Please fight to the death!?

so I'm at war with Spain and he lands his pathetic leaderless 5k stack on my territory so I think, "These poor guys will pay for his annoying blockade". But I simply can't engage them!! I've been chasing the stack around a cross several provinces!

I've seen the same thing happens with navies, but I just thought that it was a game mechanism, cuz' navies entering a 100.000 km2 area shouldn't find each other on the same day they enter the area.

Is this a bug or did I miss some gameplay rule??

Those troops are exiled. He can't attack or siege you but you also can't engage him. He first has to enter a province controlled by him. Exiled troops are marked by a black square, which you can see in the screenshot. Just ignore them.

lol just find it out my self. Thanks for the reply.

His troops are exiled (black flag), they cannot engage in battle until they have returned to friendly teritory. Happens when you declare peace and still have troops in enemy land for example.

And yes, it has been like this for a long time.

The black flag means that they are exiled and cannot no anything untill they enter friendly lands or a transport.

Is that black square a placeholder graphic? Because in my opinion it doesn't fit.

 

[Zqrfmb]

the AI tries to land exiled armies?

You sure they landed those troops? Transports remove exile status so if they came from them that would be a bug.
