Deshaies star fort

[Barbarosa]

Hi devs,

During port battle we can still able to see our star fort.  It gives us huge morale advantage.

Can you move it closer to Basse-Terre for more equal battles please?

Thank you.

IMO we should be able to to choose where to place the shore batteries out from a handful of models / styles, some fort would be better to cover more areas or if you want the fort to be able to focus a certain area. Little harbour comes to mind where the really small peninsula would be a great place for a square fort covering both the harbor and the entrance from north as the whole bay

It would work really well for ports in inlets or up river, certainly make some PB's more challenging from a tactical viewpoint. The concept of forward defence and falling back on the guns would make a big difference to light or outnumbered defences, and provide more challenging offensive tactics for attackers as well. One may even see the use of the little used heavy ship batteries where speed and mobility are not major issues.

There wouldn't much much point in having a choice, like ship builds, there would only be one sensible location

During port battle it only fired few times when enemy is escaping.

Too much investment for not having it in battle.

You can check the placement by zooming to port.

We want to use it as a storage depot but even for that it is too far away.

Granted the attacking was fastly beaten with losses... I miss the sense of sarcasm.

and a 2nd/3rd rate fleet beat a 1st rate fleet. which I do like to see.

IMO, not only should we be able to place forts and towers where we want, but the ports themselves should have an HP and also be able to take damage, thus lowering all player building levels by 1 if HP level reached.
