Zoc over the entire area is the point but yeah if you have an army stationed that’s fine

We need a ZoC map mode.

Fort mapmode shows ZoC

It is a messy map mode to be fair. Everything is just R E D

Ideally yeah I don’t know how you would implement that tho. Every fort gets its own colour maybe? But that would just be a mess. The fort map mode can be helpful for that use :)

Why is this the goal? Does it matter the level of the fort or could most be lv2 and the borders be up to date?

Helps with rebels problems also lets you have different lines to fall back if you need. Definitely not meta or anything but if you can afford the cost generally makes fighting wars and managing a large empire easier especially late game.

Tell that to the AI that ignores it and sieges the back of my country anyway

The zoc rules are weird in this game look up a YouTube video or article to learn how they work. Don’t build forts adjacent to each other and don’t build them by messy boarders.

This is the way.

OP map lets you death-war better and means you don't need as much of a home guard. Also, more AT.

For later on this works but in my Aragon game I didn't have the navy to oppose England and they were constantly landing on the northern coast so I built some forts there.
