Hi guys, brought the game recently on steam. Loving it so far but I have a couple of questions:
1. I found that hiring the Holy Orders was a good ideal when fighting the muslims. However in my recent war in northern Iberia. I don't know whats happening but my Order Army is just randomly disappearing on me at a certain point. I reloaded etc and it happens everytime? Is there something I'm missing? A time limit perhaps?
2. To get past the negatives of Gravekind (is that spelt right lol?). I came up with an ingenious plan (or at least I thought), what I did was as soon as I became King I gave all my duchies, counties, titles (except King ships) except for one Duchy to my Heir. This of course makes him extremely happy lol, and he is by far and large the most powerful person in the realm (I have managed to get rid of most of my vassals in favor of this two rulers system).
This has worked for me for 3 generations now, the King being not very powerful, but it basically means that I can run Gravekind without losing everything every time. However with my most recent King, my son randomly declares war on me, a war of Albanic Independence (he took the Duchy of Albany as his primary title, even though he owns all of Scotland, most of Ireland, parts of lower France, and the Kingdom of Jerusalem).
I just don't get why he is rebelling, as this is the first kid to do it. He is 100 relations with me and I with him. He is has the position in court that he wanted etc, and he is the sole heir of everything anyway. He gains absolutely nothing from this war.
So whats up? I thought I was on to something good here haha.
3. How/why do you make war for more than one county? I saw an option in one way to "Press all Claims" or something like that. But I haven't seen it since, and well I just got the Kingdom of Jerusalem and there are many many places I need to take to complete it, against powerful Muslim nations. But there is no "Press all" option, it looks like I have to do it one county at a time, and wait for the truce thing each time???? Is there away round this?
Thanks in advance
