Sneaky Invasion Armies

[Deathchant]

Good day all!

Not sure if anyone else has had this occur, im not even 100% sure how it happened but in my Gondor VH/VH campaign am invasion was called on Edoras within the first 15 turns. I naturally positioned forces to hold Haraad and Mordor at bay and sent an army north to Edoras to assist Rohan, yet, Haraad maraculously appeared at Edoras within a turn of my meager force arriving with a full, experienced stack. They had not traveled through Gondor's territory as i was watching everywhere and they did not pass E Osgilieth.....

Edoras was of course lost and within a few decades Rohan destroyed, much to my dismay as i am of the opinion i need them to succeed, therefore i had to start a new campaign....

Also at the start of my campaign the 'watch AI moves' shows me a brief glimpse of a Ootmm army moving North to Edoras within the first few turns?

Are 'evil faction' stacks starting scattered throughout Middle Earth from the start?

use toggle_fow and you will see where they are and what way they take...

As Invasion armies move more (just like crusading armies in Vanilla), they are extreme quick in TA:TW. Maybe they have just passed your territory in one turn, or attacked from the east so you could not see them.
If you're using toggle_fow, you should turn follow AI movement off, but if you do not use the map cheat, you should always follow their movement (and skip situations like this)
