Declare war, enter enemy territory on same turn = OK ?

What can I say, except that I have triggered MPPs by ending my turn with one military unit inside the enemy borders without any attacking. So there must be something else that attacking that traiggers an MPP.

I see now that I was a bit unclear in my previous post. What I meant is that an MPP is triggered if the entire game turn is ended while you have a unit inside the enemy's borders.

So Mad Bomber: Are you 100% sure that the Russians didn't attack you on the same turn that you entered their territory?

I.e:
1) During your turn you enter Russian territory.
2) During the Russian turn they attack you and trigger the MPP.
3) The game turn ends, and now your units would have triggered the MPP if Russia had not already done so.

So if you have an enemy unit in your territory for an entire turn it triggers an MPP??.... very interesting.... I will have to give this some further study. Of course, how often do you declare war and the AI does not attack you? This could be useful info for MP however.

This is apparently correct. I was just playing as the Vikings, I had an MPP w/ the Babs and declared war on the Iroquois. The Iroquois unit moved toward one of my injured units, but never attacked. After he was in my territory for 1 turn, the Babs declared war on them.

I thought that 'fighting' of some sort had to take place to trigger MPP's, but I guess not. Perhaps just the presence of troops is an 'act of war'.

I do not believe this is true. Testing is in order, but from personal experience fighting is required.
