Default Re: Fortress to Province ratio

So..... Your early expansion encompasses 30-50 territories?

I generally saturate my forts over time so that few provinces lack a fort on their border. I still tend to be a bit slower at getting them started, but once I do, I consider them invaluable for stopping raiding strategies, and protecting against barbarians.
You're nitpicking, of course. Yes, my early expansion tries for 2-3 provinces per turn for the first year and a half or so, and 20 territories by the end of year 1 is probably a fair average. No, I don't have 3-5 forts by the end of year one, and I may or may not even build 5 forts by the end of year 3. It depends on a lot of things like whether I'm having to pour resources into a war with somebody or just buying mages and expanding, but especially early on I may build more forts than the 1:10 ratio indicates. The 1:10 is my guess at what my stable ratio is. I'm positive I don't have less than a 1:5 ratio because then all my forts would be practically touching.
