Yes, I'll posts an example on who things can go FUBAR in war.

What the heck am I doing in Navarra??? At least I´m really powerfull, don´t mess with the duke! :rofl: Oh I have to do some rearch now, when you can find the time it would be nice if you could make a screen of Hessen in 1187 in my threat (it has some time I work on Brandenburg in 1337 now). Cheers!

So I go to war with Saxony, over little Reval. No biggie, and it's going smoothly.

Then I get a knock on the door.
"Hi!" says the postman, slinging his AK47* over his left shoulder.
"Hi..." says my latest incarnation, King of Denmark and Duke over the known world. "What do you have in the mail for me today, mister postmon?".
"I've got these commercials"
"No thanks"
"I've got this letter from one of your vassals"
"Hmm, that must be an invitation to his wedding, let me have it"
"Okay, here you are, sign here please" [scribble, scribble]
"Nice stamp, a bloody arm clutching an AK"
"Yes, it's brand new, well goodbye kingy"
What was in that mail you ask? A letter from an African vassal that claims that the Fatimids had declared them war. "That cannot be" my latest incarnation thinking out loud (yes, he can think), "the Fatimids are the Egyptian kingdom, they are friggin huge". But, alas, it was so.

*The postal service are the only ones allowed to own/operate/beinvicinityof an automatic rifle. They have even gotten a special permit from GAWD to use anachronistic weapons in CK, as long as they stay out of the real game, for, as GAWD put it, where would we be without the ability for postal workers to go postal?

but remember, it was a savegame from 1116, other 3 centuries of population growing...could be enough

8000 in constantinopel??

oh, found their capital.. in russia. Cultures being Arabic, Russian, Greek Sunni, naturally

 

[unmerged(26514)]

uh-uh, Mork. 700 odd souls to attack fatimids?!?
I mean, 2*12000 would be better
Any chance constantinopel has loaded up?

 

[Ardryn]

uh-uh, Mork. 500 to attack fatimids?!?
I mean, 2*12000 would be better
Any chance constantinopel has loaded up?

Maybe he's just testing the water?Heh, or maybe he clicked the wrong army. :wacko:

I hope they use thier great armies to attack me, but it seems thatthey have at least 4000 troops in Egupt.

And I have just use the regiment in constantinoble . So much for planning.

Caught with your pants down eh?Hehe, this should be interesting.

 

[unmerged(12680)]

Planning is for wussies! Let your brave 700 men crush the unbelievers!

 

[unmerged(26514)]

Certainly there must be some regiments somewhere waiting to be called?

BTW: Just came to think of how to conquer the world in ck.. always aim for the ruling dynasty, cause their kingdoms to shatter and claim the pieces.

and these fatimidssit on top of 8 or so demensne... atleast taking all the holy lands will be a lot easier when the fatimids cease to exist
Plan something similar for seljuks.. cannot be much more than 4 provinces to be taken surgically

 

[Mork]

Culture change? Couldn't they just field a couple of tousand troops instead?

 

[Mork]

A commander does make a difference.

 

[Mork]

Hehehe. Look at his name.

Now he's a count of Reval.

 

[Endre Fodstad]

Cultural change is always fun if you make your firstborn son the count of some godforsaken province and he brings his firstborn son up there. Oooops....Haakon king of Castile-Norway thirty years later now has Finnish culture due to playing to much with those little finnish brats in his youths(he must love his sauna and liquor). Result? Valencia experiences cultural change from Arab to Finnish!

If you are really unlucky your successor gets named Ikäpakäiva or some similar heathen nonsense...

[Ardryn]

Are the troops still alive?Or did the 'heathen hordes' over run them?

You still have to wade through 30000+ of enemy troops before you reach those dran Seljuks.
The Fatimds are at least at the sea (Im' not going anywhere near the holy land).

I won the battle, isn't that what counts?

 

[Mork]

I'm a second away from hitting "Grand Mobilization".

That's good, how many casulties did you inflict on the Fatimids?
