I am playing on an android tablet so I play only againt the AI. I have put the AI at maximum. Even doing that the AI is not able to play correctly. I use always the strategy that garanty me a sure win. Only on very difficult map were I starting position is very poor I have some difficulty putting the strategy in place, but once done it is a sure win.　Ｉ　ｄｏｎ’ｔ　ｕｎｄｅｒｓｔａｎｄ　ｗｈｙ　ｔｈｅ　ＡＩ　ｃａｎｎｏｔ　ｕｓｅ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｓｔｒａｔｅｇｙ

The AI rarely builds them because when it did the game became quite dull. Maybe we should look at adding them back in.

Thank. You for reading.

Well, it is not only the fortress, it is too the economic tile. They don't develop there economy so when they build a level 3 unit they can barely support it, whereas with lot of economic tile you can easily support them with average territory.

My idea so that the game is not too dull or hard for beginner, would be to make the fortress AI optional or that only a random number of them use this strategy.

Normally the AI should be nearly unbeatable on highest level on a game like this one (there is a theorem in game theory that such game has a winning strategy).

Best regards.
