Wiz! How about giving a little more priority to building forts in the capital province? Currently only minors manage to spare the monarch points to cover their lands in high level forts. It's hard to imagine though that nations like France or Russia couldn't spare the 20-30 MP to upgrade their capitals' defenses to a lvl 5 fort.
Considering the importance of the capital for wars and rebels, I think they really should value this more!
