Monty Patton Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 How do you use engineers to build fortifications in Storm Over Europe? I found the 'Fortify' option under Set Mode by right clicking the engineer unit, but the option is greyed out.The unit was built last turn, but hasn't moved yet this turn. It is also raining. How to get the fortification option active ?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi MontyYou are on the right track, but there are a few further requirements, in that the Engineers can't be adjacent to the enemy, must have supply of 5 or more, and fortifications cannot be built on resources.Hopefully it was one of those preventing the fortification from being started?Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Patton Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 The engineer is sitting on a level 10 city, it is full strength and has a supply of ten. The country in question is still neutral and its raining. I don't know if weather matters or not. There is no nearby HQ though, but I don't know if that matters.I let the next turn go by, but the engineer's status is still the same. Should I try moving it to another city or move an HQ next to it?thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hi MontyThe crucial thing is where the engineer unit is, as a fortification cannot be built on a resource, and the city is a resource.Move it to a hex that doesn't contain a town/city/mine/oil/capital and you should be able to set it to work.
