crashes when a fort is built

no longer works, well it does until you enter an enemy fort (CTD)

Thanks for the mod

My system tells me I am missing a prereq for Fortress Borders. Any help here?

I think this may need an update to be compatible with Gia Mod. It's a bit wonky =(
Justin 17 Jun, 2024 @ 11:36am 
could probably use an update but thanks for uploading

Can you make it so that the culture borders are removed if the fortress is removed, provided these tiles don't belong to a city?

Why is this mod not working for me? I've enabled it in the game menu itself

I think fort claiming only its own tile is more balanced, all adjancent is too much.

I attempted to play this in a MP game with teams of 2. When my teammate built forts, they showed up as my territory instead of my teammate's. The territory around the fortress would also randomly disappear a few turns after they were built, sometimes to reappear randomly. How would one go about fixing that?

Hello. In this version it looks a bit overpowered, can you please make it cost more gold? Like 10 for example. Otherwise u can just control every lux u want without loosing anything

:steamthis: You should not use this mod with Community Patch. :steamthis:

It seems it creates a bug where Citadels have tiles controlled by them forever after capturing or obtaining adjanted cities. Moving units over there or building forts nearby doesn't help. You will notice this only in mid-game or later, and this might ruin fun significantly.

You can definitely build fortresses outside of your borders, though I can't confirm the "unassignable tiles" bug. I just finished a game with it, and worked like a charm.

To the people saying this doesn't work, note that a military unit HAS TO OCCUPY the fort within a few turns of it being built, otherwise it's back to neutral territory, until you or someone occupies it.

Cheers for the great mod

Bugs:

1) Can't build outside of borders (I'm ok with this tbh)
2) If built within a cities radius before that city expands normally or via gold purchase, then those tiles are unassignable as manually controlled pops!!! Not quite game breaking, but so fucking annoying to make me was to remove this mod from my rotation

Hi, so I'm using the American Domination mod and this mod doesn't work with the American exclusive Hardened Fort. Would you be willing to help walk me through the process of making that happen?
Chinaman 1 Jan, 2022 @ 8:19am 
Someone in the comments mentioned that this mod makes forts deal damage to units adjacent to them like citadels. Is this true?
Oliver 27 Dec, 2021 @ 3:31pm 
City States use the forts to expand theire Borders and steal other civ's lands
which is quite annoying

@Cookiesnm1lk You need to Subscribe, then allow the Mod to download through Steam; either via closing the Game to enable background Downloads, or enabling constant Background Downloads option for the specific steam Game, or via manually telling Steam to download the Mod, AFTER subscribing. This possibly might take an extra minute to allow Steam to recognize that you have pending Download Requests, especially with the manual option, however; if you follow this advice and are still unable to access any of the content for this mod: I would suggest opening a Discussion Thread to figure out what steps are failing in your device/software.

if AI dont use this mod and player can just use is not kind of cheating???
Vorpal Spoon 25 Jul, 2021 @ 4:57pm 
I really enjoy this mod, and it is a territorial life-save in regards to "filling in the gaps"!

I have a question-when you use it to "claim" a resource with a worker after the fort is built, I see it collects it in the resource tab, even if it isn't immediately connected to your territory yet.

