AI Submarines with no AI harbours

  • I had an odd experience I thought I'd share from a Dominion map.


    At war across a river with another player, my fighter reveals 3 submarines. I attack them, because that's what you do with submarines.


    Later, I realize I'm at war with the Ottoman Garrison, because the 3 submarines belong to them, not to the nation I was fighting.


    Less concerned about my lack of attention that led to attacking neutral submarines, and more concerned about the fact that an AI with no harbours had 3 submarines in the first place.


    Does Ottoman Garrison start the Dominion map with submarines? First heard, if so.

  • it is possible that devs spawn them at the beginign of them map to gieve AI some means of protection and oyu will enver xpect no port country to have subs


    for sure it is not for scoutign as AIs see whole map and see what is inside garrisons lvl 5 forts without need for scouting units. this is why they are so good in atatcking empty provs and weakly defended areas they simply scan your troops before making attack
