Poland and England Goof

**Bringer Of Storms** · February 03, 2013, 02:18 AM

I'm currently playing a Mongol campaign. Being stuck in the east the majority of the time, I was curious what was going on in the west, so I toggled the fog of war, discovering an anomaly between Poland and England.

It seems they switched capitals, what would cause something weird like that?

It appears that sometimes the AI prefers trading off a region over the threat of losing it (I've noticed this a lot in ETW, but not yet in my own M2TW)
and they're probably not capitals, since those cannot be traded if I'm not mistaken

I guess that they got excommunicated and the Pope called a crusade, and well, Poland took the settlements of England and HRE, and England took the Poland's one

if they both were the target of a crusade, it's not logic that they joined the one against eachother

Haha that's funny. I've noticed that Poland is far more open to "colonising" places - they will go to land far further away from their main territories - than most other factions.

You could always go back to a save where it hasn't happened and try and figure out what went on. I assume you would have noticed if a Crusade was called on London, Frankfurt or Krakow.

Just a crusade on Frankfurt, no where else.

Maybe, first Poland got excommunicated and England took the settlement, and after sometime England got excommunicated and Poland, already reconciled, took the other settlement? IDK, just a thought.

It's called the Sister Cities program.

Hahaha yeah they just took it a bit too far...

LOL thats funny and weird, does seem like ETW trading though... I've seen that happening (of a sort) once or twice as well with other factions in my campaigns.

It seems to me that the Polish took the province of Nottingham. That could have been a naval invasion. For some reason, the AI seems to mainly pick Nottingham for naval invasions on England. The Polish may have started a naval invasion towards England when they had a province adjacent to the Baltic Sea, which they probably lost afterwards.

Concerning the province held by England in Eastern Europe, I would presume this to be the result of a former crusade against Lithuania. Is this the province of Vilnius?