Does it go to the closet city or is it collected aggregately? Wanting to know in regards to food sources within fort tiles, does it go to the closet city that will eventually connect to it? Thanks in advance and great mod:stein::winter2019coolyul:
Cookiesnm1lk 25 Apr, 2021 @ 11:24pm 
anybody else unable to download the mod?
Hyperion 10 Aug, 2020 @ 11:05am 
works amazing bro
Augustus II 16 Feb, 2020 @ 3:01pm 
You have to delete it from the data folder Pineapple.
Tamomomma 28 Jan, 2020 @ 11:55pm 
So this mod has ruined my game. It's hooked into the game even after a fresh install and I can't get rid of it.
theDrownedMan 16 Jul, 2019 @ 8:31pm 
Not working for me.
CandySeller74 28 Jun, 2019 @ 11:57am 
I deleted this mod but the fortress borders still happen, and the ai has taken to claiming my territory by building forts alongside my border. I tried uninstalling Civ 5 but the borders still happen
Indigo 24 Jun, 2019 @ 6:10pm 
Works perfectly for me
TheOneHitPupper 23 Jun, 2019 @ 2:50pm 
Almost works perfectly for me. There were several forts owned by India, prior to them being conquered. Now that they have been eliminated, their forts are still under their ownership and no one can enter the territory to claim the forts. So basically I have 12 hexes next to my main city I cannot claim due to this. I do have the Community Patch installed, so that may be causing the issues.
TaylorSahara 18 Jun, 2019 @ 8:33am 
I have the mod, doesn't claim any tiles however.. bit of a shame
Tamomomma 26 May, 2019 @ 5:23pm 
Does this mod add random barbarian cities? Because they weren't there until I got this mod.
PlayOFF rus=mute 20 Apr, 2019 @ 5:56am 
How to prohibit the construction of forts and citadels near cities?
PlayOFF rus=mute 19 Apr, 2019 @ 1:57pm 
hat to do so that you can not build forts and citadels near cities.
FeralMonkey 16 Mar, 2019 @ 12:38am 
Is there a direct download for mac users?
Pope Blart 12 Dec, 2018 @ 11:53am 
you should change it so that you can build the fortress earlier in the game
CandySeller74 3 Dec, 2018 @ 3:14pm 
I deleated the mod but the fortress borders keep apearing but only for the AI. How do I fix this?
mazrados 23 Nov, 2018 @ 10:20pm 
OK I see what was the issue. I was trying to adjust one mod and messed it up. Probably this mod and perheps another did not work at all for some time. Fixed the bug and now it works.
mazrados 23 Nov, 2018 @ 1:16pm 
I think that now borders are not decaying? I mean, when I build fortress, I have borders around that. Then I remove it or move out unit from it and borders are still there. I remember that it was decaying some time ago. Is it intended change or some bug?
Pizkwat 27 Oct, 2018 @ 5:43pm 
completely fucked, thank you
Mihajlo961x 25 Sep, 2018 @ 9:39pm 
One of my favorites, it really changes the gameplay in terms of adding more flexibility. Thank you!
uno 14 Sep, 2018 @ 11:01pm 
Such a great mod, a must have.. THANKS
ACTION MAN 2 Jun, 2018 @ 3:19pm 
Not compatible with diplomacy value mod, or city limits mod(I think, neither worked after I activated it)
Super Earth Ceremonial Guard 22 Apr, 2018 @ 8:02am 
anyone got this to work? for me it just says "fort cannot be constructed outside your territory"
no_offline_games_anymore 13 Apr, 2018 @ 5:42pm 
Then don't use it. :)
Señorita Awesome 12 Apr, 2018 @ 3:46pm 
So I'm playing a game with this mod and I gotta say it's kinda broken. The AI seems to never use them thus far, which gives me a MASSIVE advantage. I was invaded and broke the invaders army with 0 problems because of the passive 20 damage. I like this mod, but it gives me too much of an advantage.
preffect  [author] 8 Apr, 2018 @ 12:58pm 
Confirmed that as of today this mod still works. This mod adds borders around regular forts, and allows you to build them outside of your territory. You have to have to tech to build forts for this to work.
highfivingbears 6 Apr, 2018 @ 10:12pm 
Hoodie, the photo is literally of worker forts. Citadels already claimed one hex away of territory.
Obsidian [it/its] 6 Apr, 2018 @ 7:33pm 
By the way, this is for citadels from great generals, not worker forts
Darktrooper119 28 Mar, 2018 @ 7:17pm 
So, plan on getting civ 6 and making a version for it?
cause that would be awesome....
CARNIesada6 9 Mar, 2018 @ 5:02pm 
Having the same problem as FieryCabbage below. There is no option to build forts outside of my territory, unless it is supposed to be built by someone other than a worker...
FieryCabbage 2 Mar, 2018 @ 7:03pm 
Does this mod still work? I installed it, but there's no option to build forts outside of territory.

There's no technology requirement and workers do the building right?
