Everybody Wants a Piece of Me

[Kozi]

I find LTC much more enjoyable than any of the other mods that I have tried, but I am having a few issues:

1. Nearly every faction attacks me. I have tried several Sicily campaigns and it seems like no matter what I do, all of the other factions gang up on me. The only war that I actually started was against Egypt because of a crusade. Other than that, I was allied with England and Denmark, but after Venice, Germany, and Genoa started wars with me, I lost my allies and now Poland attacked me and Hungary, Spain, and Portugal don't like me very much and it's only a matter of time before they attack as well. Is this my fault for bad diplomacy? I can understand if I am at war with a kingdoms ally, but I can't figure out why EVERYBODY keeps attacking me. Additionally, none of them will accept a ceasefire. Has anybody had similar experiences? Is there a trick to improving relations with other kingdoms? I don't remember having these problems in the vanilla version.

2. This one is kind of minor, but I have never made it to the enemies gates with my battering ram. It gets destroyed before I ever get there, even if they don't have archers with flaming arrows. However, if I am being sieged, the AI battering ram makes it to my gates probably 90% of the time even if I have several sets of archers trained on them. Is this a balancing issue?

Other than minor issues, this is a fantastic mod! Thanks!

1. On VH/H your relations with other factions will go down each turn, its how M2Tw works. So play on M if you do not want that to happen.

2. Flaming arrows/bolts from towers are more effective against rams than flaming arrows from archers.

Thanks Lusted! I appreciate the feedback. I was not aware that the relations deteriorated over time automatically. I guess I had never noticed it before.

Go down each turn eh? Well that makes sense now that I know it. How would I keep in good standings with the other kingdoms? I figured if I didn't offend them that things would go well, but if that's not the case, do I have to keep giving them gifts? Now.. I never get gifts.. I want gifts! WAR!

Also, Lusted, If i wanted more reasonable diplomacy and chose the medium setting for my first time playing your mod, I assume all enemy stacks and tactics will be much easier as well. Is there a way to help my diplomacy without making me automatically win?
