Will they allow us to build Fortresses (or similar building)? I sincerely think the game will be incomplete without a large building useful for protection and unit creation (like castles at AOK/TC and Fortresses/Migdol/Hill Forts/Palaces at AOM and Forts/castles/fortresses/redoubt at RON)
Yes, you can build forts. We don't know all the specifics yet, but there appear to be at least two types - forts with wooden palisade walls, and masonry forts. You can reportedly build the latter beginning in the 3rd Age, and they apparently have some built-in firepower (wall-mounted cannon and perhaps ranged infantry on the walls). IIRC, we don't know much of anything else, such as whether 4th Age forts/fortresses are substantially different than 3rd Age forts, or whether you can invest in upgrades.

We have been told that you need a level 6 HC (i think) and have followed the correct path to unlock the ability to have fortresses.
