I love them, they are near impossible to take down without massive losses. No serious player has ever tried on me with out artillery. Then its can fall quick. But its incredible range and so many hitpoints. It is the first card almost always in 3rd

I usually don't send my fort card until industrial unless I really need it in Fortress.

Personally, the fort is nothing special. I usually make 25 cannons rather quickly. Needless to say, Forts are easy as pie to take down.

The counter system of AoE3 is crap. I hate how 5 Falconets can take down a fortress. You didn't see people tearing down a castle in AoE2 with Scorpions. It's stupid. Hell I marched about 30 Doppelsoldners up to a fortress and had them all attack at once, about 8 seconds later and the fortress was dead. It's ridiculous.

I think these forts are basically a super tower that can train units. The really awesome forts in history (alamo, ticonderoga, etc) are more like the forts in the campain, large walls and a village inside. The least we shoudl have is the ability to position units on the walls.
