I am playing my first game of Endless Legend ever and currently on Post and Beam. I need to make sure there are no armies in my region for 5 turns but there is a roaming army that embarked onto inland waters the second it spawned near the beginning of the game as its village is on the only passable tile adjacent to the water. I keep killing everything that appears as part of the Wild Walkers quest but dont have the expansion allowing water battles only the guardians expansion because I wanted to give the game a chance/potentially wait for a sale before buying $100 worth of game. Looking through forums this seems to be an old problem. I'm hoping theres been a fix in the six years since the game came out because I was hoping to do the main questline and build the wonder at the end as that seemed like a unique fun playstyle. Any advice would be appreciated as I've spent the past 25-30 turns with roaming armies spawning and unable to progress in my quest line because I can't kill the roaming army. I've been really enjoying the game and was looking forward to likely trying the other expansions and humankind in the future but this has definitely put a sour note on my first experience with the game and studio. Hoping its just something stupid I'm doing as a first time player. Thanks in advance for any help. 

This seems to work and fix the issue.  Thank you for the quick reply and solution.  Never really used mods in games before but this one is really intriguing.  I appreciate all the hard work you put into it.  You did a great job.  Now I just need to decide whether to use the vanilla patch with it or not.  

For what it's worth: Most players, as they get more experienced, notice some glaring balance issues in the Vanilla game sooner or later. There are some players, that think balance should be as the devs orginally intended, but I think you can make the case, that after 2 years of work my patch and balancing approach has proven itself to be measured and overall an improvement. I would recommend ELCP without the Vanilla patch any day.
