First poland attacks me out of no where like wtf? i dominate them and i was makin 10k+ a turn and had 60k+

i LOST ALL of that recruiting merc's all over because it just snowballed out of control and i went into a state of constant war

after beating back poland milan decides to attack berns. I beat them back f,rance decides to attack metz i beat them back , norway decides to attack hamburg heroic victory, them out of there..... Danish decide to join the fray i raged and sent my king all the way taking 3-4 of their cities wiping them out nearly THEN RUSSIA attacks me russia? really? out of no where to.

war with 6-8 people and the pope decides herpherp ima call a crusade i couldn't even ignore it because my crosses were low.

i got into a full blown war with milan killing the doge his hier and 3 other full stacks. they only have 3 cities. 2 turns later 2 full stacks with new doge and heir comes........ i went from trustworthy to untrustworthy from executing everyone because they kept coming back 2 turns later with full stacks.

/END RANT i had to start a new game because it got out of hand i was going into debt recruiting merc's -.-

i was at war on 3 fronts from turn 11 all the way to turn 60 with maybe 2 allies

Why does the ai come back after you dominate their armys? having my gothic knights attacked by urban mils every 1-2 turn just got annoying i had full gold stacks of knights due to this ******** but couldn't use them besides defending on every front. ]]> Medieval II: Total War General Discussion iloveyourz http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?601250-where-the-hell-all-these-stacks-come-from where the hell all these stacks come from? http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?601249-where-the-hell-all-these-stacks-come-from&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 05:50:10 GMT playing hre i know its tough but jesus christ First poland attacks me out of... playing hre i know its tough but jesus christ

Hello guys, I have been playing medieval custom campaign mod 2. which is bascially the same game as vanilla except slight alterations, such as timurids & mongols playable faction.

The problem I seem to be having is after around 100 turns it appears half the factions stop expanding and just seem to sit about doing absoultly nothing, Is this due to my preffered difficulty setting?,
I usually play medium as I read somewhere that all the AI are less likely to go out their way to attack gang up on you.

The main problem I feel through my Milan campaign is that England refuse to expand, scotland still only hold 1 piece of land & Denmark are acting pretty clueless too.

All other countries near the mediterranean & towards the middle east seem to prefer naval combat as opposed to Land.

They just love to declare war by blockading a port on say ajjarcio just to be my enemy,

Does anyone have a solution?, would playing on hard/very be a better idea?


On a last note; Is there anyway to stop auto building & unit training completely E.G You have a castle you have just sacked and without a governor My own AI build everything under the sun crushing my economy I know too un tick the build boxes but is there another way? instead of having to un tick each new piece of land?

Most units get shredded by naffatun projectiles. The 2HP Forlorn Hope does better, but is not immune to naffatun projectiles, even though the Forlorn Hope has stats similar to those of the Canon.

So my question is: from what does the Canon's immunity to naffatun projectiles derive. Is it a hidden property of the unit? ]]> Medieval II: Total War General Discussion Aeratus http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?600980-Canon-s-immunity-to-naffatun-projectiles <![CDATA[Mount&Blade: Total War]]> http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?600839-Mount-amp-Blade-Total-War&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 00:43:32 GMT I'm not sure if this has been posted here yet, and I don't think that's the official title of the project (just made it up), but there's been a guy posting updates on Reddit on this mod he's working on.

So in my Portugal campaign (SS 6.4), I happen to click on my capitol and see this:



I've seen a few generals and kings make it to their 80s, but this is the first I've seen one make it to 90. I'm pretty certain he married into the family while he was still in his teens, so this guy is practically older than dirt. He was a city dweller his whole life, save for sallies during a couple sieges, so that probably contributed to his extremely long life. Tragically, he died on the next turn :( So yeah...how old was your oldest general?


(If anyone's wondering why I'd barely expanded any over 100+ turns, I'm taking this campaign at a very leisurely pace) ]]> Medieval II: Total War General Discussion Kataphractos http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?600800-Your-oldest-general Best Mod For M2 http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?600794-Best-Mod-For-M2&goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 19:22:32 GMT This is probably already a thread.

I think England vs. Poland would be pretty fun. Very different ways of fighting -- a defensive, entrenched, long-ranged infantry-focused combat style vs. an offensive, maneuverable cavalry-focused combat style with a mix of medium-range skirmishing and hard-hitting charging. ]]> Medieval II: Total War General Discussion Maklodes http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?600709-Favorite-faction-matchup-duel-(English-vs-French-Moors-vs-Spanish-Byzantines-vs-Turks-etc) So I lost my copy http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?600631-So-I-lost-my-copy&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 17:29:08 GMT Of the main disc of Medieval 2 total war, witch blows because last week I...
