That cocksuckin motherfuckin sonofawhoreless bitch of a pope had 2 of my 10 star generals executed via Inquisitors. How the fuck do I get rid of them? My 2 best assassins of 4 stars had only an 8% chance each, both attempts failed.
Is there any way to protect your named leaders against them via other units?

Restarted as well, as spain. Allied with Portugal, Moors, France, England, Sicily, Malinese (or whatever they are called).
Everybody is happy happy lol. Almost no wars :S
I usually (lol usually, only played like 5 hours total  ) only have 1 Castle, i think thats enugh unless you reallly really need good units fast. I mean the cities give such nice income soo, and still pretty good units, well at least for defending against rebels and crap.
I wish Civilization 5 would be in this engine, both the strategic map and the actual battles. Imagine how cool that would be!! I dont care if it is a very slight cartoon style to it like in Civ4, just imagine 50 tanks vs 5000 archers

If you mean the big armies then no, your army can only consist of 20 units. If you mean how many knights your generals unit can have then the answer is that they increase with his command-potential and/or status.

yep like to know that to and:
What are the priest or what ever church men for ? I just started the campaign and dont know what exactly are they for. The same goes for the merchants. The help dint tell me exactly what can I do with them. And I had that "princess" or what ever and now I lost her.. dont know where the heck she is.
And I dont have a manual... yet  so cant read what they are for.
And yes: this really sucks that you cant look at your city like in Rome Total War. Sure love to c a huge castle and stuff.
PS: where is that file that I need to change in order to make 1 turn = 1 year etc 
edit: found it but now I cant f* change anything there... dam. |

if you have an archer unit that is capable of doing that, you can set up spikes during the setup phase, it will be at the special ability button, where fire arrows are in battle.
priests increase faith in your provines, it's important if you want to be the pope's pal
merchants dont cost any upkeep, move them to special resources on the map (iron, wool, ...) to receive gold each round, it will tell you how much you get at that resource by hovering over it with the mouse while having a merchant selected. you can also *kill* enemy merchants by taking them over with your merchants.
princesses will disappear from the map if you agree to marry them to someone. sooner or later they might find a suitable husband by themselves and you'll just have to say yes or no. other option would be to make em run over the map to another faction's heir for example.

I actually bought this game but it is in German. So fed up with the German voices trying to sound French and what have you, I bet the English voice acting is soooo much better. Dling the RL version as we speak . What a waist hey  . Game is so fracking great though (mind the German lingo) Starting to get the hang of everything, crusades, merchants, priests and all . 15 min to Eng version here...GOD its gonna be good
I even stopped playing SC cause this just rocks, just love historical games...maybe time to see Kingdom of Heaven again

Well the accent-acting is decent i guess. I personally feel it gets a bit too comedic with accents. Either they should have been in their native languages or in normal english. But it seems they've choosen to add some comedy to the game in other aspects as well (spies sneaking into towns with a big fucking bush as camoflague etc).
Takes away alot of the games seriousness if you ask me.

You can also use the priest to burn heretics!!! There was one that popped up near my cities and was running away from me spreading revolt and chaos around till I burned the bastard with myp priest hehe!!!
I'm having a lot less difficulties on the brit campaign, cause you just need to focus on getting all britain yours than you can form a crushing army to advance on the rest of europe!
When I started as France, I really got attacked from anywhere that's why I said it was to difficult, I didn't have the funds to fight back and I had to deal with the holy roman empire, the spanish, the brits, and milan even though I had the pope on my side bleh

Actually the churches and priests are so you maintain your own religion in your regions, because if another dude comes and start preaching about islam and such your cities will get "Religious Unrest", which is pretty much just as bad as if you just occupied a settlement of a foreign religion.
I usually keep 1 priest in each city to constantly raise the religion in my regions and counter the effects of the enemy heretics/prophets. Churches supposedly help with this, prolly works with just churches and no priests too.
KeyserSoeze, well you can always have armies next to eachoter, if you want to have a truly huge army when attacking a city just surround it completely and all the armies will enter the battle.
Anyone else REALLY sick and angry about the whole ship-to-ship combat and fleet and port blockading bullshit? I hated it just as much in Rome as i do now.
I mean omg, half of the time you attack an enemy fleet (which you have to, since they do blockades on your ports, crippling your income) if you loose or they loose the ships that are remaining just sail fucking fivehundredthousand miles away!! 
Its sooo damn annoying! 
If they just sunk the ships it would be fine. I hate the naval crap as it is, i think its just an annoyance the whole blockading port thing and such, but if they just sunk the ships when attacking it would be acceptable.
As it is now its so FUCKING annoying to have the enemy constantly survive even tough it said "Heroic Victory" etc, and vice verca when your ships get defeated, fucking sailing away into nowhere and taking 3 turns to sail back. Fuck that i just dismiss them.
Every single turn in the later stages of the game i have to spend like almost half of it just to managing the fucking idiot admirals that sail out to sea to escape death. JUST DIE OMG!! U think i care? DIE! 
I hate the naval crap  Im gonna play as russia next time so i dont ahve to bother lol

If you mean the big armies then no, your army can only consist of 20 units. |
if your armies consist of uneven unit cards...
like two unit cards of cavalry that both have like 4 people in them, you can buch them all into one army and hit M to merge the deficient unit cards into whole ones
like in rome i once had a ballista unit card of 1 men
1 man can't operate a ballista, so he just stood there unarmed
i just sent him fight an army of 3000 by himself
the onslaught was hilarious.. he routed almost immediately upon sight of enemy and was promptly ran down
the merge function either didn't exist in rome or i never got to be aware of it
damn useful now though

the merge function was in every total war since the shogun addon I believe.
and I believe you can turn off the accents in the options somewhere
sub_faction_accents = 1

Just click the unit cards once you select an army and drag them onto a similar unit to reinforce that.

