Other than shipwreck, Assyrian siege army, and land dispute, what are some other easy ways to get rid of fortresses?


Thanks

Emperor Caius Caligula with a Roman defense. Roman's destroy jerusalem will hit all the ones in play except Rome. Siegworks can be placed to negate one. Not as good but relevant. Those are just off the top of my head.

Spreading mildew for evil gold
Trumpet blast and sword and trumpet for teal.
Breaking jerusalem's wall for brown
axe for crimson
White and clay have faith of rahab
red and silver have burning censer
Ephesian elders negates evil fortresses
the orange panic demon negates opponent's NT fortresses.
daniel negates fortresses.

The flood survivors have a card from CoW called the dove returns that can kill forts

When you say "get rid of", do you mean permanently?  Counsel of Abigail and Foreign Sword can both get rid on an evil fortress temporarily, and are easy to splash into many top offenses.

"Today" can get rid of an evil fortress in set-aside.

Razor can hit an evil fortress in a territory.

The Flood discards all evil fortresses in play.

Also, Demon defenses have access to possibly the most flexible discard in the game:  Partners With Demons.  It can literally negate/discard any card in an opponent's territory, except a LS.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?  Depends  ;) ) DtT only hits Temples.  So it wouldn't be very reliable if you put it in a deck as a way to take out fortresses, unless you were only concerned about The Tabernacle, Solomon's Temple, Zerubabbel's Temple, or Herod's Temple.
