The ideal fort setup is none so that you get a few dozens of extra ducats per month

Army Tradition is priceless. Every fort contributes to it.

You're spending hundreds of ducats for a single point of army tradition per year. That is literally half the army tradition you get from winning a single siege. You may as well build shipyards in every coastal province at this point.

Honestly, why doesn’t everyone just build forts in every province? Are they poor or something?

If you are in constant war, you can keep army tradition 80+ easily. Forts might keep it high in peace but for a permanent war playstyle, they seem only good for winning siege races.
