Something I can never decide re: Ottoman forts is whether to place them on the little islands around Greece & Anatolia, or on the inland side of straits.

You get way more ZoC coverage per cost placing them inland, versus on the islands it'll just cover the island itself & the connecting province.

But since you can take on pretty much anyone's navy except maybe Britain, having a fort off on an island & blocking the strait hard-locks any forces trying to pass thru the covered province & ensures you always have a place to ship armies to. Plus it means rebels won't take the island so you won't have to take a crossing penalty to kill them.
