Initially, I got some full stacks. But once I'd actually beaten the Qarthadastim, then it was this constant stream of 3-4 unit armies. Pointless and annoying.

It was that way in my last game except with Sicily. This time around invasions were much less common but almost always consisted of a full stack.

I'd be playing it, if the game didn't CTD from installing the city mod (well, at least that darth's mod was compensation).

I see BI.exe and the unrelenting naval invasions as a means to encourage players to build a real navy and battle the carthaginians at sea. much of the punic wars were fought in the seas between sicily and north africa, and if you spend the dimes on a real navy, and keep an eye on when the enemy is loadin their boats, then you will actually be able to keep the invasions on corisica at bay.

in other words... if you use bi.exe, and play as rome, you MUST BUILD A NAVY. In RTW.exe you could play the entire game and not have to keep a standing navy as rome.

Problem is auto-calc is screwed up on Hard or Very Hard campaign difficulty. Which means naval battles are screwed up. Nothing more annoying than Qarthadastim fives sinking everything you send against them, regardless of numbers.

I'm using it but I haven't find the time to start a new campaign ...

This is even worse when you´re Qarthadastim. I´ve seen a single Oneraria (the worthless merchant ships) sink two fives. That´s just ridicolous.
