Attacked by Independents -without Event?

Is this a weird bug or can it legally happen?

I conquered a province from Caelum, and *that very turn* I was attacked in the just conquered land by a strong Indy force, who wiped out a valuable army (30 units).

There was *no* event message, no explanation for the attack at all.

Since when can Indies attack?

They are supposed to behave passively and wait for the player to choose the right time and place to kill them!!

And once killed, they are not supposed to reappear.

Perhaps Caelum got the event message, since they owned the province at the start of the turn, and you got the event, since you owned it at the end ?

I have seen indies attack provinces on several occasion, but I believe you get a message in addition to the battle report.

This is most likely what happened, I have seen this happen several times. I get an even with indeps attacking, then an enemy nation attacks and steals the province, then the indeps attacks the enemy. All in the same turn.

Yup, I think that�s the only logical explanation.

That�s the trouble with nations who can�t keep their house in order, and suddenly innocent people taking their provinces away from them get attacked by anarchists! What is the world coming to?

a ritual maybe.
not sure a global enchantment or a standard ritual. illusion-army/ghost ship/ghost rider or something like would cause this: a indy force attacked your province w/o event message.
