yeah ive been weary of an attack on my mainland. I cant afford much of an army yet so my homeland garrisons are very thin. It seems I can either spend money on building or units, not able to do both. Unitl I recently took edinburgh and got some cash from a HRE ceasefire I wasnt able to upgrade my ports and markets. One thing I hope deters an invasion is my terror campaign on the hre when they invaded nottingham. I gave up a ransom of 5000+ florin which is a lot for me atm to execute one of the family members who was like a 7 star general. So hopefully others beware. lol
Well things are settling down into two camps now: Ireland, France, Scotland, The Papal States, Milan, Spain, Denmark, and Poland versus England, HRE, and Wales. There are some possible alliance breakers left out there with Norway just coming to peace with Denmark and Portugal and Spain coming to peace. It was basically a situation like WW1. A lot of alliances went to the wayside as soon as people started attacking. Now it seems things are balancing out more historically. I think France and HRE allied originally because england maybe took antwerp, then once that fell to the french the HRE left the alliance when France went to war with another ally of the HRE. I was tryin not to ally with France because I wanted to eventually invade France and bring all historically Celtic lands under Irish domain. However, they do say keep your enemies closer dont they
