I Hardly ever build beyond level 2 forts due to rebels grabing them when they revolt. The only exception is for places I need to use as staging areas and need to have a higher support limit.

Only building them on the frontier in non core provinces, it was the opposite for me. :)
Does it have any bearing on your observations. Eg do you build the big forts in Core provinces? ...

Speaking of AI problems... in my current game as Portugal Spain goes bankrupt every two years, their inflation is at 141% (I checked by loading Spain via the savegame) and by now, as of 1544, the Aztecs are kicking their asses. They took that one northwestern gold province in an earlier war but now the Aztecs are controlling it again. This is SO frustrating... I even thought I would take control them for a few years to set their finances right and crush the Aztecs... after all, they still have Aguirre (sitting idly in Andalusia... :mad: )... but then I noticed WHY he goes bankrupt: He's got five loans of 1000d a piece... OUCH! I suppose that's the old Fugger loan. (I hated that event!!) He's also got TPs all over south America and northern Mexico, his fleet is roaming across the Pacific (looking for what? Pirates?) and he doesn't know a single straight route from Spain to America. It's all mindless labyrinthic curves with unexplored seazones in between.

Does that happen in your games, too? I'm playing with EEP 1.1...

You might try playing some hands off games to see if this problem is systemic.
