the british isles are invulnerable?

Like others said the Ports sometimes invade Wales or Ireland.They usually get stuck on the coast and the city limits...kinda sux cuz you cant evict them and they just sit there eating w/e economy you have until you destroy/bribe them. Once the Spanish sent a 1/2 stack too but didnt attack anything.(I like to think of these small *invasions* as shipwrecks... why else would the Portugese wanna play around???) Generally speaking tho, its safe from invasions pretty much the whole game (over 200 turns) which makes Scots/English along with the Danes the eziest factions to begin with.

The Ports invading Wales seems to mostly annoy the Spanish, in my experience. Nothing like kicking them out of Iberia to discover that they've mysteriously migrated halfway up the map. I prefer it when they conquer something in France, at least then I can get to them fairly easily, wipe them out, and then buy some goodwill with my cheese-eating neighbors by donating the settlement to them.

Bloody Spain! leave Caernafon alone!!!! In my scotland campaign on vanilla, even when we are allies, they love wales. Portugal and Spain decided to take ou the HRE for me, and i took out them and france, and im at the gates of rome. Denmark have landed at york 8 times by my count, thee faction leaders tried it 4 times, with heirs the other 4!! whats the point denmark?

Amusing story: england effectively wiped themselves out, becaus they allied with me, france and denmark, then attacked us all in turn and the pope let us destroy england cos he excomuunicated them.. blissfully ironic

I also seem to get either Portugal or Spain taking Dublin and maybe Caernarvon and Rennes every game. Its usually Portugal, but Spain can beat them to it mybe 1/3 of the time. Denmark is the only other faction I've seen invade, they were at war with Scotland after the Scots took Oslo and Stockholm, and the Danes chased them back to Britain and took Inverness and Edinburgh.

After patch 1.2, Portugal, Spain, and Denmark all started invading the British Islands. Don't know if this continues in 1.3. Denmark in particular was aggressive, every ten turns or so I would half to fend-off a half stack of crazed vikings at Nottingham. As already stated, Spain and Portugal want Whales. Why is beyond me, perhaps CA's stab at the Spanish armada? Although the time frame is a couple of centuries too early.

I also get Portugal or Spain taking Dublin and mabye also Caernarvon and Rennes every game, 2/3 of the time its Portugal. The only other faction I've seen invade in Denmark, they took the 2 scots provinces once.

EDIT: Sorry for posting twice my internet is mucking me about.

Spain constantly have Rennes in my campaigns, every single one

I get it back

I've only ever seen the Danes in the UK once, seems to usually be the Iberian teams.
