AI and forts

[DeerMan]

Not a ramble about ZoC, but to beg to get the AI to build and upgrade forts.
Russia late game is a joke as it has no forts in the south and only level 2 forts everywhere but St Petersburg where it doesn't even have one!
The Ottomans as well, their main weakness in late game are those level 2 forts which get eaten in a couple months.
France upgraded the forts, Ming upgrades, Austria upgrades...Why Spain, Russia, and the Ottomans doesn't? They're not poor, they have healthy armies and should be big players, but get sieges in a snap of the fingers
Please, It would help stopping the late-game rolling

I encountered that aswell whilst playing Castille>Mare Nostrum
I am fairly certain that Ottomans usually upgrade their forts towards the Asia borders, as was the case in my game, why? I suspect it is because thats where they mostly start expanding mid-late game.
I think its the same thing with Russia as well.

they do upgrade, when they get the money

Not only do they upgrade, they also build new ones. What the AI really should do however, is to upgrade/build forts in their capital.

I see the AI upgrading their forts constantly. Except for Russia on normal, but that's because they are poor.

That's an issue that was really known, especially in VH because supporting their 800k army made the Ottomans unable to sustain any fort. But it's a lot better now that the AI uses his money properly.