Great game. Looks great plays great. But 2 thing's that I dont like is 1) why the heck doesn't the enemy attack you when you are taking their men down with missile fire ? Like I won a battle because my men just shot everyone and they all died. Only once the enemy attacked me when I used archers. This bug should be fixed. Im playing on medium difficulty.
2) You cant look at your buildings and city like you could in Rome Total War.

I will say once again : what's wrong with pc devs these days releasing beta versions of their game and counting on the community to repair their game???
Guild 2, Gothic 3, Nwn2 are buggy and from what I hear the new splinter cell too. All those being quite big titles (well except for the guild 2). They need to get their sh*t together |
Not quite. Developers make games that fit the mainstream gamer, the average joe. Not everyone is looking for hardcore realism. Some people - the majority of people i dare to say - are looking for a nice, enjoyable game they can play for a while.
There are the people like me for example, who prefer to go all realistic. These kind of people will create or use mods - if possible - to get what they want out of the game.
Instead of complaining why a company creates a game to fit the majority of players, we should be happy that they also make a game we can twist to fit our taste.
Positive thinking. |
Csebal. did you even read his post? |
Yes, but i ignored the part where he pretended the lack of 'realism' aka the need for modding to make the game enjoyable a problem with today's gaming. The bugs you can't mod out anyway, only in some really rare cases.. the other things however are mostly not bugs, just things some players would like differently.

Well i wont reply gameplaywise anymore because all what i wanted to say i had to say, but saying that i am talking bollocks history wise about the heir thing is incorrect.
There were alot of different laws used in those days.
First you had the Salic Premogeniture, all titles go to the oldest son and if he dies his oldest child. (France used this) no female inheritance
Then you had the Semi-salic Premogeniture, all titles go to the oldest son and if he dies to his oldest child, if he cant provide an heir the next oldest son in line has the claim (England, kings of Normandy used this one) - female inheritance, even a female traces inheritance to her oldest male child
Salic Consanguinity, all titles go to the STRONGEST son and if he cant provide the next strongest son. (was in use by Poland) and no female traces inheritance
Semi-salic Consanguinity, basically the same as above, but also a female traces inheritance, was in use by the kingdom of serbia / sicily.
Salic Gavelkind, all titles are equally divided to all male heirs (princedoms in russia)
Semi-Salic Gavelkind, all titles are equally divided to all male heirs even grandchildren heirs (duchy of Gwynedd current Wales)
Elective Law, the rightfull heir was the strongest vassal and he claimed the throne (empire of byzantium)
So dont lecture me on history if you dont know anything about it. This is only to point out that you should have the option to chose your heir. Nothing less, nothing more i do not expect something like this in Medieval before i get flamed about my geeky history reply. I only want an option to chose heir thats all. Sorry that i like to control the way my dynasty turns out and dont like to be pushed in how i should run things. But if you enjoy it fine. |
One thing i stand corrected in regards of my original post: you do not need to learn history, as you obviously know it by now.
It was either missing from my post, or you just didnt quote it, but i never intended to say that there was only one type of heritage rules in medieval times. If it was missing, then well.. thats what you get if you re-edit your post 5-6 times before posting.
The point of it was that the form presented in the game is the most common / well known one. Minor variations might occur, but the main principle was more or less the same.
Other than that, i criticized the way you dismissed the game because of 3 minor things originally, so well.. i guess you just don't wanna discuss that.
ps.
Congrats on figuring out how to use the internet to gather information. I'm amazed.
ps2.
Never doubted - what else, i specifically said - that the game could use those feautres you were missing (except for the city view which is just for show), i only argued, that the absence of these features are - by far - not ruining the game.

Well, as the Turks, i also tend to call jihad against baghdad. It is a nice big city, and not only does calling a holy war help taking it, but you also get nice exp bonus, and some cheap units through it. Not to mention the bonus cash, and the city
Oh, and the crusader AI is kinda dumb as well I had a one peasant force in the narrow valley with the only way leading towards the crusade target. The only straight way at least, and despite the fact that the crusade was called against my city, instead of going right past my one unit army, the crusaders started to walk around the whole mountain chain, effectively adding 3 turns to their trip.
As far i noticed, you can call a jihad 10 turns after the last one ended, and frankly if you are playing the muslims, i see no reason why you shouldnt utilize that to its full extent I find that the AI isnt even using it to its fullest. I mean.. i don't see a jihad called every 10-20 turns.
Ah well, i hope they get some AI improvements done those archers are absolute killers for now, the enemy just refuses to attack them, if they are not the attackers.

I dont know how but I did it... was thinking of quiting and loading to try again (to bring more men into the castle) but... I won  Playing on medium difficulty. And the battle lasted about 45 min. The AI was so confused because of my suicidal and completely fucked up tactics.
http://hot.ee/discworld/wtf.jpg
and if your wondering: what units did the enemy had?
Then the enemy had about the same units that I did. But he had more of them. And they looked even stronger than my men. If I hant used my cavalry to attack the enemy from behind all the time then the enemy would have killed all my units. In some way the AI units are sometimes supper strong

I had one full army. After a long and very nice battle i managed to win but they got my king who died a heroic death, allso deserving some creds where the crusader knights, had 2 units of them.( the ones on fot with sword and shield) They took down like 250+ enemys eatch .
