Do you build Balustrades (sp?)
Hi,
Possibly the worst spelling yet  So, does anyone build them. I never have, but I just was told that they remove all the movement points from enemy units moving into them. So a line of these along a border would always give you an extra turn when your oponent comes at you with fast troops. I guess it would need specific circumstances to be of any use, basicly a small border and lots of workers (and crusaders?). Anyone done this?Thansk for any help. |

Balustrades?
 I guess you mean barricades. I build them when my slaves have nothing better to do.

Yeah, I was trying to work out what they were called. The ones you build after you have built a fort on the square. Have they ever been any use to you, in the movement taking function? I guess they only remove your movement points if the teretory does not belong to you.

That assumption is correct. I doubt if the movement "malus" matters much, the AI doesn't really move their units efficiently anyway.

I play C3C almost every single day, yet I have never heared of either ballustrades nor barricades.

It helped me win the One City Challenge Emperor Conquest game
 The AI stranded far from our only city with their tanks and we could safely bombard them to pieces with only a few units home. The rest of our troops was razing the world.
