Just, so the dicussion leaves the FAQ thread and because it really is an interesting topic.
I do agree, one of the things I really appreciated about Empire and now Shogun 2 is that you couldn't march onto someone else's territory (and they couldn't march onto yours either) withouth either requesting and receiving military access or declaring war.
It's like "Hey, I'm not declaring war on you, my friend who I have trade rights with for decades now, really I'm not, I'm just gonna park a few armies in your territory and let them devastate your countryside. You have a problem with that? Well then you'll have to declare war, breaking our treaties and getting diplomatic penalties for that :P"
Just they probably wouldn't make the smiley...
