Just a small announcement before I begin. Please don't size text up for emphasis, people will read it anyway. It just ends up making your post read like an attempt at a Newspaper or a post by some kind of raving madman. It seems to have stopped now, but keep it in mind in the future please.
I think this is probably a bug. While it may be true that naval invasions were really undertaken, moving troops by the sea was frequently done.
No naval invasions mean that India and America will never switch hands. Austria could grow huge and own half the ports in Europe and it will never make any attempt at all at grabbing some colonial riches. Is this realistic?
It also means that Britain is compeltely invulnerable to France and other European powers, which is silly.
However, you shouldn't let this ruin your game. I know full well this is a problem and I still think that the game is fantastic. I don't see why someone poiting it out somehow makes it worse. If you hadn't notice that this was a bug then did it really effect your enjoyment of the game that much?
