UAI: um.. world war..0?

[Graywolf]

I started a new campaign with UAI 1.5 and CNP 3.2 for SS 3.2. Goes great until something peculiar happens...

I declard a Jihad on Antioch and next turn there is a Crusade on the same city, ok fine. I take the city and with my other Jihad army I defeat a Crusading Templar army. All of a sudden I am at war with 8 European factions. They didn't even attack me nor I them.

So now I have two diplomats trying feverishly to call ceasefires but no one wants it. They wont even attack me. This is bad because it conflicts with my goal of a large trading base. Also having this many enemies so early (now its 1127 at 1 yr per turn) can't be a good thing.

y rep now is very reliable. I'm going to hunt for pirates, I heard you can use it as an exploit to get good relations so that may help me correct this odd anomaly.

Thoughts?

My initial thought is 'yes you did attack them'...when receiving messages about crusades as a catholic faction I often see 'HRE has joined the crusade, as has Portugal, Spain etc etc'

By attacking the crusade you have in effect attacked all of them. A crusade is a joint operation I guess

Assassinating someone youre neutral with and getting caught leads to the same results I believe (tho merchants are ok)

Oh ok that's what I had guessed thanks. Only before my relations would drop to abysmal if I attacked a crusader army so I had ruled it out.
