Indian navy (Chola) in Tyrrhenian Sea AUC 456. Impressive! [WAD?]

I've noticed quite a few distant navies like to camp out there. I've seen British tribals, Mauryan expeditionary fleets, Scythians, even the occasional Germans. Does anyone know if AI has naval attrition turned off but pretends like it doesn't here too, like in EU4? Would explain it, 'cause Indians and Germanics in particular should be dead from attrition long before they get there.

Thanks! I understand AI naval doesn't use attrition. Fair enough, but perhaps in return the AI should be a more discreet in abusing its immunity?

Probably an AI spasm anyway - what's it even doing out there? Hiding from invading Mauryas?

I think that this happens when an AI nation (Chola in this case) losses all its ports, but it still has territories. Because they don't have a port, they don't know where to park the fleet, so it navigates without directions through the world.

Yeah, that'd makes sense.

Not bad, if only there was a timer and after some time they would start an event chain like the Greek explorer.

Another neat thing would be having them set up shop in a port as a Pirate Fleet - dynamically adding them to the game as it progressed. This could also be done for Legions (or even raised levies) surviving the demise of their parent country, though that would require drastically lowering the number of starting mercs or giving us a way to remove them like we currently can pirates, through events or laws.

... In fact I'll draft up a suggestion for that when done with the day.

EDIT: That has now been done, suggestion can be found here.

Admiral of the Chola fleet:
Hey we just lose our last port, might as well use our remaining ships to explore the world.

No naval attrition for AI? Yeah, Seleukids making naval invasion in Thrace to circumvent my walling them off from Antigonids and Romans dropping an army to besiege my holdings in Persia while Magna Graecia and Italy burned...

I would have them destroyed if the owner loses all his ports. But the pirate solution is pretty nice too. Maybe limit them to the region where they came from so they don't show up in the other side of the world.
