Hi all! I'm a beginner player with a few dozen hours in the game. I just started building a naval fleet and a few questions hit me. First of all, why are frigates from friendly nations attacking me?? I'm "Friendly" with Babylon, and yet I get Babylonian frigates sinking my privateers all the time. Secondly, I had a stack with frigates and privateers in the same tile, and somehow it was one of my privateers that responded first to the attack. Shouldn't it have been the stronger unit I had available? Lastly, and this is the weirdest one, I could not attack back. The Babylonian frigate that sunk my privateer was right there in the next tile, but when I tried to send one of my own frigates against it... it just stacked itself into the tile?? How do I fight back?? Thank you all for reading. Please help me figure this mess out
Edit: I think I answered my own questions... from what I gather, privateers count as "nationless" so they don't count as your units even if you control them, and other nations don't recognize them either...
