My territory has been invaded at two points by a neighbor with whom & am at peace without transit rights. There is no war declared, surprise or otherwise. How is this possible?
Invasion without being at war?

Approved the thread. -
check the newspaper. was it a revolt from the province?
-
No it wasn't a revolt. I'm East Libya. On turn 2 my neighbor West Libya invaded two of my provinces while we were at peace. War was not shown in the Diplomacy routine until they actually attacked the town in the first province.
My understanding is that war is declared when the invading force first enters my province. Is this correct or not?
-
Further to my post. The province is Marble Arch
-
no, you dont need to declare war to attack someone, and war will occur when someone declares it, or when units clash / take land
-
So war does occur when units enter my territory. It occurs onlyn when those units attack my units?
Why then does a war warning appear anytime I draw a unit path into another player's territory? The warning indicates that if I enter that territory there will be war.
-
are you referring to this warning?, or one thats slightly difference
-
Yes, that's it.
-
its basically saying that it may cause a war as most of the time it can only be seen as offensive, so another player may retaliate
-
So to clarify: If I enter the territory of a nation with whom I am at peace this does not trigger a war until I actually attack something. Correct?
-
yeah. in which newspaper will say you started the war. regardless if it was not you whom attacked first. so you gain the morale debuff of an undeclared war
