Fort Bug report

[LonelyOldFool]

Unsure as to whether this is the right place to post this bug report. But I'll persevere nonetheless.

Background: Having a rather successful Florence -> Italy -> Egypt run. As you do. Formed Italy and in the second war with the Ottomans, and 1v1 ing them.

Bug. I have a level 8 fort in both Gaza and Suez. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but this should prevent the ottomans just casually walking across into Egypt proper. But yet, you can see from this screenshot, that is what they are doing.

As you can appreciate, this is really frustrating, as it is causing the ottomans to flood across before I can rest my troops for the next engagement. This is not the first time that I have encountered broken forts, but this is the clearest, most egregious example of the ai 'cheating' and this sort of bug has been going on for many patches, so please, please sort it out, as it ruins games and runs for me. I hope I do not only speak for myself in this regard.

you can ALLWAYS reach forts. so you can travel from fort to fort.
and also you can allways move to friendly province while occupying a fort so they can reach egypt from suez

They can always go to Suez because it's a fort. They can always go to an adjacent province that they own, thus they can enter Egypt via the Ottoman provinces next to Suez.

Thanks for the help. I don't really understand forts to be honest. So if I had the fort just in Gaza, it would be more effective at blocking? that seems dumb af?
I so preferred the old system with forts in every province. It made wars much more linear and easy to work out

But in the old system forts didn’t block movement at all, so they could flood into your provinces anyway.

But I could do the same and I understood it, too, so I didn't take suprise stackwipes and I could stackwipes myself, better.

if gaza was only fort then armies in egypt can allways reach syria but armies in syria will never able to reach egypt (unless they are returning to previus land)
