Anyone seen the AI do a naval invasion yet in EB2?

Absolutely. In my first campaign as Baktria, the Romans managed to invade both Corsica and Illyria, also Carthage decided to invade Epirus for some reason. And now in my current Ptolemaioi campaign the Koinon Hellenon did the same with Kyrene.

I haven't seen any good ones, but yes they do them. The Romans looked like they were going to attempt Alalia with a single unit earlier in my game.
What difficulty are y'all playing on? I'm on Medium my first playthrough and I haven't encountered anything interesting with the AI except for Ptolemaioi and the Seleukid Empire war. And that hasn't gone to well for either sides either.
I play on M/M, because I'm lazy :(.
I play as Romani, because I'm awesome :)
In a recent game, I did the Sicilian campaign against Carthage. I guess I offended the oh so sensitive feelings of the Carthaginians because after I took Lilybeans (however that town's supposed to be spelled), Carthaginian forces landed *everywhere* all over Sicily. Took a good bit of work to finally put those fires out... got a truce... and then the Carthaginians did it again!
By the time I got the second truce, my poor army was worn to a nub, and the Carthaginians still owned a PSF on Sicily, with a half stack of fresh troops in it.

I play on M/M because I don't agree with hardcoded bonuses to the AI, nor with the increased aggressiveness all round.

I am thinking it has an effect on bribing too. I can't bribe a pack of donkeys to sing for Taksashila even with all the money in the (indian) world.

I definitely agree. More aggressive AI is not necessarily more immersive or fun AI. Certainly not more intelligent.

I witnessed quite many naval invasions in my campaign (Pergamon, H/M). KH and Ptolemaioi contested over Crete, Macedonia and KH both tried to get Kyrene, macedon won. Kimmerios Bosporos took Trapezunt, Arverni took a settlement in southern Britain. And Ptolemaioi tried two naval invasions so far after I kicked them out of Asia minor....
This version CAI {version 2} is full of naval activity and naval invasions...http://ge.tt/1IlBpos1/v/0
That was unexpected:

And it will really hurt...
