What role will fortresses play? Classic sieges were not nearly as important in this time period as they were before. Will fortresses play as important a role as they did in EU2?

Sieges were not dead.......just that they were sieges of towns in the main not fortresses

I didn't say there were no sieges in this time period. Of course there were. There were even sieges in WW2. But the significance of them was far less in modern warfare at least since Napoleon.
There were lots of forts built at around the time. So maybe they serve some purposes if not a whole lot, I reckon.
Vienna´s citywalls and fortresses were demolished during the latter years of the 19th century. There were no fortifications in the beginning of the 20th century at all there.
