..for all ye Ireland bashers!

[Santiago de Pola]

Fear the might of the four leaf clover!

That's how Ireland does in my Novgorod campaign..rewriting the map of europe!

BTW it took all my money to get map info from them(around 1800 florins)!

So I guess they're not all that dull and weak after all!

Bloody hell! The french getting their butts kicked by the Irish? How on earth did the 100 years war go so long

[Zendjir]

Hey now that's cool . Did you mod them to make them more effective or is this vanilla SS6.1? In my game they just stayed on their island eternally looking for that one four-leaved clover that would garuantee them world domination. They never found it....it was crushed on a field somewhere by my invading armies .

[spanish_emperor]

wow poland seem to have surrounded you entirely. And denmark seem to have conquered a large part of the Holy roman empire.

[Serious J]

Odd. I have never seen them leave Ireland except for the occasional failed attempt cat Caernarvon.

Tell me about it! I was shocked when I stumbled upon green Bordeaux, but the real surprise came when they gave me the map info!

No mod..this is vanilla 6.1 out of the box Ireland!

wow poland seem to have surrounded you entirely.

Actually I surrounded them!

Ireland is always successful in my campaigns. In my most recent Kievan campaign, Ireland conquered the British Isles and is now moving into Norway.

I am nearly 200 turns into my early era Byzantine campaign. Other than Wales, which is under Norwegian control, the Scots control all of England. Probably because the English virtually destroyed France early in the game and obviously didn't care to defend their own lands. Ireland....they've got their standard 3 provinces and haven't been heard from. Looking at your Irish map...What faction is that that controls Constantinople? Is that Egypt?

Sorry, but Ireland still needs to be removed as a faction. If any area on the map is best represented by disorganized rebel provinces, it is Ireland.

[Barser]

Nice .

[sirfiggin]

I'm sorry but this seems seriously unbalanced, the men of Ireland and Scotland were too few to mount anything more than a reactionary campaign, in my byzantine campaign the Scots have taken London! The William Wallace character needs to be balanced by the return of King Edward with his crusaders, like in Kingdoms.

This is a game, not history. It's more of a what-if scenario than a blow-by-blow historical account of medieval europe

Ecsactly. That is one of the charming things about TW. Many people think tw is a medieval simulator

Don't get me wrong. I want to pump as much historical accuracy into this game until its bursting from it's eyeballs. But I'm talking about unit rosters and the setup at the start of the campaigns. After I hit the end turn button for the first time, I like to see what different things can happen. For example, in my current campaign, Scotland has allied with HRE instead of France (which it did historically) and is now attacking the French. Basically if I wanted everything that happens each turn to be exactly historical, I'd read a history book

Although it can be fun when things happen that happened historically. In one campaign, I had the Mongols sack Kiev pretty much the same time that they did in history

[Croaton]

the Scots have taken London!

Hell yeah Nothing can stop us from World Domination

[tup]

In my campaign the Irish owned part of England and half of France.. but somehow they didn't manage to proceed furhter and at some point went rebel. Now there's Scotland owning the British Isles, part of France and Iberia - but not invading rebel (weak rebels also) Ireland. The Irish also never got attacked in their homeland... I wonder why the AI doesn't bother going west. :/

[The Lionheart]

I've never seen the Irish leave Ireland. To have them conquer half of France is pretty remarkable.

[Barser]

Realism effects gameplay positivly for me as well. But I like a twist of fantasy included.

I kinda miss some of the funny fantasy units from rtw. Like flaming pigs chariot (though they arent fantasy) schretzing women, and berzerker. Hmm maybe some them was a little to silly but I would love to include them if it was possible.
I always had a good laugh when I threw my flaming pigs at the enemy

[Alexios Komnenos]

schretzing women are no fantasy. Germanic women went to the battle not to fight, but to cheer their sons and husbands, and also to insult them when they fought badly.
