	'''Fortification''' is an [[unloaded keyword]] ~~used exclusively~~ on Free Peoples ~~conditions~~. ~~They are used to~~ represent ~~barricades~~ and ~~fortresses~~, ~~offering further obstacles to~~ Shadow minions. ~~They~~ are ~~typically in the format of "play~~ to the support area, ~~pay~~ a ~~cost, then transfer~~ to a minion,~~" and offer perks varying between lower~~ strength~~, lower~~ vitality, or increased site number ~~(to force minions to become roaming and therefore open to a whole slew~~ of ~~{{C\|Gondor}}~~ [[~~ranger~~]] ~~tactics)~~.		'''Fortification''' is an [[unloaded keyword]] which appears only on [[Free Peoples]] [[condition]]s in {{C\|Gondor}} and {{C\|Rohan}} [[culture]]s. First introduced in [[Tower Block]], they represent the walls and defenses of Osgiliath, Helm's Deep, and Minas Tirith against the armies of Shadow-aligned minions. Fortifications are played to the [[support area]], but many of them can be transfered to [[minion]]s by [[spot]]ting or [[exert]]ing characters. The fortification condition then applies a penalty to the minion [[bear]]ing the card, usually in the form of reduced [[strength]] or [[vitality]] or increased [[site number]]. They generally have very strong [[cultural enforcement]], as many of them can only be played or used if you spot or exert multiple [[Man\|men]] of the matching culture.

	~~Fortifications can only really be used with other~~ {{C\|Gondor}} cards ~~due to the spot/exert requirements~~, ~~and even among {{C\|Gondor}} it's best to run a set with Knights~~, as ~~many fortifications offer fewer exertions if a certain number of Knights are spottable~~. A ~~medium to large number~~ of fortifications can ~~really start~~ to ~~make~~ a Shadow player~~'s job very difficult as they~~ find their crucial minions doubled down under the weight of multiple ~~fortification~~ cards, ~~leaving even average strength Men able~~ to ~~finish fights~~.		The most popular type of fortification card, and the one most people think of when you just say "fortifications," are {{C\|Gondor}}-culture cards, most of which disposable minion debuffs, as described above. A support area of fortifications can go a long way to smooth out a hard turn, as the Shadow player can quickly find their crucial minions doubled down under the weight of a fortification card or two, while {{Card\|Stone Tower}} or Citadel of the Stars can turn a wound here or there into a dead minion. While these fortifications are discarded at the same time as the minion they're weighing down, they can simply be [[recur\|replayed]] with {{Card\|Sixth Level}}. These cards can be played with any {{C\|Gondor}} men, but oftentimes they are cheaper or free when you can have multiple [[knight]] companions in play. (There are also fortifications that work with [[ranger]]s instead of knights, oftentimes increasing the minion's [[site number]] to make it [[roaming]] and thus vulnerable to cards like {{Card\|What Are They?}}, but they are less popular.) Plus, knights have lots of healing to pay for the necessary exertions, and cards that benefit from or punish minions bearing fortifications, such as {{Card\|Alcarin, Warrior of Lamedon}} and {{Card\|Gondor Bow}}. All of this comes together in [[Gondor Knights]], one of the most popular decks of [[Movie Block]].

	There are a handful of {{C\|Rohan}} fortifications, ~~but they~~ are ~~really just~~ specialized conditions that focus on ~~removing tokens~~ and ~~possessions (both of which make up the core of the~~ {{C\|~~Isengard~~}} ~~machines that represent the opposition at the Battle for Helm's Deep). They can be splashed into~~ {{C\|~~Rohan~~}} ~~decks as needed to provide cover against those strategies, if needed.~~		There are a handful of {{C\|Rohan}} fortifications, as well. They are [[Hate\|specialized counter]] conditions that focus on counteracting [[machines]], [[archery]], and Shadow [[possession]]s. Of these, only {{Card\|Arrow-Slits}} is popular, as a counter to {{C\|Raider}} [[Corsair]] ships and {{Card\|Grond, Hammer of the Underworld}}.

	As hinted above, multiple fortifications can easily be attached to one minion; as they are Condition cards at their core, there is no limit to the number that can be attached at once. Once a minion dies (or is discarded), the fortification attached is returned to the original owner's discard pile.

	~~Being condition cards, they are no more difficult to be rid of than any other condition; therefore, no special strategy need be employed against them except for standard condition removal. See~~ [[~~condition hate]] for more information.~~

	~~See also [[Knight~~]].

			While there's only one [[Shadow Alignment\|Shadow]] card that [[interact]]s with fortifications specifically -- {{Card\|Destructive Orc}} -- fortifications are all still conditions. Standard [[Condition Removal\|condition removal]] works against them normally. The only significant protection most fortification decks have against removal is replaying them with {{Card\|Sixth Level}}, which is itself a condition that can be removed.

			==See Also==
			* [[Machine]]s, the siege weapons of the armies of {{C\|Isengard}}
			* [[Engine]]s, the siege weapons of the armies of {{C\|Sauron}}
			* [[Knight]]s, the defenders of Minas Tirith and a [[subculture]] of {{C\|Gondor}} companions that work well with fortifications.

	'''Fortification''' is an[[unloaded keyword]] used exclusively on Free Peoples conditions. They are used to represent barricades and fortresses, offering further obstacles to Shadow minions. They are typically in the format of "play to the support area, pay a cost, then transfer to a minion," and offer perks varying between lower strength, lower vitality, or increased site number (to force minions to become roaming and therefore open to a whole slew of[gondor] ranger tactics).

	Fortifications can only really be used with other[Gondor] cards due to the spot/exert requirements, and even among[Gondor] it's best to run a set with Knights, as many fortifications offer fewer exertions if a certain number of Knights are spottable. A medium to large number of fortifications can really start to make a Shadow player's job very difficult as they find their crucial minions doubled down under the weight of multiple fortification cards, leaving even average strength Men able to finish fights.

	There are a handful of[Rohan] fortifications, but they are really just specialized conditions that focus on removing tokens and possessions (both of which make up the core of the[Isengard] machines that represent the opposition at the Battle for Helm's Deep). They can be splashed into[Rohan] decks as needed to provide cover against those strategies, if needed.

	As hinted above, multiple fortifications can easily be attached to one minion; as they are Condition cards at their core, there is no limit to the number that can be attached at once. Once a minion dies (or is discarded), the fortification attached is returned to the original owner's discard pile.

	Being condition cards, they are no more difficult to be rid of than any other condition; therefore, no special strategy need be employed against them except for standard condition removal. See[[condition hate]] for more information.
