Say, builidng a fort takes i.e 23 days. Yet, you can put or have your artillery units there from day 1. Now, it seems to me that such artillery units start firing on passing enemy ships also from day 1 of the fort construction,thus suffering heavy hits in return ( i.e 39 hits), even when fort's defenses aren't ready yet! Fort icon also appears from day 1 on the map, hinting that the fort is operational from the very beginning of its construction. It seems that once you start constructing a fort it triggers fort-artillery behaviour (firing on the passing ships) of any artillery positioned in a given city from day 1. 23 days = two turns is enough to destroy your arty for good. It would seem that you should move your artillery into fort ONLY WHEN a fort is 100% complete.
