Jerusalem on VH

[TheJoker]

All I can say is, Antioch can kiss the fattest part of my white clad ass. Allies?! BAH!


Well, my current campaign on VH/VH with Jerusalem has gone very well as far as fun goes, there've been no wierd AI armies, everything's gone great, except for diplomacy and I'm being horse zerged with jihad armies every turn.

Currently I'm in territorial gridlock with Egypt. Er.. I was. Until Jihad got called on Jerusalem. So. The Turks stepped in, so I'm at war on multiple fronts now with two powers who MASSIVLEY out number me, and Antioch not only lets The turks just walk through thier land withotu a scratch. (Antioch is the current over all leader) they refuse to fight Egypt with me! May the pope in his almighty white underpants excom them!

Egypt is in second place overall, and has taken Kerak, (I had to send an army to defend Jerusalem from the Turkish jihad, and Egypt had catapults, and I only had one unit garrisoned.) And I've been holding them off in my own sandbox for fifty turns. HOWEVER! Every advance I make into there territory leaves me too spread out and Ineed to call my army back to help defend territory. I even tried gifting Antioch provinces I was sick of defendign if they'd attack Egypt, but nope. They're making too much money off thier trade rights.. Asshats!

Just force the war. Wait for a chance when an Antioch stack and a Turk/Egyptian stack are next to each other. Then attack and have your 'buddies' forcibly join you in combat and war.

I've been trying, but an Antioch stack has never come within the same few inches on screen as an egyptian one. And I refuse to use cheats!

I've been considering surprise buttsecksing Antioch's undefended lands in the south and blizting through a few provinces to kill thier economy, thus causing them to start losing thier fight with the Turks, and the impending Egyptian invasion. I could always pack up my crap and take an island, then retake Jerusalem later.
