New Player Question --How am I Getting Flanked?

Ah, yes I forgot about sneaking armies. I suppose that could be it though I'm surprised they were able to sneak two 50+ unit armies to two different provinces on the same turn.

Personally, I think it's more likely it was astral travel. From what I've seen, the AI usualy doesn't make much use of deep-striking flying armies or sneaking armies.

On the other hand, I've never seen them use Astral Travel either, but it is Pythium, who has far easier access to high-level astral magic than they do sneakers or fliers, so that seems most likely.

Do you have to have units on patrol to find stealthers or is there a default chance as well?

A bought province defense of 10 or higher has some chance of detecting sneakers, but I think patrolling armies are much better at it.
