AI unable to use ships for transports;

[Calavera]

Yes.

With 1.1 applied the ai will regularly launch naval invasions.

If anything, they do it a bit too much.

True. In my last game as Portugal I was under constant threat from invasions by Sicily, and both England and Scotland landed big stacks in the north, although it was 10-15 turns before they did anything other than stand there.

Oddly, I don't think the ai uses them for Crusades & Jihads. Or at least thats my explanation for seeing the Moors launching a Jihad on Constantanople, and then trying to get there by marching on a path through France, Italy & the Balkans. Must have needed the exercise...

What files are changed for the Naval Invasion stuff? I'm thinking I might be running the game with a modified prepatch file, thus not having the naval AI of the patch...

Hi all,
Playing as Spain on M/M (first time playing any TW game) and I took Corsica and Sardinia around turn 35 or so. On turn 50ish Sicily invaded both islands while I was engaged in a war with the Milanese and Moors. Neither the Moors or Milan has done a naval invasion to date but Sicily seems to re-launch one every time I retake the islands.

I decided to let them camp out their armies on those islands and navally invade Palermo instead, I figure I'm ahead on the deal so far. I haven't been able to focus my full attention on them due to the large armies I have to maintain in Northern Italy, but Milan is almost done so soon I'll be able to focus my full attention on those upstarts.
