An enclosure protected by a strong palisade, with watchtowers and simple wooden buildings for the garrison, equipped with four Ballistae. A full garrison normally consists of 5xGuards, 5x Archer recruits, who are used as supplementary guards and 10x Skirmishers, who patrol the area, but are capable of providing defensive arrow fire. A single officer oversees the fort.

The fort can be used to establish your presence in a hostile environment, and provide a safe stopping place for travellers or adventurers. It might also be used to monitor potential threats in a frontier area, with the ability to send riders for reenforcements.
