The different parts composing a fort will weaken with every enemy assault.

Let’s take the example of a failed attack aimed at a fort. The enemy was repelled, however, if a tower has suffered 50% of damage during the battle, it will stay damaged until it can be repaired. Thus, this tower will still be at 50% of its total health if another attack is launched before the repairs can commence.
