow them the attack if you just can sink their transport?

There is hardly a way to make forts usefull since the AI will just walk around them. The only place that makes for a good fort location is Vienna-Budapest since Vienna is reinforced from Budapest in a battle and placing a fort in the region above allows you to reinforce both Vienna and Budapest from that fort. But to actually stop the AI? They just walk around it, like most players will do aswell.

Then again, I dont' know sh*t according to you.

Em... you do realize that there is such a thing as zone of control? Meaning, any army that wants to get past has to either move around or go through it, and subsequently fight the garrison. This is the whole purpose of forts; not necessarily being a complete barrier, but at least slowing down the enemy.

And like I said, the AI just walks around it, like any player would do.

You can't just walk past them in certain places. For instance on the border between Bengal and the region to its south the only way is through a narrow pass flanked by inaccessible mountainous terrain.

[Inardesco]

You can still walk past them. Send 1 unit to besiege and their zone of control is gone.
