you should never use forts for a place to keep your full army.
-If anything it is the worst place you could be. If besieged you will be starved out in 3 days.
-If you sally forth you have to fight the besieger on their terms
-if you loose the battle you lose the whole army, you cannot retreat.

forts are great for one thing and one thing only.
-being speed bumps for invading armies.
