An exiting situation

**Taedius** · 10-22-2011, 19:22

Romani campain, M/M, in the 230's. I have secured Italia, Gallia Cisalpina, Sicilia, Sardinia and Corsica, and have taken Segestica and Dalminion. The Epeirotes have spread eastward, the KH hold Thermon and Demetrias, and everything south of there.

Here's the deal: The KH seem hell bent on taking Taras.

Yes, we're talking full-scale naval invasion. Three landings, a fourth stopped. First, a single unit of Thorakitai. Next, a half-stack. It was joined by a full-stack led by a FM. A second full-stack got sunk with it's fleet before it could land.

So yeah, it happens. I've seen movement by ship before. The KH moving armies from Rhodos. The Qarthadastim trying to take back Sardinia and Corsica. The Ptolemaioi sailing off when they're isolated on Kypros. But invasion of new territory when targets can be reached by land? Never.

I assume it's a combination of available fleets, coupled with player hatred. But exactly why they're sailing for me, rather than attack the juicy Epeirote cities this time... It's a mystery.

Good times!

Have you switched to BI.exe? Installed the victory conditions mini mod?

I have only ever seen naval invasions after switching over to BI.exe.

Also, where's your situation going?

I experienced something similar in a KH campaign, I think. The carthies made a 4 stack invasion into Italy... I had to rescue the Romans (I want Phalangitai some day, after all!), though of course the Greek cities of south Italy were liberated ;)
I think I even made some screenshots of it...

I had a very similar situation too when I played as either of the Gallic factions with BI. Carthage just kept sending full stack naval invasions practically every turn to take Tolosa once I had secured it (but not earlier). Though would even walk through the whole of Italy, while at war with the SPQR, only to attack me, their ally, at Tolosa.

Nothing like that has ever happened to me in the RTW or ALX exes, though.
