Chieftain
Had a good game in the new patch. Alexander and Bismark were both neighbours, so there were frequent wars. In the end I couldn't hold them off (on Emperor), but it was a fun game.
Alexander had conquered Sweden, and in a brief upper hand in my war with him I conquered the Greek city of Uppsala, and liberated it. This was a surprisingly useful tactic: the Greek units were expelled from the new Swedish territory. I had open borders with Sweden and Alexander did not, so my units got some welcome breathing room to heal.
The battle continued around Uppsala, but I was a bit confused by the combat rules when fighting in lands of a third party. It seemed Alex could attack my units in Sweden from the air, even though he wasn't at war with Sweden and didn't have an open-borders treaty. I *think* he could hit my units with range as well (cannons). But it seemed I was immune from melee attacks across the border, although I could attack with impunity.
Anyone know what the exact rules are?
