The tower is also a great augmentation of the fort. This makes the tower great for defending against raiders, but really worthless against large armies. So this means that with nothing garrisoned inside them, forts fire twice as fast as towers, and the fort max fire rate is twice as high as the tower max fire rate. Forts have a base 2/6 rating, and towers have a base 1/3 rating. The base Garrison Power (hereafter denoted as GP) value for the normal (non-Mayan) Fort and Tower are set in stone, they never change, not even though the ages/upgrades. So what effects this value? How do you increase it? How much faster do Mayan buildings fire? Lets examine these questions one at a time. The higher the value, the faster the building fires (and thus, the more damage done). The Garrison Power value represents the Rate of Fire of the building. This is expressed as a fraction X/Y, where X is the current Garrison Power, and Y is the maximum Garrison Power. Each of these buildings has a value called Garrison Power. Lets start by exploring exactly how forts/towers/cities damage enemies. Mayan Cities (with or without garrisons) and fortifications have an increased rate of fire.Lets take a look at the Mayan Bonuses that make this possible. Meanwhile he’s been breaking against your defenses like waves upon the rocks, wasting many valuable resources from his side. With this you can boom past your opponent in ages and technologies and economy, then unleash a torrent of conquest fueled by your much expanded economy.

This facilitates the boom because instead of spending money on expensive units, your instead investing your resources into building a stronger economy. Maya may not have the economic bonuses that the British or the Nubians have for booming, but they have certain defensive bonuses that allow them to defeat all but the most determined attack, with naught but 10 units (at least in the first 3 ages or so, afterwards as armies get bigger, you’ll need more than 10). With the Russians, I’ll try to find out what that attrition number actually represents (the one with the boot in the unit information). For instance, with the French I’m going to check out the healing rate of the supply wagons, then compare that to garrisoned units. I will take this opportunity to do some research on specific things within the game. I'll start by going over each of the nation's bonuses in depth, then through each Unique Unit's line in depth, and finally with general strategies that adapt to this particular nation. This is the first in a series i'll be writing up here about different nations, hoping to spawn an IDD (In Depth Discussion) about said nation.
