Forts and sight
Not sure if this is common knowledge, but if you build a fort that is within your bounders or touches it, it'l automatically have a sight of 2. However, if its outside your borders, then it has no sight of its own and must be manned to remove fog.

Try building a fort when you have a unit who has lifted the fog of war for you. You just need to see the tile to start building it outside your frontiers. That is all.

Forts can be built within one tile of one of your units as long as the fort itself isnt within someone elses borders. Or anywhere within your borders.

within the sight distance of a unit, not necessarily 1 square

I've notice the AI likes to ignore forts too. In another thread, someone suggested that its not the actual borders that the AI avoids but city radii. Forts only have a one square radius so thats all the AI respects. But it does extend your real borders so that you can build improvements and such.

Did you know that fortresses extend your national borders, like a city? This will prevent people from settling in land you want to use later. An excellent tactic, often used by the Imperial powers in colonies around the world.

Well, that doesn't seem to work for me.
A couple of times I had the AI founding a city 1 square next to my fortress (thus effectively making it belong to them instead of me).
