A newbie asks...

A few more questions/observsations (all SP):

I don't really see the point of forging much? The majority of my commanders happily don't have any orders: I don't want them killed for the troop rout, so I'm not going to fight with them. The occasionaly definsive thing, but that's it.
As I understand it, each fort takes from adjacent land; if my forts overlap I am actually losing a bit? So I don't build many forts.
In current game, I think I am beating AI because of the PD I build as I go. What is the maximum PD the AI ("normal") would build? Should I limit myself to same cap?

Each fort uses 100% of the production of the province it is in, and some percent of surrounding provinces. If an adjacent province shows a production of zero, surrounding forts have fully used it. Otherwise, there's still benefit to building a fort there, even though it is a sub-optimal use of gold.
