I saw the Engineer talent of "Fortify Position" and it got me thinking- an engineer builds, so rather than just giving itself a buff to fortify a position, could an engineer physically alter the maps?
E.g. an Engineer could "build a fortification" to add +1 Defense or +1 Attack. The effect on the actual map would be to add the red or green overlays for +1 Defense or +1 Attack to whatever square has the constructed engineer fortifications. Thereafter, other Templars could use those fortifications.
This would probably be a relatively powerful talent, so it would be available later on a talent tree, and I would suggest it costs maximum AP- 4 or 5 and it can only be used once per map at level 1 of the talent, and twice at level 5, and thrice at level 10--the engineer does not have enough supplies with itself to build more than one fortification.
Another balancing factor for this talent is that Templars are usually run and gun--they don't often sit in one place and hold- so it is situationally powerful at best.
