We've recommended several times that they add incremental waiting times as well as a resource cost, but I guess it isn't happening.

What has happened to this idea?

A: The conversion will be automatically stopped.

It became impossible once the conversion was instant (being turn based and all).

Make it 3 days base, +1 day for every building that has to be destroyed.

This has driven me nuts many times, and because of it I always take the +3 movement speed on my main hero now.

Here's what happens - the AI creeps into the screen near your fort. You try to chase he runs away. Eventually you say screw it, I can't sit here all day, and then he runs in and ganks your fort on day 6 or day 7, gets all the troops on day 1 before you can get back to him, and runs away.

Of course, this was really because he was faster than I was, but still it was maddening to hold the damn thing for 6 or 7 days only to have a ninja hero take it AND the troops on day one and then leave it to do it again.

I think I liked it better when troops trickled in by the day. Grrr.

1 day conversion +1 day for every other building in the town beyond the hall.

Arrrgh this!
The animation is so annoying! Was neat once or twice but i have to see it everytime! Yes you can skip it - after it loads 2-5 seconds, you get the start of the annoying sound etc. xD Wish i could just turn it of in the .ini or something.

AI stealing your forts is bothersome. :/ Often its one of the weak AI 2nd heroes so you can put a weak hero/army there. Depends on map i know but sometimes you can secure areas like that.

Basic town portal also works on forts, so you can quickly go to one and protect it.

Really? I thought it was just between towns. Now it's even easier to defend our lands than I recalled.

Yeah, really, that is the main pont of forts. Otherwise they're useless. Quick gateway.

Is there any point in converting forts at all?

Did you notice when converting to Stronghold, you can get free Wind Walkers?
