Other than that ... a beauty of a game. I recall 13-16 years ago playing a simililar game on PC that was pretty cool. Anyone remember something like that?

Lords of the Realm?

I don't recall much, except it was about England only, you could man the catapults while attacking a fort. You could throw "diseases" over the walls to weacken the defenders. You had to micro manage your economy.

Same years as playing Flight of the Intruder.

I was also quite happy taking out rebel settlements and leaving France alone. But do they leave me alone, no. No Im handing their arses to them.

Crusaders can cross catholic countries unmolested - however, if the crusade stops, getting back causes all sorts of problems. March an army to the south of France, and take merc ships to the holy lands is the best solution.

Thanks. But, I captured some settlements in the middle east and have a base of operations there now. I'll use your idea in future games.

I love how a Christian country can attack yours. But once you start kicking their butts for attacking you the pope demands you stop.

Great.

My marriage is suffering enough from Aces High, but now you all go and put this idea in my head...

I've been playing. I've found that a good assassin is worth his weight in gold. I've trained a formidable assassin army. I start low with princesses, merchants and such and just keep killing anyone I can.

Then I go after the religious heierarchy (SP) and keep killing the cardinals till mine get promoted. I'm going after the pope himself now. My faction is next in line for the pope and once it is I'm assuming my relations will be better.

How do u increase the piety of your homies?

BlueJ1 · « **Reply #56 on:** December 09, 2006, 07:10:43 PM »

I do it by killing heretics. Witches seem to give more.

For your familly, not only for the priests?

BTW, for the ones that wonder, the collector edition comes with a DVD of the history chanel on the cruisades, a DVD on the knight templars, a CD of the soundtrack of the game.

Building churches and recruiting priests seems to help raise the families piety. I usually have a priest accompany my armies but I am not sure if that helps.

What a great idea gunslinger ! I've been plauged with inquisitors and spys for ages now, it's got to the stage were I have to keep moving family members around to protect them from the inquisitors, you don't start a war by knocking off cardinals do you ?
