In future games try to create artificial borders by:

The problem with any of these is that these problems start to happen around turns 15-20 and I don't have enough money (to make enough armies, pump-up defenses or build fortifications). Playing Jotunheim I usually get defenses to 5-10 everywhere, 20+ in important provinces. It works against annoying "call something" spells from AI and minor raiders, but it does nothing against strong army. I'm wondering if building "el cheapo" armies and keeping them in border provinces for apperances could help.


Furthermore try to develop some armies that can move fast, so they can respond to an intruder.

I have quick armies to respond which can take care of AI invasion, but I don't have enough of them to deal with 3-4 invasions at the same time. Besides, sometimes it's hard to catch AI army.
