    Re: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

    Too hard? Hmm... they just patched the game to make it harder. In the vanilla release, I was swimming in cash playing on VH.
  2. Re: Is there a reliable way to get rid of bad traits?

    There is a big difference between the fiscal handicap and good econ traits. Sure, once you're in mid-to-late game those do not matter anymore as you're likely swimming in cash.

    Any serious, good competition to CA?

    Not sure this is the right forum for my question, but here it is. Does anyone know of any serious competition to CA in their old genre (as opposed to the "new", Warhammer-like games) of history based...
  4. Re: I knew there was something wrong with VH/Leg battles!

    That battle difficulty slider is broken. VH campaign/Normal battles results in the AI still getting the VH battle morale bonuses (+10 to moralet). At least, that bonus is visible (can read it off...

    I tend to join Dwarves (can trade with them) in their wars against Orcs (cannot trade with) on the first turn. Over time, especially if I carry out some hostile actions against Orcs, this adds some...

    It is not your mod causing this. I've seen the same. Routers gain control over the gates in vanilla game too. They also sometimes are able to capture towers while routing... Even when not routing,...
  7. Re: Very Hard/Legendary Is not challenging: it is excruciatingly annoying

    Just use ambush stance to lure the raider army closer. You probably won't ambush them, but they are likely to stop somewhere where you can catch them.

  18. Re: Emirate of Cordoba (CHA campaign) - strategies and ideas

    It is possible. Asturias are highly likely to go for a NAP and trade on turn 1. From there, joining some war of theirs or dragging them into a war of your own can go a long way to secure an alliance....
  19. Re: Anti-corruption buildings not working (Cordoba)?

    I once built my Cordoba to a large size very fast (got around 70% corruption), and the anti-corruption courts helped a lot to reduce the said corruption rate to around 50% (in provinces with...
  20. Re: Age of Charlemagne owners : what is your take on the "new game features" ?

    I have yet to see any effect of war weariness. Won one campaign as Cordoba (very hard difficulty) and another one as Asturias/Spain (legendary): never once war weariness affected me.
  21. Re: Emirate of Cordoba (CHA campaign) - strategies and ideas

    One thing of note is that in Charlemagne you want as much contiguous territory as possible (no far-flung colonies). Corruption goes up very fast (and, it seems, it is not capped as in Attila with the...

    Charlemagne campaign corruption cap

    Did I read it wrong (in the patch notes) that corruption has been capped at 60% with Charlemagne release? In my Cordoba campaign, I see it at 65% and creeping higher.
  24. Re: Emirate of Cordoba (CHA campaign) - strategies and ideas

    80% and above are hard to maintain. I believe the "equilibrium" influence is the fraction of the total influence each religion takes. So, using what you mention (assuming no other religions present):...
