When I played Romani, Quastasdastim kept landing stacks of their weak-ass levy hoplites right next to Roma, and Koinon Hellon and Epeiros kept landing troops near Taras and Arpi. Never seemed to happen like that with RTW exe ai. When I played as KH, at first the Ptolemaics were landing troops near Demetrias and Korinth and attacking Makedon, but then they attacked Kydon as well. And Rhodos got sieged frequently (probably because I kept a very small garrison there) by Makedons and Seleukids. I didn't really notice much difference with land locked factions though. Hope that helps.

Well the Ptolomies did have a major influence in Greece and Kydonia and Rhodos, so even though I've experienced this myself, I see it as just an attempt for them to gain control of a major trading center (Rhodos/Kydonia, even though its not a major trading center, its a good staging point for invasions of greece)
