    Odd place to ask. Try looking at the odd place you'd expect it least, like the stickied thread titled EB maps.

    The AI in Alex.exe also perform Naval Invasions. The Koine Hellenon Faction Leader on Krete sailed to the Lesbos and slaughtered my Lesbians on my Makedonia Campaign, after I took Athens and Sparta.

    Ok, guys
    I remember in my second campaign with vanilla RTW I was Greek Cities and when I kicked the Romans and the Carthaginians out of Sicely they were both trying to invade it. Repeatedly that is.
    Since I did not have the strenght to immediately ivade both Italy and Africa -while I already had two fronts in the balkans and Asia Minor- I would need either a fleet around, or a standing army on Sicely, so I opted for a naval defence.
    What I'm saying is that if it hadn't been for the posts in this thread, I would suppose the AI takes to the sea regularly in all versions provided it is after a particular objective.
    The problem with the AI is that it doesn't match the strength of it's fleets with the naval strenght of it's enemies and many times the Romans and a fewer the Carthaginians lost a five to seven unit army because my three bireme fleet would destroy their one bireme fleet.
    Ergo my original question. So, if one choses KH in EB which AI will be the greatest challenge, or at least the least stupid?
    Thanks.

    Hard to say becasue it depends on each factions start. I.e in greece its a coin toss between which factions have the best amries and generals and usually the faction that loses greece in my campaigns is the faction that trys to take corinth first, because they lose the battle and then get beat by the opposing faction they are already fighting. Id say if you were KH the epeirotes or the romans are the biggest worry. You can rush mac and drive them into lydia at the start easily enough.

    Edit: in my BI campaign, pontus are the biggest threat. When it comes to random invasions. They took thodes off me, invaded dacia and even reached as far as italy with random full stacks. This is all whilst they are still only Still counquering modern day turkey

    Personally I'm partial to the BI exe, although it really shines in situations where far more specific modding is allowed...

    Uh, lionhard, the signature bars that say "Member" on them are reserved for team members. You will have to change that ASAP.
