Almost every time I get into a big war, my enemies tend to send half of their troops, or more to my colonies, instead of sending them to me.
I’m playing as the Netherlands and have two colonies in Northern America.
Usually I don’t notice this, until I receive a message telling me that the Siege of something something in my colony is over.
For instance, I was is a trade-war with my allies Trier and Brunswick against Castille, Aragon, Austria, Wurzburg, Brandenburg and Savoy.
The only I cam across, where those of Wurzburg and Brandenburg and that was, which I thought was strange, because both Aragon and Castille had military access through France.
When the warscore was around 50 in our favour I suddenly received a bunch of Siege messages stating that a few provinces of my colonies were occupied.
I scroll over there and I find the following, 30 units from Castille, 20 units from Aragon and 10 from Savoy, rampaging through my colonies.
I immediately reposition my fleet, and within a few week (or months) I have utterly destroyed the navies of Castille and Aragon, landlocking their units in my colonies.
My own army after that swept through Castille, Savoy and Aragon, and not long after that, peace was declared.
Now my question is, why would they transport most of their troops, halfway across the World, instead of landing their troops in the Netherlands?
