Hey everyone, i'm new to Stainless Steel and i've just been playing the Byzantine early era campaign. The campaign was going great, I had Venice and Hungary in the palm of my hand (with regular bribes of around 500 florins and map info) and the crusader states were my ally against the Muslim factions (which was handy since there was a jihad called on Constantinople). Everything was going good, I was planning on weathering the Jihad and then pushing deep into Anatolia...until suddenly there was a MASSIVE drop in public order across almost my entire empire. Where settlements were once green face or yellow now turned red and the HRE declared war on me with a full stack crusader army on my land. My question is, why? Does it have something to do with the face that I was basically executing all of the Muslim prisoners I had taken causing my faction leader to lose all his chivalry? BTW I was playing with BGR IV.
