The Red Fort is one of the three Wonders of the Gunpowder Age and one of the three new Wonders added in the Thrones and Patriots expansion.

Effects

• Wonder of the World: 2 wonder point(s).
• Massive Fort with long range, many hit points, extra garrison value, increased border push, and resistance to air attack.
• Can be built wherever a Fort can; does not count against a City's Wonder limit (normally 1 Wonder per city). Its build location is not revealed to the enemy until it is completed.
• Receive Fort upgrades for free and all Forts gain 33% more hit points.
• Units garrisoned in the Red Fort heal at +500% the normal rate.
  • This increased healing also applies to allied units garrisoned within the Red Fort.
  • In practice the enhanced rate of healing is often higher than this value would indicate due to limitations of temporal accuracy.

Conquer the World

When the Red Fort is held in your empire but not present in the current battle:

• Receive Fort upgrades for free and all Forts gain 33% more hit points.

Trivia

• The Red Fort is one of the four wonders that produces units and can create a Rally Point; the others are the Terra Cotta Army, the Forbidden City, and the Kremlin.
• For some reason, computer players never build this wonder regardless of the difficulty level played at.
• The Red Fort, unlike all the other Wonders, does not benefit from the Hit points bonus granted by Large and Major Cities.
• This Wonder is affected by a bug.
