Noob Question Entrenchments

[Aolain327]

Noob Question:

While I understand how to create the forts, how does one create entrenchments? Does this happen automatically?

Thanks ahead of time!

Any unit will dig in automatically. Just let them sit still and they will start digging.

Other fort building notes:

Forts cannot be increased in size to greater than 2 if the hex is more
than 25 hexes from an enemy unit.

For construction on a fort level to begin in a hex, there must be a combat unit in the hex.

Construction and engineer support units attached to headquarters units in the combat unit’s
chain of command can assist those combat units in constructing fort levels if the applicable
headquarters unit passes a leader admin check.

Town, city and urban hexes can use their population as civilian labor to help construct fort
levels within up to 8 hexes if a supplied enemy unit is within 25 hexes.

security type units cannot build a fort level greater than one and isolated units are limited to building fortification level no greater than two.
