Sombre, I agree, I'm always trying to find the 'worst' terrain type to build a fort in. In a recent game, I was happy to see real mountains within two provinces of my capitol! Except, I was Skaven. Arggh! I forgot they build a 5-turn 1200 gold Cave Fort in the mountains, and I only had 800 gold saved. Had to head to a forest instead.
I don't know what the best answer is, but I'd really like to be able to building more thematically appropriately sited forts for my nations without wasting time and money.

Hmm, I've never even given the terrain type consideration when placing forts. It's always strategic location and resource requirements that decide where I put them.
