They're not really routing. Stay on your nice little hill if you still want to be King.

Don't drink the freakin' water!

Yes, crossbows *do* work against them, but you'll only win if you bring a supply train!

Strike first and wipe out the Germans *now*, or you'll be a laughingstock for the next few hundred years.

Hmmm yes, that's a good one! Modern historians have begun conjecturing that playing CK to all hours of the night directly contributed to not only the fall of Constantinople and William's victory at Hastings, but was also a deciding factor in the outcome of the Battle of Orleans.

:D

A) He did stay on the hill, it was only the Fyrd who fell for it three times in a row.
B) The game starts afterwards, I think.

Some more:
Personally retrieving your family's war banner is a nice gesture, Leopold, but not too smart when there are beefy halberdiers a few paces away.

If the Holy Roman Emperor decides to forgive your rebellion, don't stab him in the back, especially if you're from Saxony or Bohemia.

For seven years he had not confessed for fear of being compelled to be reconciled to Philip, but now he received the offices of the Church with sincere and exemplary piety, and died in the forty-second year of his age on April 6, 1199, worthy, by the consent of all men, to sit with King Arthur and Roland and other heroes of martial romance at some Eternal Round Table, which we trust the Creator of the Universe in His comprehension will not have forgotten to provide.
The archer was flayed alive.

Wrong answer :D

Prepare like theres no tomorrow.. fortify your whole land silly, and keep an enormous army of Arbalesters and Halberdiers ready :)

There should be almost 200 years to make sure kiev cannot be taken from the east.. partially by spreading there and fortifying..

I like in Medieval TW how the mongol invasions sometimes work. They arrive with about 65.000 men (in MTW terms, this is a looot), but every player I know manages to hold them back....with Arbalesters and Halberdiers....:D

To the Dauphain of France, from a well meaning advisor,

1) Avoid a place called Agincourt

2) If you must go to Agincourt dont charge the English, Starve the bastards instead. :D

"Don't try to stand up to the Mongols as Kiev." -Grayfox

Actually, the Rus faired pretty well in some of the first major battles with the Mongols. They were routed, but the Mongol army was severely damaged. To bad all the Princes begun infighting again after that, and the Mongols had time to pick them off one by one :D

Richard the Lionhearted- Don't go into Germany!!!! lol
