I still haven't had time to finish my first game, but it's now turn 60, on Orania XXL map, and no AI has build a second fort so far. Ulm controls as many provinces as all the rest of us put together, and has a proportional gold income, but still has a single fort. I think I captured one Pythium province that had a lab that was build, and not found, though, and temples are definitely *not* a problem. Magic research is also doing ok, as is the gold income and dominion, but gem income is not so peachy. But then again, I spent way too much on forts, in hindsight, and the AIs have much larger armies, even if they are of a lower quality. They have mages as well, and equip them with items and gems for the most part. But the supply, i.e. building forts, and gem income/summons do seem to be the problem from my experience so far.
