Fortification in team games...still don't get it.

Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked many times, but - I still don't understand how fortification works in chained team games. Here is a screenshot of my game (I am red, my teammate green):



When my teammate tries to fortify from Tripoli, Ghana is not a choice, while Kenya and Cameroon are. I assume they are options because they are adjacent to green countries, while Ghana is connected through several reds.

Therefore, fortification only works to chained own countries or teammate countries that are adjacent to any own country chained to the country I am fortifying from? Or is does the teammate country have to be adjacent to the country that I am fortifying from?

In a team game you can fortify to your team mates but not through your team mates.

So in your example green on triploi can fortify to Algeria (own country) or Niger, Mali or Mauritania (teammate)

Ghana could fortify as far as Algeria but Cameroon only as far as Nigeria.

Hope that helps.

Cool, got it. Thanks.

Learn this quick! This is the key to winning team games, anticipate what your team mate will want to attack and evacuate all unnecessary linked territories towards this goal. You will always beat teams that don't communicate and are selfishly guarding their "own" troops.

But this is really something that should be made clear in the rules/instructions.

Here's what is posted in the Instructions (Game Options) section.

With chained fortifications, you can reinforce once and from a territory connected by territories you own.

With adjacent fortifications, you can reinforce once and only from a direct neighbour. This requires you to plan your deployment and advances more carefully.

With unlimited fortifications, you can reinforce as many times as you like from territories connected by territories you own. This makes the game easier and more flexible.

I guess you need to add another line that states:

"NOTE: In teams games, you may fortify (once for adjacent/chained or multiple times for unlimited) to a teammate's territories that are direct neighbours of your own. But, you can not fortify through your teammates territories."

you should give him a positive feedback for excellent communication, because thats some detailed information he gave you...
