Only with Alex have I seen them being transported to Lakonike in order to defend Sparte when threatened by the Makedones.

That happened with me, I was utterly destroying them as the Romani, they broughtover that Army and promptly besieged Tylis. They only had 3 cities left, so I forced them to become my protectorate, on the condition that they pay me 5000 a year for 10 years, and any new conquests are given to me. They had already sent a small army over to Krete, nd were besieging that, so I let them have it.

I saw the Lusotannan invade the Balearics with RTW.exe.

With BI.exe that Greek army on Crete will try to besiege Kydonia and will come back to the mainland if it's needed.

Well, it won't. I've played numerous campaigns on BI.exe and all they've ever done with that army is, well, nothing. Even after Areus dies, the army will remain there, until I decide to invade Krete.

It took Kydonia at least once in my campaigns.

With what exe. are you playing, as far as I am concerned there is no way to force a protectorate to hand over to you conquered settlements.

Cheers.

RTW.exe, and I just FD them over, and have them as Type III govs, until their 10 years of probation is over, then I'll see. At least, that's what I would have done. They have since declared war on me, so I'm going to (once I've destroyed them) bleed them dry, give all their settlements to me, execpt Sparta, and get them to pay me 40k a year for 10 years. then we'll see. I'm a cruel bastard when it comes to foreign policy.

Well thats is how I play my campaign too, as the Romani of course. usalyy I dont destroy a faction but reduce it to its capital and another city. For example, in my Second Punic war, where the Karth-hadast landed an army near Messan awas a very long war from 214 to 196 BC, I forced the Karth-Hadast to accept my rigid terms for peace. They where only to have Carthage itself and Attika, pay me 1000 mnai per turn and I give all their former holdings in North Africa to Saba, I kept Adrumentum, Ippone and Sica. The Epirotes are my protectorate, and have been very good allies, but of course sooner or later they are going to be attacked by Macedon. They send two full stalkes to besige Pella, ( they lost it in 258 BC after the men himself, Pyrrios captured it in 270 ), they where defeated and lost another in a battle between Epidamnos and Pella. Now they are in deep sh>>>>t, and if attacked by the Koinon Hellenon, which I notice usally ship troops around the Adriatic only to be send to the bottom by pirate ships, or the Macedons ,their will be no excuse for Rome's intervention

, after all we will be only protecting our allies on the order of the Senate.

So, am I reading this right? The alx AI will never invade, never try to take land from me? So if I stay peaceful for 200 years, I'll never be attacked? Am I really reading that right?

**satalexton** · 07-29-2008, 05:14

that is, if you don't hold anything that the AI considers "rightfully" theirs

**Arutima** · 07-29-2008, 05:19

I hope it is not stupid like the Naval invasions in Medieval total war II.

with stuff like the Moors landing in northern italy to attack me playing as milan, while they are getting attacked by the kingdom of sicily, the eqygt, Portugal and spain.

Or getting invaded by full stacks of Spanish or portuguese armies, while playing with scotland/england, while their countries are getting conquered by the moors
