My advice is to never think in terms of "eventually". A lot can happen between now and eventually, most notably that your opponents might notice the vulnerability caused by ploughing most of your funds into expensive castles, and hardly any into a standing army.

Not to mention that if your neighbor notices you building a lot of forts, better ones than he can build, and more of them than he can afford - he's likely to think that _you_ building _his_ castles is a wonderful idea. In more than one game, I've gained most of my forts by massacring those who built them or owned them before me.

This tends to cut down the ... return on investment, for the nation that built the forts.
