I wouldn't mind playing as the Burgundians - they were a major player in central and western Europe for most of the medieval age, so it's a shame they weren't considered important enough to be added....

An interesting proposal :cool:
I might consider signing up - hasn't spent too much time fighting human opponents, but it's always nice to test your mettle.

The best way to quickly remove an inquisitor is to send an assassin after him. However, the risk is great, since if your assassin gets caught, you're automatically excommunicated.
You can also just...

I don't mind things like that.
As others have pointed out, there are factors that allows generals to reach extreme levels of survivability, and it makes sense that they would have that bonus.
Also,...

I adopt all the time.
Mostly, I base the decision on how loyal they are; if they have more than 6 loyalty, then I usually accept, unless they have some really bad traits (like "actively disloyal"...

I would go with:
1. Venice - good city roster, with long-range crossbows, strong spearmen, carroccio standard and pike miltia, and good cannons and musketeers later on. In the bigger citites you can...

Never gone with Only gunpowder, but I do like to experiment with battery armies, which are armies with a large amount of cannons - basically bringing napoleonic warfare into the medieval era.
Those...

The "religion" bar simply shows you how many percent of the population in the region that belong to either of the present religious beliefs - just hover your mouse over them to see the exact...

I would recommend allowing them to attack - a sally-out is just sheer suicide. Maybe if you have no other option (last turn after being starved), then attack and try to take some of them out, but...

Maybe you're keeping your kingdom too small - the AI is more likely to leave you alone if your faction is small (and as long as you don't control any regions that the other factions typically go for,...

Oh, yeah, you're right, it was in Zagreb.
I was also thinking about the mines in the Vienna region - they're also very valuable.

Oh, yeah, Zagreb´s gold mines are amazingly valuable too.
But there is another, solitary one, further south and up in the middle of the mountains, that I was talking about.
Like I said, I think...

Isn't it silver in Stockholm, though?

Besides the ones mentioned, you can usually get a lot of money from the marble mines in northern Italy, and the wine spots in France - though they are so...

Fellow intrepid roleplayer here, asking: Why shouldn't he be able to be both strict and fair?
He can be a guy who, as a governor, spends a lot of money on increasing law and order in the settlement...

I prefer Venice as my favorite, since they have a very well balanced and varied roster - strong basic militia, with pikes and halberds readily available, and also a nice mix of different heavy...

Since I like zooming in a lot, I´ve noticed that the rotten cow ammunition also kills soldiers that are hit directly.
However, it's never more than 1-3 soldiers, and if the shot lands just an inch...

HRE bandwagon :P

The Spanish, Portuguese and Milanese are all also very likely to have ambitions for french land, and can make valuable allies if one finds oneself overwhelmed. Forcing them into a multifront war will...

Hello everyone!
I'm having a bit of a problem playing some of my steam games, and was wondering if anyone here could advice me on the matter.
This is a bit of a story, so please bear with me....

Desertion in crusade armies is caused mainly by two things: slow progress and detours.
Slow progress: your crusade army must move closer to the crusade target every turn, otherwise your troops will...

You'd think it shouldn't be a problem - there doesn't seem to be anything to suggest that there should be any issues with downloading and playing it if you already have the main game. I haven't...

Well, it's difficult to say without knowing the specifics (numbers, troop quality and what the army compositions of the enemy are like), but in general I would say that it's just like conquering any...

I kept killing popes even after that. Damn biased bastard still didn´t reconcile me...
So, eventually the entire catholic world just ran out of priests, and there were no more popes anymore :)

What has been stated is correct - micromanaging the traveling route of a crusading army is the best way to make sure they travel where they´re supposed to.
This is important because a crusade army...

It´s nice when that happens.
But yeah, I think the Hussars have some sort of hidden bonus that makes them less vulnerable when charging. Most cavalry have a certain chance of instantly dying when...

Are you asking for a history lesson?
´Cause that question is a bit broad to answer in full here - what with the major differences in equipment between high-end elite troops and low-level militiamen,...

How can you be that many turns in, and the Americas still aren´t visible?
Well, since England controls more regions with potential for high income than the Byzantines, I`m gonna cast my vote for...

1. Your knowledge on bow mechanics is commendable, although insufficient.
I never said that the composite bow doesn´t have great range, only that A) it wasn´t used for its range, but for the power...

That is a correct assessment.
The mongols didn´t destroy everything in their way, but rather caused devastation in a tactical way, so as to spread fear and make other kingdoms too afraid to dare put...

Wow, this thread on the tactics of a game turned into a historic debate fast o_O
I hope this isn´t going to count as off-topic, but I guess I´ll throw my voice in here...
@Stadironin
The mongols...

I´m guessing you were the one who gifted those regions to the Crusader States, which in combination with your treasury and the size of their neighbors means that you are most likely either the...

I do not believe there is a specific turn, no. Usually it happens somewhere between 1290 and 1310. Just like with the Mongols, there is a set time when they are supposed to appear, but it may...

The invention of gunpowder is heralded by special event, which occurs somewhere during the late 1200s, after which cannon workshops, academic buildings and new types of ports can be constructed....

As has been stated, a good army composition really depend on which faction you´re playing as, and what the army is supposed to do.

The simplest I can come up with would be:
Campaign army (for...

Sure thing, buddy ;)

The bows you´re talking about weren´t used by the Aztecs and their neighbors, but by tribes from the plains further north. To the south, bows with long range were unfavorable because all hunting, as...

For me it´s the Teutonic expansion. The setting, the music, the factions, the units, and of course the unique details (ability to create the Kalmar union, ability to switch religion as Lithuania, the...

While I don´t know the specifics, it seems to me that it should be possible.
After all, AI pikemen always start in spear wall formation, while AI spearmen don´t ever start in schiltrom formation....

Does the "glitch" really not affect all 2-handed troops?
I mean, I get that pikemen aren´t affected, since they use their weapons entirely differently, but polearms, halberds and 2-handed swords are...

Ever? More like Always!
I mostly play vanilla or the kingdoms expansions.
I like a lot of the available mods, but my computer just doesn´t have the capacity to have them all to jump between...
