FORTS LIVE IN WORLD 1!!!!

i have a character in world one and forts just went live this morning.

That means they aren't far behind in world 9

Build a big fort

Description
Your town needs $ 10000 and 41800 city points to construct a fort. This labor intensive project costs you 80 energy points.

thats the requirements. We need 2 towns that are at that level and have 10k to spare. Lets designate these towns NOW and pick 2 towns to grab 2 big forts in an area that is close to the middle of all of our towns so we can get there for defense quickly.

Another thing I understand is an issue is 2 handed weapons. GET YOUR FIGHTERS TO SAVE THEIR MONEY!! 2 HANDED WEAPONS ARE REQUIRED FOR FORT BATTLES AND THEY'RE EXPENSIVE!!

Lets get on this everyone.. we're in a GREAT spot to take a very dominant position on the server, forts our power so lets go get ours!!!!

Respond to this post if you think your town would be able to found a fort.

can we get some screen shots or text info about the left hand weapons? west stats still have them on the secret pile: http://www.weststats.com/Rumoured/ also is it possible for more that one town to use the same fort? if so is it possible for a town to be a member of more that one fort?

Can we get lists of exact quantities of items needed for each level of fort construction?

lists like that are in the "forts" thread. They're saying other worlds should have forts sometime next week. I think my town will be ready to take a large fort by then and we'll put up the 10k.

Other towns can join the same fort but 1 town needs to found and put up the $$.

Does anyone know more about the weapons used to defend the fort??? I just hear about guns all the time!!! what about melee weapons??????

We are ready and in place also.

I am in a town on W1 that has taken a large fort. It takes 8 hrs for the initial build before any town members can go in.

It was all posted yesterday.

bubba there are no shooting or vigor skill effects like duels. more info is written here:
http://en9.the-west.net/help.php?article=shooting
it says:
* Leadership is used for shooting, but also for defending.
* Aim is only important when shooting.
* Dodging is only used when trying to dodge a shot.
* Hiding is used when a defender tries to shoot or dodge a shot.
* Dodging is used when an attacker tries to shoot or dodge a shot.

but i think second dodging is a typo, the correct skill is stamina.

Thanks for the info!!

Both Bismarck and Fargo have it ready for our square.
