Not really. It's 4 forts in 20 provinces, which isn't a whole lot if you think about it. I'd load a saved game and do a rough count.
I'm just saying, usually when I play, at a 1:5 ratio apparently, I have a lot of extra gold even after recruitment. Since it's not like you're collecting interest on what you're banking or there's any reason to save up to buy something nice, it's probably best just to spend it all. But I can't seem to do that, so I was thinking maybe I'm not building enough forts?

Hmmm, okay. I just checked my current game, and in early spring of year 3 (~24 turns in) I've got 30 provinces and 5 forts, one of which I took from EA Agartha.
Definitely it's best to spend most of your gold, although banking 10% as a strategic reserve isn't necessarily a bad idea. (If you can buy full production at all of your forts a strategic reserve is mostly unnecessary, but if you're using forts to produce mages the strategic reserve can fuel a troop buildup. It can also be useful to have gold reserved for plopping down PD at need.)
