    Default The whole world attacks me

    Hello,

    I'm playing ME2 with the Holy Roman Empire and France is attacking me in the west, Poland in the east, Sicily, Milan and Venice in the south and I just defeated Denmark in the north...

    Why is the whole world attacking me? Can't I stop them from attacking me by diplomacy or something? Can someone teach me the tactics to do this?

    thx

    your absorbing regions and making alot of enemys, a crusade may follow if it hasnt already. try to rough it out and do not conquer/exterminate for awhile.

    If you're playing on VH campaign difficulty then diplomacy is near useless... everyone will be out to get you. As HRE what you can usually do to avoid conflict with Denmark is either let them have Hamburg or give them military access so they aren't blocked in by you. That way they usually go by to attack Poland.

    If the Pope likes you and your enemies get excommed you can try calling a crusade on them. If it's the other way around you're in for one wild ride.

    Ya your prob is that you maybe expanded to fast and exterminated your enimies cities, what i would do is start over and try to get a good ally perferbly denmark and just try to work france, and if you do that ally with england, just dont exterminate catholic factions give you bad rep and the pope will start to dis like you. and ALWAYS ally the pope it does wonders for you! hope i helped

    i would take out venic and genoe because they are money hungry and atleast one of them will always break alliances and be at constant war with you. HRE gets excommunicated alot because of your geo. location with war always constant with your neighbors.

    The campaign is still recoverable, have your farthest settlements be castles with decent garrisons, hopefully your making decent money so you wont go into debt, and just play defensively, let their waves of troops break on your walls. Hopefully they'll all try to continually assault, in which case you can wait until they're weak from losing all their troops to your castles and then make a quick push into their territory and try to force a peace accord on them, be gentle though. If they try to starve you out, have a few missile horses on standby to continually harass the enemy armies.

    well, unless he's int he gunpowder age, the HRE doesn't get any missile cavalry until reiterrrrrrrs
    i suggest playing defensively on all fronts except where the weakest assault i coming from. push hard and deep into their territory and try to hopefully get your back against the sea. then, with one front secured, open up another offensive on another weak assaulting front and push deep. rinse and repeat until YOU RULE ZE VORLD.
    oh, you'll need money. LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY. in the deep economic (hopefully) heart of your empire, abandon any troops that don't help the public order or aren't going to your borders. free upkeep militias are your best friends

    The whole world always attacks you. For a time they were considering the release of a 'Total Diplomacy' title, but it was not well received by the game testers.

    being in constant debt would be my only reason for restarting a campaign.

    I would be more interested in how far into the campaign he has progressed and what territories have been taken before giving advice.

    your owning everyone else so they want to attack the big bad guy on the block. Most of the time it's jealously

    So that must mean he attacked the Pope.

    Gee, I wonder why all the Catholics are attacking him now all of a sudden...
