i feel like large nations have basically no forts while small 3 province guys succeed in having a fort for every territory.

I checked AI fort stuff...and....take a look:


Code:
NAI = {
       [...]
       #economy
       FORT_BUDGET = 10
       [...]
       }

what this means is that the AI never spends more than 10% of GDP on forts, doesn't sound too bad...right?

well, check this monstrosity out:

Code:
NAI = {
     [...]
    #Forts
    PLACE_FORT_BORDER_FACTOR = 1.5 #Is on border 1/0 multiplied by this.
    PLACE_FORT_COAST_FACTOR = -1.5 #Is on cost 1/0 multiplied by this.
    PLACE_FORT_PORT_FACTOR = 2.0 #Is on cost 1/0 multiplied by this.
    PLACE_FORT_DISTANCE_FACTOR = 1 #Distance in provinces to nearest fort multiplied by this.
    PLACE_FORT_CAPITAL_FACTOR = 1 #Capital 1/0 multiplied by this.
    PLACE_FORT_TERRAIN_FACTOR = 1 #Def bonus multiplied by this.
    PLACE_FORT_RIVER_FACTOR = 1 #River 1/0 multiplied by this.
    PLACE_FORT_LEVEL_FACTOR = 0.5 #Existing fort level multiplied by this.
    PLACE_FORT_PROVINCE_CAPITAL_FACTOR = 3 #Forts in province capitals.
    PLACE_ROAD_MIN_DISTANCE = 2 #Minimum distance from one road endpoint to another.
    DISBAND_FORTS_CAPITAL_BIAS = 2 # More likely to choose Forts in capital city to disband first
    [...]
    }

what does this mean?

It means that the AI not only doesn't build enough forts, but has been *intentionally* instructed to *demolish* capital forts, ever seen the AI just leave it's capital undefended? well, this is why...

this is what happens when we have a design-wise disaster, the AI isn't dumb, it' just been designed poorly.
