Could you please explain the form "invito" here? It seems to be the 1st person ind. act.
Eo opere perfecto praesidia disponit, castella communit, quo facilius, si se invito transire conentur, prohibere possit.
why shouldn't it be the third. pers. plural conjunctive? (they not I)

Ok, I've studied Latin in high school but it was a long time ago :-)
"Conentur" is the third-person plural present subjunctive of "conor" (to attempt, try).
"Se invito" is the so-called "ablative absolute" (here using a pronoun plus an adjective). It can be translated as "against his will", or more literally as "he (being) unwilling".
Hope it helps,
tano
