Strategy:Edit

The Krepost is the Russian unique building, replacing the barracks. The Krepost provides 15 experience points for all military units constructed in its city. In addition, the Krepost increases the city's cultural border growth by 25%. It's quite worthwhile to construct these useful buildings in all Russian cities, but especially in cities on the civilization's frontiers.

Historical Info:Edit

"Krepost" is the Russian word for "fortress". For much of its history Russia was an expansionist state, pushing its borders further east across the vast steppes, into Siberia and beyond. When entering a new terrain, the Russians often would construct a "krepost" to protect their troops and to house governmental and religious buildings. Depending upon the local situation and availability of materials, a krepost could be a temporary wooden fort or a more permanent and imposing stone defensive work. In many ways the krepost is similar in form and fuction to the ubiquitous forts that the Romans built in their newly-conquered lands.
