In my current game, Pacal came up to tell me how Harun al-Rashid was going to launch a sneak attack. Arabia being on the far side of the other continent, I shurgged it off. Then a few turns later a load of caravels and camel archers came sailing by. I moved a Frigate and a Sea Beggar to their vicinity and they dispersed harmlessly back to a nearby Arabian colony.
I was almost impressed.
