Can ranged units shoot over a Fortification?

The designer reversed his 2021 answer in 2022, and posters agree on the current reading.

Yes. A Fortification is not a unit, so it does not block a Crossbowman's shot; the designer confirmed this in 2022 and acknowledged earlier conflicting information. Players apply the same reasoning to the Archer and Trebuchet, though the designer addressed only the Crossbowman.
