Enemy armies can always move into a province with a fort in it (a design oversight in my opinion) and a broken fort in a single location would result in the enemy pouring into the undefended heartlands. If you stagger them only so slightly, you can force the enemy to navigate an intricate web of fortress zones of control.

In that case they can ignore the first row since they can walk right through it.so i need to build second row or third like walls of constantinople

My Venice-Italy :
In game :
The world map (no colonies, I really focused on Europe)
The religious map (I converted (almost) all my territory to catholicism)
My only regret is that I did not have time to finish France and the UK and have a proper Roman Empire.
I was allied during most of the game to France, Irak and Poland, but I betrayed them one after the other. Shame. France was protecting Genoa, Irak was in the way and Poland attacked a country which was protected by the then OPM Bavaria, one of my allies.

Just finished my Ideas Guy run - actually my first time properly playing a custom nation. Needless to say, I went bonkers with my starting monarchs, tech, and ideas, and went with the babby Cape start. Finished the game with 1366 ducats/month, so if I were just a tad more proactive, I could've also done the achievement at triple the difficulty Also raised cape to 80 development, unlocking all building slots. Now that's what I call the city of World's Desire! And that's before considering that it produces coffee to boot!
The nation is named after an old strategy game that I used to play in my childhood called Genesia, a.k.a. Ultimate Domain. Used to love it back then
Anyway, here's the old world:
Now, where it actually gets interesting is in the RNW:
That's the most awesome looking RNW I've seen yet. A crab claw, half an alligator, and a little dragon. Names are self-explanatory. Sadly, I largely ignored the AI colonies for a large part of the game, so when I eventually did get around to gobbling them up, there wasn't enough time remaining to nom it all. Bugger.
Oh well, at least I've officially discovered the coolest named province and wasteland in EU4:
Polar Blade next to Hammer Ridge, right up in the very north of the map. Ooooh boy, tourism should become quite lucrative there in the future. I reckon it will become a popular site for Scandinavian metal bands
Yeah, the new RNW has certainly kept me entertained this playthrough. GJ Paradox!
EDIT: Oh, right, forgot the final screen:

Wait what. Catholic Golden Horde surrounded by Russia in 1821? WAT.
These graphics, like w0t is dis.?۱۶۰۰ امپراتوری ایران(Persian Empire 1600s)
Religion map
Diplomatic Map
My Burgundy > Netherlands with the sole intention of becoming the HRE while still being a Dutch Republic. That meant I had to join the Empire as Burgundy, Proclaim Erbkaiserturm, and form the Netherlands.
Portugal became the Emperor during the League Wars, so I just decided to go Protestant.
All of my colonies were established while I was still Burgundy, so you won't be seeing an orange Australia.
This was right before the Cossacks update. I would have gone up to 1820, but the game crashes after a few ticks.

Holy Trinity:
Fairly conventional run. Joined HRE, best friends with Austria until about 1760. Began with conquering Venice, then Serbia, Crimean Genoa, then up through Poland and Lithuania towards the Baltic. Helped greatly by the lack of a Poland-Lithuania union. Achievement at 1692. Then I just aimed for a Papal Europe with happy Marches and nice borders.
Oh, and Poland makes a good march too.

Behold, the Venetian Trade Empire, the lands of the Doge of Venice, Protector of the Holy Land and the Land of Egypt, Lord of the Po, Overlord of Genoa and Constantinople and Protector of the Catalan and Greek Peoples.
Had quite a bit of fun, specially when I was starting to invade the Levant. I eventually set up Karaman as a friendly trade-steerer to replace the Ottomans, that are now owning only two provinces in Greece. I finally hit my objective of(exactly!) 1000 development by taking Corsica and Lika from a Tuscany+Hungary alliance.
Allies were France and Poland, then later on the Sultanate of Karaman. Once or twice I lost the alliance with the French but I only needed to shift a few rivalries and I got it back in a month or two. Poland was pretty much a non-factor, the only time they actually helped was during a Ottomans+Mamluks coalition war.
Administrative+Defensive is very powerful when you have the vast and endless coffers of Venice at your disposal. You can just keep throwing mercs to replenish your already superior morale and not have to bother too much. I spent much of my peacetime with only cav and artillery up. By the end I could afford to maintain 24 merc regiments in total, and still easily support 24 more in case of war.

my humble kazani empire:
finished around 1790, than converted as much as possible, could have been a lot earlier if there wasn't an ottoman-austrian-muscovite allianceweb since very early

Welcome to my first Byzantium game people.
My allies are: Austria, Münster, Persia, Russia and Great Britain.
I punished Venice for what they did to me in 1204.
I took quantity and quality ideas, so my army is the biggest and best in the world, never westernized though, I could easily keep up with tech.
After my conquest of southern Italy, Napels now lives in Tunesia, note the amount of land I took away from them.
I conquered Jerusalem...
...and Mecca.
France was busy eating India.
Southeast Asia is just a mess.
New world, not much of note here, except that Canada is kicking USA's ass.
Qing actually formed.
The stats...
Oh yes, all of this land is now Orthodox, I think I did quite well for a first run

I finally got around to playing an Indian game. I got the Bengal Tiger, Guarantor of Peace, and The Sun Never Sets on the Indian Empire achievement.
