Post-patch AI seaborne invasions

[IPoseTheQuestionYouReturnTheAnswer]

Yup, the AI is definately mounting seaborne invasions, much to my complete, off-guard surprise. As the Turks, the Moors invaded Corsica with a full stack of troops and laid siege to the city. FIguring they'd never be able to touch it, I just left a pathetic garrison of a couple town militia, and when the time came for their assault, I figured the city was screwed.

But I got lucky! They assaulted with two rams and one tower. The towers blew up both rams before they reached the gates, and the siege tower blew up right as it was about to deploy on the wall. With no siege engines left, I wona nd they all drowned. Woohoo!

So yeah, the AI knows how to attack across water now. I gotta watch out..

Another satisfied costumer:

In my campaign as Venice my allies the Papacy landed a small force and took Corinth from Byzantium about ten to fifteen turns after I had seized control over Thessalonica. I know it probably was a coincidence, but it felt really good to see my only ally at the time coming to weaken the byzantines even more! In the same campaign Byzantium then landed a scout-size army on Crete where I had control over Iraklion. Needless to say, my medium-sized garrison had no problem mopping up... It's a very welcome addition to the game!
