So the AI is programmed to attack land areas, but to a much lesser extent areas oversea. I think it has to do with the complexity of using boats to drop armies. In MTW this was easier and you saw a lot more long distance invasions by the AI.
Well, i my game playing Scipii the Julii and the Brutii have been at war with Gaul and Greece since the beginning of the game and did exacly nothing like the first poster said, even though those are the ONLY factions they bordered. The Julii actually sailed west and conqured Orca(?) in spain and sardinia but didn't even touch the Po valley. The Brutii just camped their massive armies outside of apollonia, pacing back and forth. Both faction did have large navies though, after Egypt attacked me. Maybe they're just concentrating on naval or something.
