Re: Building fortresses
Castles are good for choke points but they do not have to be ON the chokepoint. They might be better for you if they are within REACH of the choke point. Like 1 move away from it. I find it more important what indepts it can get and to hit the "8" key to look at how many provinces it can draw additional resources from.
For maximum effectiveness keep in mind that a castle uses the provinces it is connected to. And another castle will use the provinces connected to it. So build them two provinces away from each other if possible.
Check the different terrains which can give you different fortresses that you can build. Do you want the cheaper one? Or the stronger one? the one that has a higher admin rating?
Of course my suggestions are from playing solo on pretty large maps. Playing fast blitz games on small maps would probably change the suggestions
