Hi, It's the second time I play a R&P campaign and both times I felt the ai is way too passive on the campaign map, have you feel the same?
I mean, I don't remember a single time the AI attacked/invaded me, and they just sit there waiting tl get their asses kicked.
both times I've played with Byzantium, and I can share my experiencd in both campaigns:
On the first one, I've played over 100 turns, conquering much of Turkey and reducing them to a vassal state, without them getting their hands dirty, not even a maradauring army. They happily accepted most (if not all) my demands. While this isn't bad per se, I did expect some resistance from Byzantines' nemesis. Then, I lauched and invasion to the kingdom of sicily, and I was able to take Brindisi I believe and Naples. To be honest,y army wasn't even that big. (maybe a half stack or more but not more than one army) and they didn't attack me. I then engaged in diplomatic talks, and don't remember what we agreed.
I was at war at some point with Venice, Sicily, various muslim states and the cuman khanate. Not even a raid I remember.
My current campaign isn't different the turks, not even tried to take any settlement and looked for peace. I demanded to give me Iconium and they agreed. Sorry It was Caesarea not Iconium. nevertheless I was amazed since I didn't believe they were going to accept, as the treaty status was 'very demaning". So, in resume, I've played 20+ turns and I've only fought rebels.
does it matter I am the greatest nation of the game? I really dodn't understand medieval 2 gameplay on this regard, since I'm not used to it for I usually play rtw instead.
Difficulty was m/m or h/m for the first campaign and vh/m for the second one
