So, after around 60 years of in game time, I get my first adventurer as the King of Leon (and a bunch of other places don't mind them) I may have taken a couple of north african kingdoms, but I had killed all the people who had claims to them, so no biggie, right?

Wrong.

So, this hurufu guy (for some reason the islamic heresies have gotten really big in this game despite 96% sunni MA and 78% Shia) in Bahrein has decided to go and kill my troops and take my stuff. No biggie, despite the fact that I can raise at most 8k men (probably shouldn't have taken most of north africa at once) and I'm broke, so no mercs. Well, not really broke. I have enough money to kill the lad.

But I go over and what do I see, but somehow my spymaster has gotten drunk and refuses to go past Baghdad. Even though Bahrein is inside the same country as Baghdad

So paradox, why can a guy start an invasion against you from outside this arbitrary range but you have no recourse of defence against this?
 
You're in his range. Just like you can reach the ruler or whoever owns bagdad and bahrain. You're in a weir rare situation where you're in range and he's not.
But I don't understand quite how it's working. My Capital is in Tunis and I'm getting an adventurer for Morocco/Mauritania (whatever it is, I renamed it Morocco and now can't remember the real name) in what possible way am I not in range to kill him
