i just want to point out that the naval ai is still really, really bad. I was playing a game as riga-kurland and there werent many decent allies available to me after i became protestant. anyway, GB was the only one that was willing, so i allied the bastid. I was hoping that things had improved, but alas, they only improved a tiny bit. While GB is finally starting to make transports, it still has mofoking down syndrome straight up.

GB had 40+ troops on top of all of my troops and my vassals' (25-30), together we had more than enough to defeat the unholy polish-lithuanian alliance, which also included norway. THe problem was, when i peaced out with that little beezy norway after 1.5 years, all the troops GB had in norway went exiled.

Now I thought this might happen, so i waited until at least the majority of GB troops were in my country before i peaced out. What happened next just made me LOL because honestly it was stupid of me to expect anything better than the absolute worst from the big P. the exiled troops proceeded to walk to a port province, which was fine. However, so did all of GBs other troops. THen when its transports finally came, they just picked up the troops that werent even exiled, leaving me to fend for myself even tho GB had the highest level of war enthusiasm.

they even brought back the troops; albeit, after lithuania had been left to diddle the beautiful woman of Kurland for more than 2 years. Not that the troops were enough to save anyone at that point. (i think i had to give part of teuton order to lithuania)


Also, why isnt it possible to move your troops into neighboring countries of your enemies prior to declaration of war without them going exiled anymore? its just stupid. i want answers from the big P, this is just ridiculous and not intuitive at all.
