Outpost
In the game's words
How to use it
The Outpost is a strong defensive building with a lot of hitpoints, good line of sight, and a good attack. They can be upgraded to Frontier Outposts that are significantly tougher and stronger. Outposts are useful for defending territory, whether in your colony, near Trading Posts and Native settlements, or other strategic map locations. There is a limit to the number of Outposts you can build in a single game, though that number can be increased by certain shipments from the Home City.
History
Outposts are buildings that are used to gain territory in a military conflict. One example of their use is in the disputed territory of Clipperton Island. The Island was originally charted by Magellan in 1521. It changed hands between Spain, France, and the United States. Eventually, Mexico claimed it and built an outpost to reinforce their claim. Even with the outpost, though, Clipperton Island continued to change hands well into the twentieth century.
