Great Milan empire but it seems like Rome is a thorn in your belly. Conquer it! And kill the pope!

I hadn't noticed that, great indeed, I think I'll play as Milan someday, to conquer, the map bloody nice with all those green territories.

Good strategy of the AI of recruit mercenaries ships

Nice capture.

Well, you could click on it and see what kind of ship it is, I presume. If it's a mercenary galley, the mercenary explanation works. If it's a dhow or war galley, that's rather inexplicable. (Bug? Weird AI-only recruitment trick?)

i just continue the campaign this morning, and i found that recruit a galley mercenary in dead sea or other landlocked water area is impossible
so, this is clearly bug

It is mercenary ships, I've seen lots of them in a campaign I fought Egypt as the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
