is it normal that neutral factions cross provinces without diplomatic consequences?

[Kleitos]

remember some campaigns - when i did this - diplomatic messages showed up - like you´ll be warned...

but i hardly remember such messages when other neutral factions did this.

and now in my second Baktrian campaign - im at peace with Saka Rauka (own only Baktria, Paropamisadai, Aria, Margiane, Drangiane, Arachosien) - they use my roads from Marakanda to Gava-Haomavarga. ..no diplomatic messages showed up - as i want to keep peace with them until i conquered india i did not attack them. (no rights for crossing are given)

they dont seem to try to attack me since they´re kinda bound in Marakanda with a big Seleucid Army in Alexandria Eschate - but its a bit disturbing.

thanks,

Yes it is very common, and very frustrating.

oh, well then i must live with it - and yearn for a maybe better situation in EB2..

thanks

The no trespassing policy was introduced with ETW, but M2TW's AI kinda values military access, so it's less common iirc...

I do remember that when playing as England, the Portuguese always sent troops to Ireland, never doing anything. But I guess it's somewhat less of a nuisance in MTW: II.
