I was wondering, what is the advantge of a fortified field over a normal field

I assume you are referring to field fortifications - if so the defender gets a POA if attacked across or shot at.

Normal baggage camp is looted when an adjacent enemy BG passes a CMT (complex movement test). Fortified camps have to be broken into first - adjacent foot have a 1 in 3 chance of doing this and for mounted it's 1 in 6. Once broken into, i.e. the intrinsic guard have been defeated, the CMT to loot the camp takes place.

Obviously a quicker answer is to simpy say it takes longer to loot the fortified camps usually!

Any foot, including light, can assault the fortified camp?

Yes any foot or mounted even LF / LH

I have read that no further updates to the game will be made until SoA comes out, but does anyone know if camps and palisides will be made available to use in the scenario editor at that time?
Someone mentioned Alesia and that would be quite fun to build...

Hi!

I am the one; and hope there will be the possibility to build some fortified big camps and maybe some day fortresses!
