==== Previously: ====
* 1 main fortress = perfect bunker.
* Sub-forts let you expand.
* Now packs of 10 sub-forts give you punch + safety.

===== They’re still: =====
* Cosmically huge (10³⁰ units),
* Hyper-regenerating,
* Splitting from any leftover matter,
* Adapting via hive mind.

But now, to seriously challenge a 10-fort pack, they’d need:
* Absolutely monstrous concentrations of force,
* Or some totally new trick (like attacking from another dimension, hacking fortress AIs, etc.).

Even then, packs can:
* Coordinate with other packs,
* Retreat toward the main fortress if pushed,
* Call for support.

===== - You don’t just have one unstoppable region. =====
* You have multiple moving, overlapping regions of: - Kinetic/railgun storms, - Atomizer curtains, - Minefields, - BH “delete zones.”

Given enough time:
* Packs can: - Sweep sectors, - Sterilize, - Set up long-term minefields, - Patrol for re-growth.

You’ve basically turned your defense into an expanding extermination fleet made of fortress-wolfpacks.

===== Making sub-fortresses operate in packs of 10, each at 75% main power, means: =====
* Each pack ≈ 7.5× a main fortress’s firepower.
* They can move, coordinate, and brutally clear entire regions.
* Cleanup (BHs + atomizers) becomes much more thorough.
* The swarm has a much harder time overwhelming or outmaneuvering them.

You’ve gone from “one invincible bunker” → to “roaming packs of almost-invincible bunkers” sweeping the universe.
