EB RTW.exe Naval Invasions-Oh yes they do

[/Bean\]

Yeah, but in Vanilla ships cost, like, 300 Dinarii? Every faction with a port had several full stacks of ships and it just got annoying. Hopefully EBII can get a good balance between the two

plus in vanilla, the ships were indestructible, you had to chase them all around the sea, playing air hockey with them, to eventually destroy them

In my current Epiros camapaign (my last KH one sadly suffered a fatal CTD), I chased the ai KH out of Greece, and left them with only Rhodes, and made peace. Imagine my surprise, when less than 10 yrs later, my roving diplomat finds they have taken half of Anatolya, and have 6 cities! (Hali, Sardis, Perg etc, etc.)

Most (if not all) of these troops must have come from Rhodes, excepting Mercs.

The point being, when I conquered them, they had no mainland troops or Generals left. They must have all come by ship.

EDIT: On the point of ships, go back and play RTW or even RTR anyone for a while, and you'll realise that EB gets it right. Because ships were available anywhere/cheaply with the afforementioned, it got damn tedious and annoying PLUS, it led to that well known ai bug/behaviour, where it DOW on you just because you have an undefended port.

If you gave the ai more/cheaper ships of any kind, you'd just get this happening again. And you really don't want that do you?

Uh,actualy Drewski, that probably resulted from rebelling cities in Asia Minor, and the resulting forces taking the poorly defended regions of the Seleukids...happens frequently.

Ah yes, there is that option too...hadn't thought of that

The only naval invasions I've ever seen are my current game as Rome in BI.exe. The Ptolies seized Rhodes and Chalkis, and I've had KH attacking Kyrene and occasionally landing a stack at Tarantum.

Archimedes you suckas!! I play alex.exe, the best .exe for EB!!!!

Naval invasions happen to me all the time, the first one being a full-stack of Makedonians attacking my Epriotes on mainland Hellas in 268 BC!!!
