Casse on Mainland

[seleucid empire]

Has anyone else ever seen casse make their way to mainland gaul without the players help?

In my Saba campaign I took off the FOW and I nearly choked when I saw this:



to be clear I am not playing BI and I have never seen casse do a naval invasion

[kidpacific]

There is a Casse landing script section in the EBBS.script, Although i haven't seen this scene.

[seleucid empire]

A landing script? Really? When does it trigger? What causes it? In all my campaigns I have never seen this

[d'Arthez]

Could be a case of the actual landing script in the opening post.

Check EBBS, section Section 8p: Casse Landing

The Casse landing occurs when the Casse AI holds all the British and Irish provinces and Bratosporios is held by a different faction, a small fleet and army get spawned to involve the Casse in the mainland.

[Blxz]

This happens occasionally. I've seen it, even got photo's somewhere from the first time I saw it.

I still reckon the price of ships deters the Ai from building them and using them for landings. I know they do them occasionally in vanilla (especially the romans) but almost never in EB.

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Check to see which faction "owns" Bagacos. Possibly the Romans took it and it rebelled to the Casse.

event trigger requirements:
the Casse AI holds all the British and Irish provinces and no other province;
Bratosporios is held by a different faction;
the Casse AI is wealthy enough;
the celt reform accurs;
If all the requirements have been met, the event has a small probability to trigger at the start of each turn until it accurs.

event effect:
a small fleet and army get spawned to involve the Casse in the mainland;
50000 gold is removed from Casse AI treasury;
a naval_harbour is placed on Ictis if it doesn't exsit

Why i have never seen it:
There are several requirements for this event and even all the requirements have been met, the event only has a small probability to trigger at the start of each turn.

[Basileus_ton_Basileon]

Maybe I should post my screenies, then. In my current Romaioi Barbaroi Campaign, the Casse have effectively become the third faction in Gaul, shoving Aedui south and Averni east.

[vollorix]

Reminds me somehow on vanilla, when Britons where wiping the floor with Germans and Gauls. I used to hate to fight against their troops, especially their generals on those badass chariots, especially terrible in autocalc on "VH" ^^

[Basileus_ton_Basileon]

they're doing just that in my campaign. Granted, it's probably because of the realistic movement mod, along with the entire income from the whole of britain and ireland.

[Frtigern]

I once saw Eburonum (the city surrounded by rebel fullstacks) controlled by Casse. I swear upon this. I was exploring with my spy and lo and behold a blue banner in the middle of eastern Europe! It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. I came back a little later and the Casse city was once again rebel. Perhaps the neighboring Romans and battles with them had something to do with it. It will remain a mystery to me forever.

[moriluk]

I am not sure what mod is causing this or if it is the BI.exe but sometimes I see multiple casse FMs spawn in Eborunum with garrisons of slingers attached. Strange is that the casse FM bodyguards are also slingers. After about 80+plus years a large army of slingers finally merges as one and starts taking land.

Other than that, I have seen casse on rare occasions come to the mainland & endlessly declaring war and immediately ceasefire with Aedui.

edit:
Now that I have read other posts I think what Frtigern saw was resulted from what I am seeing. And per Basileus_ton_Basileon I have extended my movement points, but not all the way to 'realistic'. THough I do not know how movement points would spawn Casse FM's with slinger bodyguards.

2nd edit:
out of curiousity I turned on my current romani campaign and see no casse armies in Eborunum. This particular set up I have left of the extended offices mod which I usually use. But again, I do not see how that mod would spawn Casse armies with incorrect bodyguards outside of Briton.

[Frtigern]

I am using EB modded for ALX.exe with extended movement mod. I did not get to see what kind of Casse army was occupying Eborunum as my spy was not good enough. That would be even stranger to see if it was a slinger army and general!
