EB RTW.exe Naval Invasions-Oh yes they do

[seienchin]

Wow... I play vanilla at the moment. As the carthagenian and guess what... The Ai constantly does naval invasions... The romans took carali and are now besieging palma. They were also sending thousands of soldiers to help the fight at Messana. The greeks also tried to save Syracus with a full stack and the romans also landed near chartago last turn.
I guess its not the Rome exe. Its EB!
I guess its because of three facts.
1. Ships are so expensive that the Ai only builts them sometimes to fight rather to invade.
2. The Map is so big that the Ai cant plan to invade that far??
3. unit stats are so high, that the Ai sees no chance of invading via see.

I think it is somethink like that. The AI thinks why should I build ships if i can recruit 3 land units for the same money? But otherwise, if ships are too cheap, we would have huge numbers of fleets that do nothing.

Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam

But still... Without frequent navy invasions the game is too easy for many factions and Chartago never dies...
I had the other theory that the scipii atacked me so often because the factions around them were the other romans they couldnt atack, but then the Julii atacked me too
