Thanks for complementing/correcting mighty Cambyses - it is all but the most obvious and important things that do not find their way in paper

In addition to what Cambyses II says, fleets "guarding" home coasts prevent fleets of other factions to "see" the coastal province ie they act as counterspies in a way.

It follows that if one has a long coastline it always pays off to protect it - since factions with strong navy can access you virtually from anyplace.

The Almohads are particulalry vulnerable in that respect, especially since fleets tend to cluster in and around Gibraltar.
