Thread: Does the AI blockade ports?
Having played the game several times, I have yet to see the AI blockade any ports. Has anyone seen this happen?
It would seem to me that the AI should be doing a lot more of this as it is an easy effective tactic.

yes I have seen it 2 times only when playing as Romans.
It's happened to me a grand total of once.
I am in my 4th unfinished campaign and I haven't seen it yet.
Most of the time the AI doesn't even try to remove my blockade even when it has plenty of boats to accomplish the task. But if I start sinking boats it will apply full force to kill my fleet.

Spain has blockaded two of my ports so far in one campaign, most recently Narbo Something (can't remember the full name) while playing as the Julii h/h, around year 245 BC. Both times it was while we were neutral to each other, the most recent just about immediately after they agreed to a ceasefire. The embarrassing thing is, I didn't have a fleet with enough ships to challenge the most recent blockade for another couple of turns. Luckily I just finished building my first shipwright at that time so I was finally able to build some triremes and end their constant harrassment of my troop-carrying fleets.

Never seen it initiate nor break a blockade.
Ive seen it a few times, mostly from Spain
I had an alliance/trade rights with them and out of nowhere they blockade Palam, thus starting a war, then the next turn remove the blockade and sail away and I never hear from them again... resourceful dont you think?

Yes they do and they will try to lift the blockades unfortanately they rarely ever have there big fleets in there own waters.
Its only happened to me as the Romans, that's about it. I'm now the Spartans, and we have the mighteiest fleet that sails of over 60 ships. 
In a cluster that is.
In a cluster that is.I've had the AI blockade my ports. Sometimes, they do it like the Italians and Sicilians attacking your ships in MTW. They have nothing to gain, they just do it out of spite. Case in point, I have an alliance with the Greeks as Pontus. They blockade one of my ports in the eastern Aegean. It's not a good idea declaring war on me considering they're outnumbered by me in the east of the Aegean and they're fighting the Brutii in their own homeland. Needless to say, I captured both of their eastern Aegean possessions.
