Ulver Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I realize this is a dumb newbie question but I did check the manual and it isn’t clear on this. Are there any advantages to being entrenched if one hasn’t got any tech levels in trench? One still get the cool entrenched graphics so I should think there were some advantages.

Bill101 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hi Ulver Yes, being entrenched is definitely an advantage because it will provide you with some bonuses when attacked. But as you get the tech levels it will just become much more of an advantage, and more vital too. So do dig in, but research it too! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks for the quick reply. I must say it is pretty cool to have personal support from the game designer. I’ll warmly recommend this game to my equally nerdy friends. (Need some PBM opponents after all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulver Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Will do. Just another quick inquiry. Is it possible to build fortresses in the WWI scenario? I can’t seem to recruit engineers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The build limit is set to zero in these campaigns, but if you wanted to allow it then you can increase their build limit in the editor. The fortresses they build will be tough, and given the entrenchment in the game I thought it might be overkill to allow the construction of more, Verdun style fortresses during the game.

Glabro Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Was it so that some of the benefits of entrenchment applied even when attacikng? I seem to remember reading something of the sort earlier on the forum. My own experiences are inconclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 It's just that engineers would build Fortresses rather than entrenchments and given that they take years to build in real life, the ability is there in the game to use them, but for the default campaigns they are turned off.
