Conquering Pagans

[unmerged(17563)]

I was crusading against Pagans in the Crimea as Bohemia today and something very annoying happened. I had called on my vassals Duke of Wallachia and Maldau to send troops, I began my atack with these vassal forces while my main host under the King moved through Hungary.

I began sieging a province and captured it but the province transferred to the Duke of Maldau! wtf he was fighting for me the dammed King! and when I asked him to give up his claim he declared war on me!

This is damm annoying, all armies serving the King whether they are from vassals or your own demense should capture provinces for the crown not their own commanders! This silly and annoying

any thoughts?

It's a WAD, and a good one at that IMHO.

Heathen provinces always go to whoever lead the sieging army.

In game terms: always lead with your character armies that what to conquer something for your demesme.

Historically: how you think people like Baldouin gained a crown in the Holy Land?

Agreed, otherwise this would be one hell of an exploit. You have a grand mobilization, then you disband your demesne troops and let your vassals incure the expense and you get the conquered lands.

2 ways to exploit vassal work

1 keep your king as a mobile small force and send him to which ever seige is closet to finished his troops will speed up the seige and sine he outranks The leaders there he takes it himself

2 sometimes you get anom leader armies from your own demense use them to add to each vassal seige when the seige is almost done wiThdraw the vassal army leaving your anom alone to omlude and take possession in your name

I again point to a thread with a good discussion about this (made by me of course )
