Can you reset forts?

[The Grim Squeaker]

Hi,

Got this mission in Athens where I was asked for three seals from Polemarchs which I can find in Spartan forts.

So I finally manage to get three, return and hew wants three more.

I get another three, at this point the forts are getting pretty hard to find because I found that if I do one that has already been completed I don't get a seal.

Take those back, he thanks me and asks for another three.

I understand that he asks for 15 in total.

Question is, I've run out of Forts, maybe some new ones to find but I'm short of nine.

So wondering if it is possible to reset forts that I have already found and completed

Never tried it, but I think if you do a conquest battle and side with sparta, forts should respawn polemarchs.

The polemarch will reset when the forts revert back to Spartan control. So you can get multiple Polemarchs from a single fort. You should have also got a quest in Sparta to take out Athenian Polemarches. If you get 15 for each (30 total) then it will trigger a special Conquest Battle on Marathon Beach in Attika, the only one in that region

There is a fort in northern Phokis I like to hit because if you approach from the east you'll find the Polemarch by himself and you can easily kill and loot him without having to do the entire fort. Hit it once a day and it's Spartans every other day and Athenians every other day and that alone will get you an armor piece per week from each of them

Thanks, yes you have confirmed what I found. This is what happens

Fort in Spartan control, never completed
Objectives show and you are awarded a seal when you kill the polemarch

Fort in Athenian control, never completed
Objectives show and you are not awarded a seal when you kill the polemarch

Fort in Spartan control, previously completed, you win a Spartan battle
Objectives do not show and you do not get a seal when you kill the polemarch

Fort in Athenian control, previously completed, you win a Spartan battle
Objectives do not show and you do get a seal when you kill the polemarch


So with previously completed forts this is what you need to do.
Find an Athenian territory.
Force a battle.
Side with Sparta.
Fort flips to Spartan control.
The fort will still show as completed and will not show objectives when you attack it but when you find and kill the polemarch you will get a seal

You need to go to Sparta and get the Athenian Polemarch contract (He's near the big statute of Leonidas) then you will get a Athenian seal when you kill an Athenian Polemarch.

I bet 95% or more of players have never triggered the special Conquest Battle on Marathon Beach which is the only way to get the legendary Athena's Spear and the +25% Damage and Health while in Conquest Battles Engraving. If you get that before you start a New Game Plus you will be able to use it in Conquest Battles and you'll breeze right through them. It also works for the conquest battles in the Fate of Atlantis DLC. A high Crit Chance build with that engraving on your secondary (or primary) melee weapon (Or just use Athena's Spear which is a decent Warrior spear) and you'll cut down enemies in Conquest Battles like butter

So you need 10 Athenian seals and 10 Sparta seals to trigger the battle right??

No you need 15 of each .... 3 for each armor piece of which there are 5 pieces from each guy
