You can't walk through a province with an enemy fort that you haven't captured, no?

Yeah, but my point was that I couldn't seem to leave Byzantium.  I had it under siege and my army there wasn't permitted to move at all.  That seems weird to me.  I guess maybe that fort's ZOC extended into all of the provinces around it, but they were my provinces including Edirne which also has a fort. :hmm:

Could be.  But God seems to have left the side of the Greeks now as I just got done destroying Trebizond, Athens, and the Morea in my game. :)

Ok, this game is on sale for 10 bucks, or I can get the EUIV Collection for 25 bucks, with a bunch of "unit packs". Are they worth it?

What else is in the collection? Cause no, I wouldn't pay $15 for unit packs

It has DLCs too so not a bad buy for an extra $15. Conquest of Paradise, Wealth of Nations, Res Publica.

Ok, decided to "splurge"* on the collection. Thanks guys.

Missed this feeling, losing track of the hours while playing a game. :thumbsup:

Looks like p'dox agreed that their fort/ZOC setup was not very intuitive. New plan announced:

QuoteZone of Control Changes (Free Feature)
The fort rework in 1.12 added a much more strategic element to warfare, but with it came some complicated rules and confusion over what exactly forts were and were not allowed to block. To simplify the system and make it more intuitive, we've decided to make the following changes:
- Forts that have been captured by the enemy will now have a Zone of Control and block movement for enemies of controller.
- Forts now have Zone of Control over any country's provinces (but can only flip control back over your own owned provinces) meaning they can block enemy movement through friendly & neutral land. Movement through a country's own provinces cannot be blocked if a fort from that country is protecting those provinces.
- Provinces can now be in the Zone of Control of multiple forts.
- Moving through Zones of Control should now result in fewer unnecessarily long paths.

In my current game as LOL OTTOMON EMPIRE, I recently conquered Ragusa, which basically had become Bosnia, and all of the sudden Austria, Hungary, Poland, the Pope, etc. (basically everyone in Central Europe) forms a Coalition against me.  Then, I turned East and conquered Iraq and took the rest of the Levant from the Mamluks... and Najd joined that Coalition. :hmm:

How can I 'examine' a Coalition?  When I go to the Diplomacy screen of anyone in it it only says 'In a coalition against Ottomans'.

Anyway, I guess that's it for expansion into the Balkans for a while. <_<

You just want to see who's in it?  There's a map mode that shows that.
