I would suggest all crossbows having the same range. One of the advantages of the crossbow was that you could give it to a peasant and he could get as much range or power out of it as a trained...

Cheers for your comments! It's always good to know someone's enjoying it!

Yeah I'm playing Stainless Steel 3.2 with Ultimate AI.

A crusade to the Holy Land is definately on the cards at some...

I think it's due to the fact that you have some unmarried princesses running around. If you can get them married off to other factions or existing generals, your unmarried generals will start getting...

Hope you enjoy the latest update! Any comments or suggestions you have will be really appreciated

Denmark was not the only kingdom to join the crusade against the crumbling Holy Roman Empire. Indeed much of Christendom has joined, eager for a piece of the once great power. As my son...

Interesting idea. I don't remember hearing about them.

You can do something similar if you defending against a sally and use your siege equipment around your position to protect against enemy...

I definately agree with this. If you needed a powerful infantry unit to shore up your lines or to man the walls in a siege you should be able to have your cavalry fight on foot.

Good stuff! Looking forwards to more

I miss all of these things too.

Especially the titles. It helped to give more of a role playing feeling to the game. Even the mods which add titles seem a bit unwieldy.

Crusades though I prefer...

A letter from Morten has been relayed to me by a messenger newly arrived from Ireland:

‘Dearest father,

I write to inform you that I have won a great victory for you by grace of God at...

Sorry about the lack of updates the last week. Work's been very hectic. Should be able to post a new update soon though!

Numio

Some interesting points Gaius julius octavinus.

I think in a way you are confusing an AAR with Fan Fiction.

The goal of an AAR is to tell the story of a campaign or a battle or series of...

I don't remember ever seeing an AAR for any of the muslim factions like Egypt, the Turks and the Moors. I think they would make a good, interesting AAR and something a bit different if you were...

A messenger has arrived from Scotland telling of a great battle fought between Prince Morten and the Scots outside Edinburgh. Morten had only been several months outside Edinburgh besieging...

Definately! This seems like a great idea!

Cheers! It's good to know people are enjoying it! It's actually made me appreaciate the campaign more by taking it slowly and writing some background. Shouldn't be too long till the next update.

The Reign of King Karl

My father Knud never fully recovered from the battle at York. His legendary courage meant that as always he was there where the fighting was thickest, risking his...

My ever dutiful son, Prince Karl has sent news of recent happenings in Denmark. The heresy I expressed concern about has been eradicated by the newly appointed priest of Groningen, Godwin of...

They do make the game a bit harder and Ultimate AI actually make alliances worth having as long as you maintain your reputation.

It's still early days so the battles have only been relatively...

Hope you're enjoying this AAR so far. If anyone has any comments or feedback that'd be great!

Groningen has finally fallen. While the siege was continuing, reinforcements from Norrkoping arrived bringing fresh experienced warriors from the harsh north. These new raiders would be...

I have arrived at the outskirts of Oslow. They sighted me many days ago and the city has been fortified against attack. The castle has been surrounded and cut off from all outside contact. My...

Not particularly. Dates seemed like a logical way to do it seeing as it's an historical game. Why?

Hi I'm beginnning a campaign as the Danes using the latest Stainless Steel Mod and Ultimate AI as well as the latest version of BBB. This is my first attempt at an AAR so any comments and/or...

Is there not even a cheat or console command to change it?

I've been getting very annoyed about the odd, seemingly random and illogical way the computer selects my heir. I want to be able to follow a true line of succession from father to eldest son.

Just wondering how the mod manages to age characters 1 year per turn. I was hoping to mod it for myself to play 2 turns a year and was wondering how to disable the feature. Any help would be great!
...

I was looking to try and add a titles mod to your mod collection. (I'm thinking PTPV which seems the best) Does your collection add any new provinces onto the map or would I just be able to slot this...

Hi I've just bought the game and before I started I just wanted to ask what the major bugs in the game were and if any mods have been made to fix them so I could install them before starting.

I...

So you didn't actually see any of the family system yourself? The screenshots and videos I've seen seem a bit inconclusive. I'll just wait with my fingers crossed hoping for something that would...

What did you do to them... :shocked:

Hi thank's for all those answers you managed to get! Really interesting! Now it's confirmed there are no titles, I was just wondering if you noticed how characters work in the campaign? Is there just...

It's not that 1 turn = 2 years but that there are no longer any years at all in M2TW only turns. The game doesn't start in 1080 and finish in 1530 it starts in "Turn 1" and finishes on "Turn 225"....

Stirrups:

Everyone thinks that before the stirrup cavalry was almost completely ineffective and use the stirrup as one of the things which made the medieval world come into being. This is just...

The Roman republican army was hardly professional. It was a citizen militia made out of Romans who served for a short period before returning to their fields/villas (Similar to how the Greek Cities...
