A6 Fort Emerald!

Yeah, the area does nothing in A6, it was mainly added because it was their in the previous Avernums and justifying the disappearing of a whole fort would be hard to say the least.

Jeff lost a whole continent in Geneforge so a fort is nothing. It's there because Jeff's using the Avernum 4 map.

Humm that's interesting, thanks for informing.

But still, while I do not exactly understand what Randomizer means by using the same map, I m inclined to believe that continuity is the main reason for existence of Fort Emerald, after all Jeff raised two new places, Food Dipot and portal keep so it wouldn't have been that hard to erase Emerald had he wanted to, but then he would need to explain where it went and he probably didn't want to do that.

Yeah, the area around Fort Draco/Motrax's Lair changes a lot (presumably because of the mining) between games and Fort Ganrick was a very small fort built for the sole purpose of clearing out one dungeon. So it makes sense that it would be abandoned. (Maybe not demolished, perhaps, but the Fort Draco/Motrax's Lair area has bigger terrain/landmark changes to worry about.)

 

Fort Emerald, on the other hand, is a larger fort built to protect the surrounding area from any sort of threat. Plus, it has that famous magical emerald that probably can't be readily moved.

 

Dikiyoba doesn't know why the abandoned fort in the Eastern Gallery hasn't been demolished, since it seems to attract bandits. Perhaps new bandits move in before the demolition crew can arrive. Perhaps it is easier to control bandits when they choose a known, stationary spot to set up camp. Perhaps the country of Avernum always has more presssing matters to deal with.
