Defensive structures are vital for protecting your base and controlling key areas of the map. Walls block enemy movement and provide a barrier. Outposts (or Towers) are defensive structures that fire arrows or bullets at approaching enemies. Forts are powerful defensive buildings that can garrison units and fire cannons. Place walls strategically to funnel enemies into kill zones or protect vulnerable resource gathering areas. Outposts should be placed to cover important chokepoints or to defend your economic buildings. Forts are excellent for anchoring your defense or establishing a forward operating base. Remember that defenses are not impenetrable and should always be supported by military units.
