It seems like you can't build forts in every region/province on the map. Do you have to build or research something before you can do that?

you can build a fort anywhere other than underwater(and even there if your a water nation) unless you lack gold afaik.

A fort can be created from a spell underwater.

Just another brief question. I've heard several people on this board talking about how they got armies around 500 or even 1000 men. How can I get such an army. My biggest armies re around 50, 60 men! Is it all a matter about waiting in a fort with a commander and gathering troops?

On a larger map game you can also gather your army on the way to the war. I wait to gather a huge army of nationals then send them, the war will be over before they get there. So I make troops along the entire path. I make a national leader, some elite troops, some summons, and a few items (pot, bag, sword) for feeding the troops. Then as I travel I pick up elephants here, knights there, some archers, some heavy infantry, some javilineers, even a large batch of slingers.

The larger the maps the larger the armies become for you and your enemies and it will take time. The larger maps usually take longer so I recommend playing the larger maps with victory points. Also don't play the water nations because most computer opponents lack the intelligence to organize large armies on attacking water provinces.
